520 _aThe Optimist by Keach Hagey is a detailed biography of Sam Altman, tracing his rise from a precocious youth to a central figure in the race to build artificial general intelligence as CEO of OpenAI. Through over 250 interviews, Hagey paints a nuanced portrait of Altman as a visionary risk-taker with near-religious faith in technological progress, whose dramatic 2023 firing and swift reinstatement underscored his influence and the volatile pace of the AI industry.
