Liquid Computing envisions a future beyond apps and interfaces—a world where artificial intelligence is ambient, adaptive, and seamlessly embedded in daily life. In this era, we don’t “use” computers; we live inside intelligent flows that span devices, contexts, and interactions. The book traces the evolution from hardware to cloud to AI as a responsive, invisible operating medium—always learning, assisting, and co-creating with us. It introduces the Liquid Interface, where interaction is natural, multimodal, and emotionally aware. Instead of commands, we converse.

Dive into the unsettling and fascinating world of the "uncanny valley," where the lines between human and machine blur to the point of discomfort. In this thought-provoking exploration, we'll examine the ethical implications of hyperrealistic AI, the robots, virtual influencers, and deepfakes that are shaping our world right now.

As AI and robotics eliminate jobs across the spectrum, governmental revenues will plummet while the debt increases dramatically. This crisis of limited resources on all levels - underfunded or nonexistent pensions, health problems, lack of savings, and job destruction without comparable job creation - will drive many into homelessness and produce a dramatic rise in violence as we fight over shrinking resources.

Outrage Machine reveals how to navigate a world that has been thoroughly disrupted by technology. It demystifies the underlying machinery that has come to control us and will help guide listeners toward reflection rather than reaction. Pulling together 15 years of research and inquiry, Rose-Stockwell gives listeners a language with which to comprehend what is happening to society, and offer new mental models for how to manage our time, our technology, and our attention, as well as big-picture recommendations for the way forward.

Doomsday headlines warn that the age of “killer robots” is upon us, and that new military technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to the annihilation of the human race. What’s fact and what’s fiction? In The Case for Killer Robots: Why America’s Military Needs to Continue Development of Lethal AI, artificial intelligence expert Robert J. Marks investigates the potential military use of lethal AI and examines the practical and ethical challenges.

The fifth book in this series recounts the nostalgic and moving history of fighting in the skies during World War II, from every fighting air force on both sides of the Atlantic, and the stories of the men and machines that made those forces great. It follows the development of military aircraft - the RAF and the USAF - from fighters to the big bombers that ruled our skies during World War II from the Battle of Britain to the atom bomb.

Hoy algunas de nuestras creaciones tecnológicas surcan los cielos en busca de víctimas humanas. Por el momento aún hay manos y ojos guiando los misiles de los drones militares. En un futuro cercano es probable que algoritmos de inteligencia artificial se encarguen de guiar la cacería. Nuestros dispositivos han cambiado vertiginosamente la sociedad y, en cierta forma, nos preparan para un tecnoecosistema donde humanos y máquinas deberemos reconsiderar nuestras relaciones y jerarquías.

We stand on the brink of a technological revolution. In the near future, most of us will not own automobiles but will travel instead in driverless electric vehicles summoned at the touch of an app. We will be liberated from driving, so that the time we spend in cars can be put to more productive use. We will prevent more than 90 percent of car crashes, provide freedom of mobility to the elderly and disabled and decrease our dependence on fossil fuels. Autonomy tells the story of the maverick engineers and computer experts who triggered the revolution.

We live in the age of Computer Business Systems (CBSs) - the highly complex, computer-intensive management programs on which large organizations increasingly rely. In Mindless, Simon Head argues that these systems have come to trump human expertise, dictating the goals and strategies of a wide array of businesses, and de-skilling the jobs of middle class workers in the process.

Every prime minister of independent India has guided, if not personally overseen, one prized portfolio: technology. If, in the early years, Nehru and his scientist advisors retained an iron grip on it, subsequent governments created a bureaucracy that managed everything from the country's crown jewels - its nuclear and space programs - to solar stoves and mechanized bullock carts. But a lesser-known political project began on August 15, 1947: the Indian state's undertaking to influence what the citizens thought about technology and its place in society.

When Anna Broinowski learned that fracking had invaded downtown Sydney, she had a brilliant idea: she would seek guidance for a kryptonite-powerful, anti-fracking movie from the world's greatest propaganda factory - apart from Hollywood. After two years of trying, she was allowed to make her case in Pyongyang and was granted full permission to film. She worked closely with the leading lights of North Korean cinema, even playing an American in a military thriller.

Switzerland County has its origins in the original wine making Swiss immigrants that migrated into the Ohio River Valley in the early Nineteenth Century. These families were an important part of United States wine making history, as they produced the first commercial wines in the nation. New Switzerland The immigrants named their principal town Vevay, after the Swiss town from which most of them originated. The industrious settlers soon turned the hills and valleys of their new settlement, often called New Switzerland, into productive farms and vineyards. Hay Farming Blight ruined the vines...
