Should be compulsory reading for every human being

I have long believed that the current AI is little more than a glorified word processor but had not realised the way that it has been used to monitor what we do, especially at work.

This book will change how you see AI and how it is bring used today and perhaps make us all aware of the challenges and costs that AI brings to our society and the kind of of society we want to live in.

After listening to Rory Stewart talking about his walk through Afghanistan in “The Places in Between” I was keen to listen to another of his books.

My maternal grandmothers family lived in tithe Borderlands which made me keen to learn more about this areas history, which I did.

And of course I also learned about Rory’s fathers history and both are really about the history of the UK NS the British Empire.

Being a walker I was also keen to hear about the rambles of a fellow walker.

Looking forward to hearing my next “Rory” book

A deeply disturbing vision of the future

We are all watching the destruction of our planet while our leaders are fanning the flames

Thank you Tim for providing a view of our future that is a warning to us all

A remarkable story well told

If only everyone watching climate change and China

it makes me realise how little most people know about what is happening in the world

What an amazing woman and amazing story

The narration is excellent and through the storyelling I could almost smell the dust and see the mountains

Dervla had a remarkable life and I heard this book recommended to me when I heard of her death and I could hardly wait to listen to it every chance I got

Truly terrifying

Out previous Prime Minister was setting the stage for war wirh few voices of dissent

Australia does not need ro join America in a war with China and certainly doee not need nuclear submarines unless it plans to be an active part of that war

Australia does not have enough crew for submarines it already has because being in a submarine is really not much fun

Hopefully the new government will veer away from war but I am not hopeful

A real alternative to the mechanical mind

I heard Charles interviewed on ABC Australia's Late Nightt Live and downloaded this book

So called "modem agriculture" destroys the soil that it depends on for its existence and Charles shows us that instead agriculture can regenerate the soil

My family have been farming for 147 years and I am.embarassed by what we have done to the land

I was back at the farm recently and was horrified by the set stocking and the harm being done by the chemicals used

I only hope that more farmers will embrace regenerative agriculture before there simply isn't enough soil to feed everyone

The alternative is famine and despair and the loathing of our grandchildren

Like fish we are not aware of the (capitalism) water that we are swimming in

Capitalism has changed us all for the worst and is destroying our planet despite the alternatives

I am buying the kindle version so that I can take my time reading it
