Recent years have seen a revival of the heated culture wars of the 1990s, but this time its battleground is the Internet. On one side the alt-right ranges from the once obscure neo-reactionary and white separatist movements, to geeky subcultures like 4chan, to more mainstream manifestations such as the Trump-supporting gay libertarian Milo Yiannopolous. On the other side, struggle sessions and virtue signaling lurk behind a therapeutic language of trigger warnings and safe spaces. The feminist side of the online culture wars has its equally geeky subcultures.

The Simulation Hypothesis, by best-selling author, renowned MIT computer scientist, and Silicon Valley video game designer Rizwan Virk, explains one of the most daring and consequential theories of our time. Drawing from research and concepts from computer science, artificial intelligence, video games, quantum physics, and referencing both speculative fiction and ancient eastern spiritual texts, Virk shows how all of these traditions come together to point to the idea that we may be inside a simulated reality like the Matrix.

Gobiernos y cientos de empresas nos espían: a ti y a todos tus conocidos. Quieren predecir nuestro comportamiento e influir en él. Tienen demasiado poder. Su poder proviene de nosotros, de ti, de tus datos. Recuperar la privacidad es la única manera de que podamos asumir de nuevo el mando de nuestras vidas y de nuestras sociedades. Carissa Véliz explica cómo nuestros datos personales están cediendo demasiado poder a las grandes empresas tecnológicas y a los gobiernos, por qué esto es importante y qué podemos hacer al respecto.

Massimo Temporelli, fisico e divulgatore scientifico, già autore del fortunato podcast Fucking Genius, racconta la nascita e la diffusione di dodici tra le invenzioni di uso quotidiano più rivoluzionarie nella storia dei sapiens. Perché l’uomo è un animale culturale e tecnologico, e quindi, per capire chi siamo e chi saremo, dobbiamo partire dalle macchine che immaginiamo, costruiamo e usiamo.

Eric Goles, Premio Nacional de Ciencias Exactas, será nuestro guía en esta apasionante aventura que nos muestra cómo a partir de una pregunta filosófica, ¿qué es la verdad?, concebimos el computador que hoy nos conduce hasta los desafíos de la inteligencia artificial.

In the course of our enduring quest for knowledge about ourselves and our universe, we haven't found answers to one of our most fundamental questions: Does life exist anywhere else in the universe? Ten years and billions of dollars in the making, the Mars rover Curiosity is poised toanswer this all-important question.

To live in 19th-century Britain was to experience an astonishing series of changes, of a kind for which there was simply no precedent. There were revolutions in transport, communication and work; cities grew vast; and scientific ideas made the intellectual landscape unrecognisable. This was an exhilarating time but also a horrifying one. In his new book, David Cannadine has created a bold, fascinating new interpretation of the British 19th century in all its energy and dynamism, darkness and vice.

From the Siberian permafrost to balmy California, scientists across the globe are working to resurrect all kinds of extinct animals, from ones that just left us to those that have been gone for many thousands of years. Their tools in this hunt are both fossils and cutting-edge genetic technologies. Some of these scientists are driven by sheer curiosity; others view the lost species as a powerful weapon in the fight to preserve rapidly changing ecosystems. It seems certain that these animals will walk the earth again, but what world will that give us? And is any of this a good idea? 

Cyber Wars gives you the dramatic inside stories of some of the world's biggest cyber attacks.

Charles Arthur provides a gripping account of why each hack happened, what techniques were used, what the consequences were and how they could have been prevented. Cyber attacks are some of the most frightening threats currently facing business leaders, and this book provides a deep insight into understanding how they work.

Two defense experts explore the collision of war, politics, and social media, where the most important battles are now only a click away. Through the weaponization of social media, the Internet is changing war and politics, just as war and politics are changing the Internet. Terrorists livestream their attacks, “Twitter wars” produce real world casualties, and viral misinformation alters not just the result of battles, but the very fate of nations. The result is that war, tech, and politics have blurred into a new kind of battlespace that plays out on our smartphones.

If you want to land a job in tech, you need to know how to code. A skill that is equally as important - but often overlooked - is knowing how to market yourself to potential employers, especially if you're new to the industry. Do you know how to land interviews and deliver a compelling case for why you should be hired? Bobby Davis Jr. has helped place hundreds of aspiring coders into high-paying tech jobs. In Breaking the Code, he shares the proven strategies he uses with his students and offers up insider tips that will make you stand out from the competition.

Did you know that coding and programming jobs are one of the most secure and best-paid jobs around the world? According to BSL, the median annual wage for computer programmers was $84,280 in 2018. The field is growing strong and companies are headhunting coders. But even if you don't want to become a professional coder, programming skills increase your salary in other fields such as marketing, finance, and business analysis. Several studies have shown that programming skills added more than $20,000 to the annual salary.

Digital technology definitely shapes us. But once we learn how it does so, we can make good decisions for our ourselves and our children.

Nearly 20 years after the Agile Manifesto was first presented, the legendary Robert C. Martin (“Uncle Bob”) reintroduces Agile values and principles for a new generation - programmers and nonprogrammers alike. Martin, author of Clean Code and other highly influential software development guides, was there at Agile’s founding. Now, in Clean Agile: Back to Basics, he strips away misunderstandings and distractions that over the years have made it harder to use Agile than was originally intended.

Alla fine del 2017 un algoritmo di intelligenza artificiale ha collezionato una serie di vittorie schiaccianti a scacchi scegliendo mosse che la mente umana non è nemmeno in grado di assimilare o utilizzare. Qualche anno più tardi, i ricercatori del Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) hanno annunciato la scoperta di un nuovo antibiotico ottenuto grazie all'aiuto dell'intelligenza artificiale, che era riuscita a individuare proprietà molecolari sfuggite alla concettualizzazione e alla classificazione degli scienziati.
