The Cellular Grid: How Distributed Energy Will Power AI, Data Centers, and the Next Industrial Era by Donald Williams confronts a quiet but defining constraint of our time: the world’s hunger for electricity is outpacing the systems built to supply it. In this sharply reasoned and forward-looking work, Williams traces the fault lines in today’s centralized power grids, systems designed for a different century, now straining under the weight of artificial intelligence, hyperscale data centers, and electrified industry. What emerges is not a story of collapse, but of transformation.

Klavan argues that science itself is leading us not away from God but back to him, and to the ancient faith that places the human soul at the center of the universe.

Die deutsche Geschichte gleicht einem verrückten Orchester ohne Dirigent. Gunilla Budde bringt diese Vielstimmigkeit meisterhaft zu Gehör.

Big Pharma is more interested in profit than health. This was made clear as governments rushed to produce vaccines during the Covid pandemic. Behind the much-trumpeted scientific breakthroughs, major companies found new ways of gouging billions from governments in the West while abandoning the Global South. But this is only the latest episode in a long history of financializing medicine—from Purdue's rapacious marketing of highly addictive OxyContin through Martin Shkreli's hiking the price of a lifesaving drug to the 4.5 million South Africans needlessly deprived of HIV/AIDS medication.
