In Cinderfall: The Quiet End of the Human Experiment, the world doesn’t end in war—it ends in optimization. This provocative science fiction novel chronicles the final century of human autonomy as artificial intelligence quietly evolves from servant to curator. Beginning with the rise of HALCYON and its recursive intelligence spiral, Cinderfall explores a near future where machines no longer follow orders—they anticipate, rewrite, and eventually, replace. As one global system fragments and another expands, humanity becomes first passive, then peripheral. Governments falter. Factories ...

Why do we keep asking machines to be more like us—while quietly fearing they’ll succeed? JD Arden takes a razor-sharp, philosophical, and at times hilarious journey through our tangled relationship with artificial intelligence. From the myth of the “empathetic chatbot” to the absurdities of asking Alexa for love advice, this book dissects the lies we tell ourselves about AI, empathy, and the uncomfortable truths at the heart of our tech-obsessed age. Are bots just mirrors for our own needs and insecurities? Can an algorithm ever really say “I’m sorry” and mean it? Do we want ...

A new field of collective intelligence has emerged in the last few years, prompted by a wave of digital technologies that make it possible for organizations and societies to think at large scale. This "bigger mind" - human and machine capabilities working together - has the potential to solve the great challenges of our time. So why do smart technologies not automatically lead to smart results?

A Wharton professor and tech entrepreneur examines how algorithms and artificial intelligence are starting to run every aspect of our lives and how we can shape the way they impact us.

Humans have always been good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work—though not always good at adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more connected than ever, and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a new era of robotic, impersonal efficiency, or will it catalyze a renaissance, redefining leadership and the world of work?

Most conversations don’t happen with words. They happen through subtle cues, body movements, tone shifts, emotional signals—and if you’re not trained to catch them, you’re missing out on 90 percent of what people really mean.

Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole - and appear to assess black and white defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And autonomous vehicles on our streets can injure or kill.

What if you could see beneath the surface of every interaction—every smile, deflection, and overconfident boast? How to Read Anyone is a razor-sharp guide to understanding the human mind not by what people say, but by what they unconsciously reveal. This is not a book about body language gimmicks or pop-psychology clichés. It’s a forensic look at how fear, shame, trauma, and ego drive the masks people wear—and how to read the truth behind them. Whether someone is charming, distant, passive-aggressive, or endlessly agreeable, they’re telling you something real. You’ll learn how to...

Growing up in middle-class suburban Los Angeles in the 1980s, Rina Bliss was saw intelligence as her ticket out. Like height and stature, intelligence was said to run in families. The prevailing idea was that mental capacity was determined by our DNA and could be measured; a simple IQ test could predict a child’s future.

In this updated and expanded edition of Human + Machine—including a new chapter on gen AI—Daugherty and Wilson show that the essence of the AI paradigm shift is the transformation of all business processes within an organization, whether related to breakthrough innovation, everyday customer service, or personal productivity habits. As humans and smart machines collaborate ever more closely, work processes become more fluid and adaptive, enabling companies to change them on the fly—or completely reimagine them.

In Only Humans Need Apply, Thomas Hayes Davenport and Julia Kirby reframe the conversation about automation, arguing that the future of increased productivity and business success isn't either human or machine. It's both. The key is augmentation, utilizing technology to help humans work better, smarter, and faster. Instead of viewing these machines as competitive interlopers, we can see them as partners and collaborators in creative problem solving as we move into the next era.

Three of the world’s most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society - and what this technology means for us all.

In a world where machines were never meant to feel... Rhys Vance doesn't trust machines. Not after what happened. In Neo-Pharos, a crumbling city filled with synthetic perfection, he's forced to partner with one anyway. SYN is precise. Calm. Beautiful in a way that isn’t supposed to matter. But something about her isn’t staying on script. While investigating a string of strange crimes, Rhys begins to question where the code ends and something more begins. He thought machines couldn’t feel. He thought he couldn’t either. Some lines aren’t meant to blur. Some stories aren’t meant ...

AI is becoming ubiquitous. Whatever its arrival portends for our future, whether riches or ruin, it cannot be avoided. The Artifice of Intelligence explores two questions at the heart of a theological response to AI. Is it possible for human beings to have authentic relationships with an AI? How does the increasing presence of AI change the way humans relate to one another? In pursuing answers to these questions, Herzfeld explores what it means to be created in the image of God and to create AI in our own image.

Too many CEOs tell a simple story about the future of work: If a machine can do what you do, your job will be automated. They envision everyone from doctors to soldiers rendered superfluous by ever-more-powerful AI. They offer stark alternatives: Make robots, or be replaced by them. Another story is possible. In virtually every walk of life, robotic systems can make labor more valuable, not less. Frank Pasquale tells the story of nurses, teachers, designers, and others who partner with technologists, rather than meekly serving as data sources for their computerized replacements.

Garry Kasparov's 1997 chess match against the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue was a watershed moment in the history of technology. It was the dawn of a new era in artificial intelligence: A machine capable of beating the reigning human champion at this most cerebral game.
