On the 40th anniversary of Neil Postman's prophetic book Amusing Ourselves to Death (1985), Scrolling Ourselves to Death gathers today's most incisive writers to think critically about the shaping power of contemporary technology. This book explores Postman's insights, connects them to the challenges facing Christians today, and turns difficult challenges into life-giving opportunities for the church. Stepping back from their screens, listeners will be equipped to live faithfully, and grow spiritually, in a "scrolling ourselves to death" world.

Starting with hands, abacus, and slide rule, humans have always reached for tools to simplify math. Pocket-sized calculators ushered in modern mathematics, helped build the atomic bomb, took us to the bottom of the ocean, and accompanied us to the moon. The pocket calculator changed our world, until it was supplanted by more modern devices that, in a cruel twist of irony, it helped to create. Keith Houston transports listeners from the nascent economies of the ancient world to World War II, and into the technological arms race that led to the first affordable electronic pocket calculators.

If you read (or listen to) nothing else on artificial intelligence and machine learning, listen to these ten articles. We've combed through hundreds of Harvard Business Review articles and selected the most important ones to help you understand the future direction of AI, bring your AI initiatives to scale, and use AI to transform your organization.

■空気のようなインターネット 2016年に『さよならインターネット　まもなく消えるその「輪郭」について』という本を中央公論新社から出しました。インターネット論というほどのものではないけれど、これまでのインターネットと、これからのインターネットについて真面目に語ったもので、最近だとドワンゴの川上量生（かわかみ・のぶお）さんが出した『鈴木さんにも分かるネットの未来』（岩波書店）と、方向性は似ています。 発端は、僕が知り合いの編集者に、うちの会社にいる二十歳のインターンの子の話を、なにげなくしたことでした。 そのインターンの子は、こんなことを言っていました。 「家入さんはよくインターネットが大好きって言ってますけど、僕にはよくわか らないんです。なんだか、例えばハサミを好きって言ってるみたいで……」(本文より) 家入一真　「家入学級」はこちらから→ http://yakan-hiko.com/ieiri.html

各地・各学校でのIT機器（主にタブレット）の導入について、筆者なりの「現場への導入はどうあるべきか」「どういう条件を大切にすべきか」という意見を述べてみたい。 ■管理はどうするのか 学校でIT機器を使うということは、児童・生徒だけでなく、教師も含め「不慣れな人の山の中で使う」ことである。まあ、すばらしくよくわかっている先生・生徒がいる場合もかなりの割合で想定できるのだが、そうした人々には依存しないように全体戦略を立てるのが望ましい。 そういう意味で考えると、「管理」は2つの観点で成り立っている。(本文より)小寺・西田の「金曜ランチビュッフェ　はこちらから→http://yakan-hiko.com/kode-nishi.html

Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer? In this book, Sejnowski, a pioneer in computational approaches to understanding brain function, answers all our urgent questions about this astonishing new technology.

Internationally renowned privacy expert Daniel J. Solove draws from a range of fields, from law to philosophy to the humanities, to illustrate the profound changes technology is wreaking upon our privacy, why they matter, and what can be done about them. Solove provides incisive examinations of key concepts in the digital sphere, including control, manipulation, harm, automation, reputation, consent, prediction, inference, and many others.

Books preserve ideas, yes, but they also provoke new ones— they are true tools for thinking. In The Idea Machine, Joel J. Miller shows that books are one of the most important but overlooked factors in the making of our contemporary world.

Declassified is a raw, thought-provoking conversation that dives straight into the questions shaping our future: intelligence and the limits of the Turing Test, ethics by design, surveillance capitalism, social media’s paradoxes, the future of work, AI-powered warfare, climate risk, love in the age of algorithms, the uncanny valley, the road to AGI, and the futures we might build... or fear.

The Drowning Wave is an elegy for the human mind in the age of acceleration—a poetic reckoning with the systems we built, and the tides that now carry us. It explores the quiet violence of progress: how technology promised liberation but delivered dependency, how intelligence became automated, and how meaning dissolved into motion.

Elon & The Future That Forgot Us is a meditation on what happens when progress evolves faster than empathy. It chronicles the transformation of technology from servant to sovereign, exploring how humanity built machines in its image—and was quietly erased from the design. The story unfolds as both prophecy and elegy, examining our collective faith in innovation, the myth of genius, and the loneliness of a world that remembers everything except why it was created.

Lovable AI is not a fantasy. It’s the recognition that technology, when guided by empathy, ethics, and imagination, can amplify our humanity instead of replacing it. From healthcare and education to creativity and communication, AI is becoming a mirror of our best selves — when designed with heart.

As the digital world becomes more connected and data privacy concerns grow, traditional centralized machine learning models face serious limitations. Federated Learning presents a revolutionary approach—enabling intelligent agents to learn collaboratively across decentralized devices while keeping sensitive data where it originates. This book explores the architecture, techniques, and transformative potential of federated learning in environments that are dynamic, distributed, and data-rich.

As artificial intelligence evolves beyond narrow task execution, a new frontier is emerging— Building Agency AI, where intelligent systems are designed to act with autonomy, adapt to uncertainty, and pursue goals independently. This book explores the foundations, architectures, and real-world applications of agentic AI systems, from personal digital assistants and autonomous vehicles to intelligent enterprise agents and AI-driven scientific discovery.

In the digital labyrinth of the 21st century, a quiet anxiety has become the soundtrack to our lives. We are drowning in notifications, yet starving for meaning. We chase the ghost of productivity, only to end the day exhausted, wondering what we accomplished. As artificial intelligence accelerates, an urgent question echoes in our boardrooms, living rooms, and classrooms: Will you be replaced, imprisoned, or empowered? The Centaur's Edge is not another technical manual or a breathless prediction of dystopia.

Humans conquered the world thanks to their unique ability to believe in collective myths about gods, money, equality and freedom–as described in Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind. In Homo Deus, Prof Harari looks to the future and explores how global power might shift, as the principal force of evolution–natural selection–is replaced by intelligent design.

In The Extinction of Experience, Christine Rosen investigates the cultural and emotional shifts that accompany our embrace of technology. In warm, philosophical prose, Rosen reveals key human experiences at risk of going extinct, including face-to-face communication, sense of place, authentic emotion, and even boredom. Considering cultural trends, like TikTok challenges and mukbang, and politically unsettling phenomena, like sociometric trackers and online conspiracy culture, Rosen exposes an unprecedented shift in the human condition, one that habituates us to alienation and control.

Artificial intelligence surrounds us. More and more of the systems and services you interact with every day are based on AI technology. Most AI is narrowly specific; that is, it can only do a single thing, in a single context. Human intelligence is different. We can solve a variety of tasks, including those we have not seen before. In Artificial General Intelligence, Julian Togelius explores technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence and asks what general AI would mean for human civilization.
