Ao longo da história, encontramos grandes pensadores, cientistas e inventores que, num rompante criativo, desafiam nossos paradigmas e nos atiram sem piedade a uma nova realidade, que a princípio pode parecer desconfortável, incompreensível ou até questionável. Mas, afinal, de onde surgem as grandes ideias?

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

Technology promises to save humanity. How's that working out? In this comedy-science podcast, comedy legends Richard Ayoade (determinedly pessimistic) and Warwick Davis (inexplicably cheerful) venture beneath Audible HQ to the Future Tense lab, fully equipped to interrogate the future we're all being told to look forward to.

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.

Essays by international bestselling author Edward Tenner that explore both the negative and positive surprises of human ingenuity How did the addition of lifeboats after the Titanic shipwreck contribute to another tragedy in Chicago harbor three years later? How efficient are wild animals as...

Even the best ideas have little value if they are not explained clearly, concisely, and convincingly to others. Scientists, engineers, health care professionals, and technology specialists become leaders in their fields not just by way of discovery, but by communication. In this essential book, two seasoned communication consultants offer specific, focused advice to help professionals develop, improve, and polish their interpersonal communication, writing, and presentation skills.

Landlords are using software to band together and organise artificial rent hikes. Uber is spiking the price of rides when your phone's about to die. And without drivers' knowledge, car companies are installing software that reports your driving behaviour to insurance companies, so they can...

Would you rather have the real thing of a fake substitute? In this quick listen with easy to follow reasoning, Michael Faeth has set out to change the narrative around artificial intelligence. This isn't an anti-A.I. tirade; in fact the author outlines some very good uses for it. However, we...

“Lepore is our best scholar of the culture of governance. … Here she repudiates the prospect of AI as a replacement for democracy. This is the issue of our times … Lepore is the voice of sanity.”—Jaron Lanier, author of You Are Not a Gadget “Much in history is headlong but few grand...

Technology and screens are amazing and have the potential to serve us so well. Using evidenced-based methods as well as solution-focused strategies, Digital Jim Crow approaches the sensitive, yet often overlooked topic of digital wellness and digital literacy. Especially as it applies to marginalized populations. Extensively researched, while using a neuroaffirming approach, Digital Jim Crow acknowledges the broad factors that contribute to further marginalize and disenfranchise particular groups of people.

An urgent, deeply researched reckoning with the role of tech in our classrooms – from neuroscientist, researcher and former teacher Dr Jared Cooney Horvath. Our children are struggling. Is classroom technology to blame? For the first time in recent history, children are falling behind previous...

What do you do when nothing forces you to act? For hundreds of thousands of years, the environment answered that question for us. Hunger, danger, competition, and scarcity organized human behavior with merciless efficiency. Now, for the first time in evolutionary history, technology is dismantling the very pressures that gave us purpose—and nothing is replacing them. The result is what Boris Kriger calls the Stimulus Void: a world overflowing with information and capacity, yet strangely empty of reasons to begin.

In The AI Illusion: Why Machines Aren't Creative, Luc Julia dismantles the hype surrounding generative AI by revealing what these technologies can actually do (as of today) versus what their promoters claim. Drawing on over thirty-five years' experience in the tech industry, Julia exposes the...

In Mind Engineered, Moawiah Naffaa, PhD introduces a powerful new framework for understanding how artificial intelligence is reshaping human cognition. This is not a book about technology. It is a book about the human mind — and how it is quietly evolving. As AI becomes a daily thinking partner, memory shifts outward. Dialogue becomes a form of reasoning. Intelligence becomes distributed. The boundaries of cognition expand beyond the brain.

Emily M. Bender e Alex Hanna spiegano perché le tecnologie vendute come "intelligenza artificiale" non sono una magia capace di risolvere ogni problema. L'IA di oggi è fatta di sistemi statistici su larga scala, che producono linguaggio e immagini senza comprenderli ‒ non un'intelligenza pensante ma «pappagalli stocastici». Le autrici ne sfatano i falsi miti e mettono in luce le insidie del loro impiego in ambiti chiave ‒ lavoro, sanità, giustizia, istruzione, scienza, arte e giornalismo.

The machines are already here. They diagnose diseases, trade stocks, drive trucks, and manage the supply chains that keep civilization running. Most of us barely notice. But the quiet accumulation of autonomous capability is approaching a threshold beyond which everything changes: the nature of work, the distribution of wealth, the quality of our collective decisions, and even what it means to be a person.

Orwell, Huxley, and Bradbury all saw failings in the way society was evolving. We read their books, watched the movies, and considered them to be great entertainment, but we are now at a crucial point where signs from their dystopian worlds are already visible in the real world, and we appear to be happily heading towards something darker. A compelling and unsettling read, both passionate and well-informed, that explores the challenges facing society, business, and education as we adapt to an AI-driven world.

In Ageless Intelligence, Debra Taylor makes one thing clear: Baby Boomers aren't behind in the AI revolution — they're positioned to lead it. Through personal stories, real-world examples, and practical guidance, this audiobook shows how experience and wisdom become a competitive advantage in an AI-driven world — and how anyone willing to learn can harness these tools to reinvent their career, build new income streams, and stay intellectually sharp.
