Books shape AI‑policy canons

Curatorial endorsements by prominent commentators (here Tyler Cowen) help set which histories and analyses become the authoritative frame for complex policy debates like chip bans and AI governance. Short, readable syntheses by participants or well‑placed scholars (Buchanan & Collins; Botvinick) can convert technical policy episodes into durable public narratives. — If a few books become the 'standard' histories, they will concentrate debate, assign blame, and channel regulatory agendas around a specific interpretation of chip bans and AI policy.
