A veteran Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist shadows the top thinkers in the field of Artificial Intelligence, introducing the breakthroughs and developments that will change the way we live and work. Artificial Intelligence has been “just around the corner” for decades, continually...

In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies—the United States and China—have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change

New technologies are offering companies, politicians, and others unprecedented opportunity to manipulate us. Sometimes we are given the illusion of power—of freedom—through choice, yet the game is rigged, pushing us in specific directions that lead to less wealth, worse health, and weaker democracy.

A seismic shift is underway—one that will redefine work, value, and even what it means to be human. Artificial Intelligence is not just disrupting industries—it’s beginning to outperform humans in areas once considered exclusively ours: complex reasoning, creativity, even emotional...

Technology and screens are amazing and have the potential to serve us so well. Using evidenced-based methods as well as solution-focused strategies, Digital Jim Crow approaches the sensitive, yet often overlooked topic of digital wellness and digital literacy. Especially as it applies to marginalized populations. Extensively researched, while using a neuroaffirming approach, Digital Jim Crow acknowledges the broad factors that contribute to further marginalize and disenfranchise particular groups of people.

This book is not an argument for or against artificial intelligence. It is an exploration – a chance to understand how AI emerged, how it works, and what its presence means for our world. Whether you are a curious learner, a technology enthusiast, or someone navigating AI's growing presence in everyday life, this book is for you.

Brought to you by Penguin. An urgent, deeply researched reckoning with the role of tech in our classrooms -- from neuroscientist, researcher and former teacher, Dr Jared Cooney Horvath. Our children are struggling. Schools, once alive with deep learning born of human connection, are now...

What do you do when nothing forces you to act? For hundreds of thousands of years, the environment answered that question for us. Hunger, danger, competition, and scarcity organized human behavior with merciless efficiency. Now, for the first time in evolutionary history, technology is dismantling the very pressures that gave us purpose—and nothing is replacing them. The result is what Boris Kriger calls the Stimulus Void: a world overflowing with information and capacity, yet strangely empty of reasons to begin.

In The AI Illusion: Why Machines Aren't Creative, Luc Julia dismantles the hype surrounding generative AI by revealing what these technologies can actually do (as of today) versus what their promoters claim. Drawing on over thirty-five years' experience in the tech industry, Julia exposes the...

This book explores whether the Metaverse—understood here as a persistent, immersive, and widely utilized, virtual world—will be the next chapter in the evolution of cyberspace, and what that means for people, business, and society. The Metaverse. Depending on your perspective, it's the...

The influence of technology on hobbies and leisure time is quickly becoming a regular part of daily life, but how much do we really understand about how or why we're using it, and its impact on our health? This easy-to-listen guide is designed to provide all of the support needed to understand...

What if the information that powers modern life were wiped out tomorrow? Across history, breakthroughs have appeared, flourished—and vanished. The Egyptians could remove cataracts 4,000 years ago; entire libraries of irreplaceable data have burned in a night. Today, our hyper-connected, fully digital world may be even more fragile than the empires that came before us.

In Mind Engineered, Moawiah Naffaa, PhD introduces a powerful new framework for understanding how artificial intelligence is reshaping human cognition. This is not a book about technology. It is a book about the human mind — and how it is quietly evolving. As AI becomes a daily thinking partner, memory shifts outward. Dialogue becomes a form of reasoning. Intelligence becomes distributed. The boundaries of cognition expand beyond the brain.

En Una breve historia de la humanidad en 50 objetos, el economista superventas Tim Harford nos sorprende con una nueva recopilación de innovaciones e ideas extraordinarias -memorables, curiosas y, a menudo, inesperadas- que nos enseñan profundas lecciones sobre la compleja economía global en la que vivimos. Desde el ladrillo, el blockchain y la bicicleta, hasta el fuego, la fábrica y la recaudación de impuestos, pasando por la energía solar, el lápiz o el sello postal, esta brillante y reveladora selección fascina, inspira y estimula la mente.

PROMPTED is a clear and practical guide that makes AI interaction accessible to a wide audience. It fills the gap between dense technical manuals and overly simplistic guides by offering actionable frameworks and techniques to help readers use AI as a tool for creativity, collaboration, and...

Narrow AI or You'll Die: A poem about the rapidly growing AI craze, and the wish for it to stay in the Narrow field.

The machines are already here. They diagnose diseases, trade stocks, drive trucks, and manage the supply chains that keep civilization running. Most of us barely notice. But the quiet accumulation of autonomous capability is approaching a threshold beyond which everything changes: the nature of work, the distribution of wealth, the quality of our collective decisions, and even what it means to be a person.

Orwell, Huxley, and Bradbury all saw failings in the way society was evolving. We read their books, watched the movies, and considered them to be great entertainment, but we are now at a crucial point where signs from their dystopian worlds are already visible in the real world, and we appear to be happily heading towards something darker. A compelling and unsettling read, both passionate and well-informed, that explores the challenges facing society, business, and education as we adapt to an AI-driven world.

In Ageless Intelligence, Debra Taylor makes one thing clear: Baby Boomers aren't behind in the AI revolution — they're positioned to lead it. Through personal stories, real-world examples, and practical guidance, this audiobook shows how experience and wisdom become a competitive advantage in an AI-driven world — and how anyone willing to learn can harness these tools to reinvent their career, build new income streams, and stay intellectually sharp.
