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.

Modern cities are evolving into complex, data-driven ecosystems where digital intelligence and physical infrastructure increasingly operate as one interconnected organism. City of Algorithms presents a thoughtful exploration of how real-time data, smart systems, and algorithmic decision-making are reshaping urban life, sustainability, and human experience. Using a Seattle-inspired lens, this book examines the concept of urban metabolism — the continuous flow of energy, resources, information, and human activity that sustains a city's functioning.

The human brain is remarkably pliable, capable of reshaping itself while still producing firm, enduring thoughts. Across the stages of life, our neuroplasticity gradually declines, yet the mind continues to adapt, compensate, and evolve. Technology, however, does not age as we do. It accelerates relentlessly—its pace now far exceeding the slow cadence of human biological evolution, which has largely plateaued some 100,000 years ago. This widening gap raises an essential question: what happens when our tools evolve faster than the minds that wield them?

In an era obsessed with “AI alignment,” Anti-Singularity challenges the premise that superintelligence must be shackled to human values to remain safe. Written as both critique and manifesto, Maxwell Foley’s book dismantles the moral panic surrounding artificial intelligence and the culture of control that drives it.
