Superintelligence

Bostrom’s “Superintelligence” is a mind-bending journey into the potential future of artificial intelligence. As I devoured each page, I found myself alternating between awe and unease. Bostrom’s meticulous analysis of the risks and possibilities of AI left me pondering long after I’d finished. It’s not an easy read, but it’s certainly a crucial one for anyone interested in the trajectory of human progress. I’ll admit, some nights I lay awake, mulling over the implications. A must-read, but perhaps not before bedtime!

The Premonition

In “The Premonition,” Michael Lewis uncovers the unsung heroes of America’s pandemic response. With his trademark storytelling prowess, Lewis introduces us to a band of maverick scientists and public health officials who saw the danger coming long before others. Through their eyes, we witness the frustrating battle against bureaucracy and political inertia. It’s a tale of courage, foresight, and the power of individuals to make a difference in the face of overwhelming odds. Lewis’s narrative grips you from the first page, leaving you both inspired and infuriated.
