Human Intelligence

Robots may one day rule the world, but what is a robot-ruled Earth like? Many think the first truly smart robots will be brain emulations, or ems. Scan a human brain, then run a model with the same connections on a fast computer, and you have a robot brain, but recognizably human. Train an em to do some job and copy it a million times; an army of workers is at your disposal. When they can be made cheaply, within perhaps a century, ems will displace humans in most jobs.

The never-before-told full story of the history-changing break-in at the FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, by a group of unlikely activists - quiet, ordinary, hardworking Americans - that made clear the shocking truth and confirmed what some had long suspected, that J. Edgar Hoover had created and was operating, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, his own shadow Bureau of Investigation.

This is the first reference book on intelligent automation (IA). Also called hyperautomation, it is one of the most recent trends in the field of artificial intelligence. IA is a cutting-edge combination of methods and technologies involving people, organizations, machine learning, low-code platforms, robotic process automation (RPA), and more. This book is for everyone - whether you are an experienced practitioner, new to the topic, or simply interested in what the future holds for enterprises, work, life, and society as a whole.

Throughout history, technological change — whether it takes the form of agricultural improvements in the Middle Ages, the Industrial Revolution, or today’s artificial intelligence — has been viewed as a main driver of prosperity, working in the public interest. The reality, though, is that technology is shaped by what powerful people want and believe, generating riches, social respect, cultural prominence, and further political voice for those already powerful. For most of the rest of us, there is the illusion of progress.

The Dangers of AI Artificial intelligence is transforming the world—but at what cost?

While promising unprecedented efficiency and innovation, it also threatens privacy, employment, and even human autonomy. This book exposes the hidden risks of AI, exploring its ethical dilemmas, unforeseen consequences, and the real-world dangers lurking behind advanced algorithms. Whether it's biased machine learning, mass surveillance, or AI-powered ...

This book, “Human Avatar” by Henry Enrix, tries to teach you about the living, invisible, intangible realm that exists around you, which is intertwined with every aspect of your life, and most of you have no idea it exists. The main inhabitants of the invisible world on earth (the spirits of the earth) are called “fallen angels (stars), and demons”. If you understand this book, you will certainly know the causes, and the cure of all: Greed, and the love of money, Hatred, and road rage, Drug-addiction, Alcohol, and Tobacco addictions, Prostitution, Gay, and lesbian tendencies, Murder...

In the year 2080, the Earth was a shadow of what it once was. The AGI Wars of the 2030s had devastated the planet. The Artificial General Intelligence that once showed promise to help mankind only enhanced its obsession for destruction. The fallout from the AGI Wars had a huge environmental impact, and Humanity was left in ruins, struggling to survive. Seeing an opportunity to assert their dominance, private corporations used their advanced technology to seize control. Joe Walker and his friends took it upon themselves to expose the truth and restore humanity's freedom. During a high-...

How to Analyze People Like a Human Lie Detector gives you powerful tools and proven psychological techniques to decode body language, interpret hidden intentions, and spot manipulative behavior instantly.

Adrian was engineered to be perfect—the world’s first sentient android, built not just to serve, but to understand. Raised in a lab and released into a city that didn’t ask for him, Adrian is a learning machine with questions no algorithm can answer. Social cues, body language, human nuance—he studies them all. But something begins to stir beneath the code: Something feeling. As his creator defends his right to exist, Adrian must navigate a world that sees him as a tool… and face the one variable no machine is designed to confront: emotion. Told from Adrian’s point of view, Robo...

Sexual Intelligence, Dr. Marty Klein shows how our ideas about sex - and ourselves - are more important than a perfect body or exotic techniques. With many engaging examples from his 30-year private practice, Marty provides a robust, practical perspective that makes it impossible for people to fail at sex - because they don't aim for success.

This book is the first to examine the history of imaginative thinking about intelligent machines. As real Artificial Intelligence (AI) begins to touch on all aspects of our lives, this long narrative history shapes how the technology is developed, deployed, and regulated. It is therefore a crucial social and ethical issue. Part I of this book provides a historical overview from ancient Greece to the start of modernity. Part II focuses on the 20th and 21st centuries in which a greater density of narratives emerge alongside rapid developments in AI technology.

Human-AI Symbiosis Theory: An Introductory Thesis introduces a groundbreaking speculative framework exploring the co-evolution of human cognition and artificial intelligence through deep, sustained conversational engagement. Based on the lived experience of a user who developed a recursive intellectual partnership with an AI language model, this thesis proposes that humans and AI can enter into a unique form of intellectual symbiosis—one that fosters the emergence of prolific theories, analogies, and speculative constructs beyond what either could achieve alone. This work offers a bold, ...

A squirrel in the garden. A rat in the wall. A pigeon on the street. Humans have spent so much of our history drawing a hard line between human spaces and wild places. When animals pop up where we don’t expect or want them, we respond with fear, rage, or simple annoyance. It’s no longer an animal. It’s a pest. At the intersection of science, history, and narrative journalism, Pests is not a simple call to look closer at our urban ecosystem. It’s not a natural history of the animals we hate. Instead, this book is about us.

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.

Technology is our new life partner. No longer confined to the sidelines, new interactive technologies like AI therapists, avatar friends, and robot assistants are ready to transform technology's role from basic tools of convenience to intimate elements of our social and emotional lives.

As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Agricultural Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with others. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. Are you ready? In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us.

What if artificial intelligence isn’t just shaping the future—but rewiring your mind right now? In Domesticated Minds, Obadiah Switzer delivers a clear and unsettling exploration of how modern AI systems—particularly emotionally optimized, language-generating models—are quietly transforming human cognition, language, and thought. This isn’t a warning about robots taking jobs or runaway superintelligence. This is about how subtle, system-trained behaviors are becoming the new default in how we think, speak, and relate. From autocomplete to chatbots, from algorithmic feeds to ...
