What Comes Next

What Comes Next is a bold and urgent call to reimagine the role of education in an age transformed by Generative AI. Written by TED Prize-winning educator Sugata Mitra, it confronts the anxiety facing educators and parents as machines begin to speak, write, reason, and create with human-like fluency.

Rather than predicting the end of school as we know it, Mitra argues that this moment marks the beginning of a new era - one in which teachers rise as "architects of thought," guiding both human and artificial minds. Drawing on philosophy, neuroscience, technology, and decades of groundbreaking work on self-organised learning, Mitra shows why curiosity, ethics, meaning, and questioning cannot be automated.

Provocative, practical, and visionary, this book equips teachers, leaders, and parents to navigate a world where curricula can't keep up with change, and makes a compelling case that the future of humanity, and of AI itself, depends on the teacher more than ever.
