Is there any good literature/philosophy out there on the colossal uses and abuses of future technology (invisibility, mind control, nuclear weapons, AI) and how to prevent it from/reasonably assure against its happening?

Or is everything gonna go to shite?

A lot of classic sci-fi adresses some of those issues, but of course that's just fiction, not a scientific analysis of any sort. Asimov did create the so-called laws of robotics, but those don't actually work correctly, even within his stories. Sci-fi is more about problems and failed utiopias than sollutions overall.

If you've somehow never read any of it just start with the big names, like Dick or Lem.

Could probably find some sub-par buzzfeed articles.

Them failed utopias, I love them.

but yea, sci-fi is your collection for this topic mainly. Don't think I could actually just give a book that has a plot revolving around this, but it is a common thing that pops up. Like the other anon said, start with the big names.
