AI Superpowers, China Silicon Valley and the New World Order, KaiFu Lee
Much more about China than about Silicon Valley. Maybe a 95% focus on China with the bits about Silicon Valley being more just to contrast with what China is doing. A lot of cheer leading in this book and a lot of love for China's approach, but despite the partisanship it is well worth reading. There is a lot of truth in among the basis for his love of the Chinese approach to AI.

Robot-Proof: Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, Joseph E. Aoun
Best book I have read out of higher ed in terms of actually admitting and confronting the challenges that higher ed institutions are currently facing and will increasingly face as market changes driven by automation expand. I don't think it goes far enough in re-imagining higher ed learning for the future, but it is probably representative of how many unis will try to adapt.
