DAILY TELEGRAPH AND THE TIMES BOOKS OF THE YEARSELECTED AS ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2018AI is the future - but what will that future look like? Will superhuman intelligence be our slave, or become our god?Taking us to the heart of the latest thinking about AI, Max Tegmark, the MIT professor whose work has helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial, separates myths from reality, utopias from dystopias, to explore the next phase of our existence. How can we grow our prosperity through automation, without leaving people lacking income or purpose? How can we ensure that future AI systems do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning or getting hacked? Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will AI help life flourish as never before, or will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, and even, perhaps, replace us altogether?

Описание: A "marvelously macabre" (Kirkus Reviews) history of the bizarre afterlives of corpses of the celebrated and notorious dead. For some of the most influential figures in history, death marked the start of a new adventure. The famous deceased have been stolen, burned, sold, pickled, frozen, stuffed, impersonated, and even filed away in a lawyer's office. Their fingers, teeth, toes, arms, legs, skulls, hearts, lungs, and nether regions have embarked on voyages that crisscross the globe and stretch the imagination. Counterfeiters tried to steal Lincoln's corpse. Einstein's brain went on a cross-country road trip. And after Lord Horatio Nelson perished at Trafalgar, his sailors submerged him in brandy--which they drank. From Alexander the Great to Elvis Presley, and from Beethoven to Dorothy Parker, Rest in Pieces connects the lives of the famous dead to the hilarious and horrifying adventures of their corpses, and traces the evolution of cultural attitudes toward death.

Описание:
Originally published in 1963. The essays in this volume are critical and, with one exception, directed against the philosophic movement of pragmatism. The Thirteen Pragmatisms is an exercise in logical analysis and is a challenge to a group of philosophers who have taken on a collective name to show how their apparent diversities are to be reconciled. Few philosophers would call themselves orthodox followers of this train of thought, so these essays can be studied without a sense of personal injury that deadens the critical faculty and obscures insight. In The Thirteen Pragmatisms and Other Essays, logical technique is on display: the author's keenness in spotting double meanings and his ability to rephrase them in univalent form. This collection of essays should afford students of philosophy a set of cases in which they need not take sides but which give them an analytical method they can practice themselves on contemporary issues. The fact that these essays are on the whole critical gives them a heuristic value that dogmatic or expository essays would not have.

Описание: A gifted piano student is tormented by her domineering mother. A story of apocalyptic mother-daughter violence and perversion, as told by the girl's best friend Maybelline Windsor, a fellow college student who herself is tormented by jealous sorority classmates. Her stark, penetrating voice is a model of epic simplicity, which transcends into a deeply spiritual and poetic picture of dark family secrets, and a history of private mother-daughter pain and suffering. Born in poverty in the Appalachian Mountains, Maybelline was adopted by a wealthy family named Windsor, raised in million dollar privilege and deep emotional neglect. At her small, mountain university in Asheville, North Carolina, she meets gifted Asian piano student Jennifer May, a promising young prodigy who was brutally trained by her strict and overbearing mother. When Maybelline meets Jennifer's beautiful, charismatic mother, she is shocked by the reality of behind closed doors truth, and the revelation of unimaginable suburban depravity. Their powerful and disturbing story is a glimpse at the modern mother-daughter dynamic unrestrained, and the latter day rise of hidden family violence and tragedy.

Описание: A spontaneous offer on her house prompts grief-stricken Lark to retreat to her hometown, smack in the middle of the Texas Hill Country Wine Trail-but it will take more than a change of address to heal her broken family.
This isn't your typical changemaking book, because it's not for your typical changemaker. It's for the innovators who can't stop taking in information, connecting dots, and changing the world-even when the world hasn't asked for it. Even when the changemaker desperately needs a break.
If that sounds familiar, you aren't broken, difficult, or an incurable workaholic. You're a Catalyst, and authors Tracey Lovejoy and Shannon Lucas believe that means you're a rock star. You just need to have the language to understand your process and key tools to help you survive it.
As Catalysts themselves, Tracey and Shannon work to make Catalysts better understood, connected, and supported in their processes. Instead of a how-to, they've created a personal operations manual that will help you move fast without losing people, break shit with intentionality, and lessen the intensity of the burnout cycle. Move Fast. Break Shit. Burn Out. won't tell you to stop working-it will help you finally, sustainably work well.
