Illustrating data feminism in action, D'Ignazio and Klein show how challenges to the male/female binary can help challenge other hierarchical (and empirically wrong) classification systems. They explain how, for example, an understanding of emotion can expand our ideas about effective data visualization, and how the concept of invisible labor can expose the significant human efforts required by our automated systems. And they show why the data never, ever "speak for themselves."

As advances in AI spark fear and confusion, The Mind’s Mirror reminds us that in spite of the very real and pressing challenges, AI is a force with enormous potential to improve human life. Computer scientist and AI researcher Daniela Rus, along with science writer Gregory Mone, offers an expert perspective as a leader in the field who has witnessed many technological hype cycles. Rus and Mone illustrate the ways in which AI can help us become more productive, knowledgeable, creative, insightful, and even empathetic, as well as the many risks associated with misuse.

This may be the first true AI-era self-help book —not because we need help using technology, but because we need help using it well. It's about building the knowledge —and the confidence —to question, to evaluate, to choose. Because understanding how algorithms work is the first step in making sure they work for us. Human Agency in a Digital World is a book about reclaiming our role —not as passengers, but as pilots —in the fast-moving journey of technological change.

Fehlfunktion ist ein provokanter und experimenteller Essayband, der die Fehlfunktionen unserer modernen Welt unter die Lupe nimmt.

Most AI books talk like they’re pitching a boardroom, teaching a coding class, or auditioning for TED Talk auditions nobody asked for. The average person does not care about transformer architectures, vector embeddings, or “synergistic agent ecosystems.” They care about this: “Am I getting replaced?” “Is this helping me or spying on me?” “What jobs survive?” “What happens to my kids?” “Why does every company suddenly shove AI into everything?” “How do I use this without becoming dependent on it?” That’s the book.

Why the life we made easier still feels hard to live We take the escalator all day, then pay a gym to climb its stairs. We download meditation apps to recover the stillness our devices helped erode. We swipe for connection in cities packed with people. A multi-trillion-dollar wellness industry now sells back the effort, focus, and texture that ordinary life once gave us for free. In Friction, Eliot Mannoia names a defining contradiction of modern life: we pay once for the technologies that remove friction, and again for the products and services that sell it back to us.

A reflection on how to listen and pay attention amid the constant noise that saturates our public and private lives. From podcasts sounding through earbuds to talk shows blaring from televisions, from the continuous stream of social media on our phones to doctors’ waiting rooms with pumped-in...

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
