Ninguna empresa científica reciente ha resultado tan seductora, aterradora y llena de extravagantes promesas y frustrantes reveses como la IA. La galardonada científica informática Melanie Mitchell revela su turbulenta historia, la reciente oleada de aparentes éxitos, las grandes esperanzas y temores que la rodean, y las cuestiones más urgentes hoy: ¿hasta qué punto son realmente inteligentes los programas de IA? ¿Qué pueden hacer realmente? ¿Hasta qué punto esperamos que se asemejen a los humanos y cuándo debemos preocuparnos de que nos superen?

An eye-opening examination into a chilling paradox: our hunger for security—from border walls to video doorbells—is making us less safe and weakening democracies worldwide, for fans of Naomi Klein and Shoshana Zuboff.

While technology is accelerating at breakneck speed, our brains are struggling to keep up. Age of Abundance is a survival guide for this pivotal moment. With gripping stories, cutting-edge data, and hard-won insights from the front lines of innovation, Diamandis and Kotler show how exponential technologies are rewriting the rules of possibility—and how each of us must evolve to keep pace. This is a playbook for turning anxiety into agency and isolation into collaboration—at a global scale.

Bytes and Bullets is an analytically rich account of how technology is upending global competition. Through engaging stories and original research, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace senior fellow Steven Feldstein shows how the West’s dominance is being undercut at every turn by commercialization, China's growing capabilities, and new regional powers building their own spheres of influence. He offers eye-opening insights from modern conflicts and proposes concrete strategies that democracies must adopt in order to maintain control.

Joan Didion told us, “We tell ourselves stories in order to live.” And yet, the story of stories has never been told until now. MIT technology pioneer Kevin Ashton was at the forefront of the digital revolution that led to the invention of the smartphone, the ultimate storytelling device. This latest technology in the long arc of human storytelling allows anyone, for the first time in history, to tell stories to everyone. In The Story of Stories, Ashton tells the untold story of storytelling.

Viral Voices: From TED Talks to TikTok, Persuasive Communication Skills for the Digital Age by Carmine Gallo is a forthcoming audio-original from Macmillan Audio.

Everyone has a basic understanding of how the physical world works. We learn about physics and chemistry in school, letting us explain the world around us in terms of concepts like force, acceleration, and gravity—the Laws of Nature. But we don’t have the same fluency with concepts needed to understand the world inside us—the Laws of Thought. While the story of how mathematics has been used to reveal the mysteries of the universe is familiar, the story of how it has been used to study the mind is not.

Julius Kivimaki, aka Zeekill, is arguably the most hated hacker in history. In one of the world’s cruelest cyberattacks, he blackmailed 30,000 psychotherapy patients with their stolen notes. Yet while the breach was singularly inhumane, Kivimaki’s rise—from twelve-year-old hacking nuisance to Most Wanted criminal—is symptomatic of a larger trend. His story gives us vital insights into how hackers, many of whom are teenagers, find their feet and become dangerous criminals.

Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr—a celebrated researcher and professor of digital humanities—explains how we can hold on to the myriad benefits of technology while evading their hidden dangers. We are all using (and parenting around) a technology we didn’t grow up with; it makes sense that we feel overwhelmed. In Smartphone Nation, Regehr explains how these technologies work, giving you the power to change the way you (and your family) use your devices. Regehr proposes a new, food pyramid-like framework for understanding and improving our digital consumption.

No company embodies the promise and perils of Big Data more than Palantir. Cofounded by Peter Thiel and Alex Karp in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir builds software that ingests vast quantities of data and rapidly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. It is now a $40 billion global colossus whose technology is used by the CIA and the Mossad, by every branch of the US military, by dozens of federal agencies, and by major international corporations like Airbus and British Petroleum.

From the founder of Wikipedia, a sweeping reflection on the global crisis of credibility and knowledge, revealing “the rules of trust” that transformed Wikipedia from a scrappy experiment into a global utility used by billions of people—and how those rules can help others build things that last

Digital transformation expert Paul Leonardi argues that our exhaustion comes from the "exhaustion triad;" that is, the way that our tools change how we pay attention, how we attribute behaviors and intentions to others, and how we experience our emotions. By creating new habits around our use of technologies, we can set up boundaries so they stop depleting us so quickly.

Your company's success or failure with AI comes down to the people, not the tech. Master AI and human intelligence now, and you'll dominate the future. Fail to act, and you'll be left scrambling to catch up. You know AI is critical, but you're swamped with operational demands, buried in meetings, and short on time to figure out where to start or how to get the right things out of it. At the same time, 70% of employees are already using AI in some way—often without company approval. Meanwhile, your competition is quietly gaining an edge.

Cybercriminals, domestic and foreign, are launching attacks day and night using malware, phishing scams, deepfakes, artificial intelligence, and other unscrupulous schemes designed to steal your data and hold it hostage. When they win, it costs nations, businesses, and individuals trillions of dollars annually. It’s possible to fight back, but it’ll take more than a strong password. Drawing on his years of experience as an FBI spy hunter and national security strategist, Eric O’Neill casts light on these malicious actors’ tactics for stealing personal data and exploiting victims.

A revelatory examination of why you’re feeling so worn out—and practical daily strategies to change your relationship with your devices.

With insight into the spiritual and economic roots of techno-capitalism, Kingsnorth reveals how the Machine, in the name of progress, has choked Western civilization, is destroying the Earth itself, and is reshaping us in its image.

The scramble to create superhuman AI has put us on the path to extinction – but it's not too late to change course. Companies and countries are in a race to build machines that will be smarter than any person, and the world is devastatingly unprepared for what will come next. How could a machine superintelligence wipe out our entire species? Will it want to? Will it want anything at all?
