Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 583
Equipped with the entirety of human knowledge, a sentient ship is launched on a last-ditch journey to find a new home for civilization. Trillions of miles. Tens of thousands of years. In the space between, the AI has plenty of time to think about life, the vastness of the universe, everything it was meant to do, and—with a perspective created but not limited by humans—what it should do.

Asimov 2.0
Revisado: 04-03-25
first I thought it is some simple but entertaining sidekick short story of Scalzi -always entertaining and worthwhile.
But this time it was very different.
The story touched me in a way as reading that my first Asimov stories did.
This story is entertaining the very best concept of AI and the future of humanity - between the stars.
Great thoughts.

Serving as a powerful follow-up to Jordan Peterson’s book 12 Rules for Life, Dr. Gad Saad unpacks what is really happening in progressive safe zones, why we need to be paying more attention to these trends, and what we must do to stop the spread of dangerous thinking. A professor at Concordia University who has witnessed this troubling epidemic firsthand, Dr. Saad dissects a multitude of these concerning forces (corrupt thought patterns, belief systems, attitudes, etc.) that have given rise to a stifling political correctness in our society.

One of the most important political books of the last decade
Revisado: 08-21-24
Saad is a sane voice in an insane political environment. It helps that he’s smart.

Pontzer's groundbreaking studies with hunter-gatherer tribes show how exercise doesn't increase our metabolism. Instead, we burn calories within a very narrow range: nearly 3,000 calories per day, no matter our activity level. This was a brilliant evolutionary strategy to survive in times of famine. Now it seems to doom us to obesity. The good news is we can lose weight, but we need to cut calories. Refuting such weight-loss hype as paleo, keto, anti-gluten, anti-grain, and even vegan, Pontzer discusses how all diets succeed or fail: For shedding pounds, a calorie is a calorie.

A most profound on book on nutrition and exercise
Revisado: 04-29-22
I've read a lot on nutrition, exercise and weight loss. This book really ties it all together, in a profound scientific approach.
Don't expect a practical guide for weight loss or exercise. Instead you will gain a very good understanding of the correlation between nutrition, exercise and health, backed with robust scientific evidence. Implementing this knowledge in your daily life is a different matter.

In this now-classic thriller, he and fellow author J. Frederick George tell a shocking tale with an all-too plausible premise. There's no way William A. Cozzano can lose the upcoming presidential election. He's a likable midwestern governor with one insidious advantage - an advantage provided by a shadowy group of backers.

very bad reading for a good book
Revisado: 11-20-11
As I'm not a native speaker a good reading performance is key to the pleasure and understanding.
After just listening to a very well read Reamde from Stephenson this book is a pain to listen to.

America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

One wasted credit

the story drags itself througt the same motive "it is dark and cold ..." in endless loops in a very weak string of events.
