Historia
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

Historia
Utopia for Realists is one of those rare books that takes you by surprise and challenges what you think can happen. From a Canadian city that once completely eradicated poverty to Richard Nixon's near implementation of a basic income for millions of Americans, Bregman takes us on a journey through history and beyond the traditional left-right divides as he champions ideas whose time has come.

Historia
In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which the foundations of AI - the people working on the system, their motivations, the technology itself - is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably, thinking and acting in ways which defy human logic. The big nine corporations may be inadvertently building and enabling vast arrays of intelligent systems that don't share our motivations, desires, or hopes for the future of humanity.

Highly Accesible Discussion - The big Issies of AI
Revisado: 07-04-19
Excellent discussion on the future of AI and its implications on mankind. Goes through current state, capabilities and presents compelling scenarios as to what could be. This is NOT a technical book- it is far more a book about ethics, morality, social sciences, geo-political power struggles and industrial evolution- certainly all resting on Ms. Webbs strong technical comprehension of AI. If you keep hearing all the talk about AI and do not understand why people are so excited and worried about it all, but want to have this understanding- this is the book for you.

Historia
Many blame today's economic inequality, stagnation, and political instability on the free market. The solution is to rein in the market, right? Radical Markets turns this thinking - and pretty much all conventional thinking about markets, both for and against - on its head. The book reveals bold new ways to organize markets for the good of everyone.

Using Markets to Improve Society
Revisado: 08-27-18
Provides a thought provoking and mind expanding discussion on how various forms of markets can be used to improve society. Thesis is that by using advanced and innovative markets, combined by similar voting techniques (specifically quadratic voting), we can find ways to improve the efficiency and fairness of our societies. It is not simply saying that 'more markets' are required, instead it is a proposal to use various market techniques to better solve our problems. I found it a very good listen.

It's no secret that the U.S. national debt is in the tens of trillions. But did you know that America also has future unfunded obligations of over $118 trillion? Unfortunately, America's politicians have no plan to solve our mounting fiscal and monetary crisis. But you don't have to watch this unfold in fear of your financial future. The time for debate is over... It's time to prepare!

If true, very scary

Gives recommendations of how individuals can prepare and protect themselves from these risks.

Great analysis and Ideas, opens the mind
Revisado: 07-29-18
I do not fully agree with all the conclusions made, but the arguments made are clear and thought provoking.
A short, but impactful book that helps to loom at world development in a different way.

A good historical review of the progression of war
Revisado: 06-14-18
By understanding the history of war, maybe it is easier to predict the future. Good historical analysis, very brief future analysis at the end.

In his most provocative and practical book yet, one of the foremost thinkers of our time redefines what it means to understand the world, succeed in a profession, contribute to a fair and just society, detect nonsense, and influence others. Citing examples ranging from Hammurabi to Seneca, Antaeus the Giant to Donald Trump, Nassim Nicholas Taleb shows how the willingness to accept one's own risks is an essential attribute of heroes, saints, and flourishing people in all walks of life.

Another Excellent Book
Revisado: 03-30-18
Likely required 2-3 listenings/readings and then some in depth study to fully grok all the concepts, but well worth the time if you want to understand who around you is misusing stats and thus bullshiting you (either intentionally or unontenionally).
