Isaac Asimov 4 book box set
The three laws of Robotics: 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm 2) A robot must obey orders givein to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. With this, Asimov changed our perception of robots forever when he formulated the laws governing their behavior. In I, Robot, Asimov chronicles the development of the robot through a series of interlinked stories: from its primitive origins in the present to its ultimate perfection in the not-so-distant future--a future in which humanity itself may be rendered obsolete. Here are stories of robots gone mad, of mind-read robots, and robots with a sense of humor. Of robot politicians, and robots who secretly run the world--all told with the dramatic blend of science fact & science fiction that became Asmiov's trademark.

Můj boj 4: Tanec v temnotách

The Future of Competitive Strategy
How legacy firms can combine their traditional strengths with the power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy for the digital era.
How can legacy firms remain relevant in the digital era? In The Future of Competitive Strategy, strategic management expert Mohan Subramaniam explains how firms can leverage both their traditional strengths and the modern-day power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy. Drawing on the experiences of a range of companies, including Caterpillar, Sleep Number, and Whirlpool, he explains how firms can benefit from data’s enlarged role in modern business, develop digital ecosystems tailored to their unique business needs, and use new frameworks to harness the power of data for competitive advantage.
Subramaniam presents digital ecosystems as a combination of production and consumption ecosystems, which can be used by legacy firms to unlock the value of data at various levels—from improving operational efficiencies to creating new data-driven services and transforming traditional products into digital platforms. He explores the ways sensors and the Internet of Things provide new kinds of customer data; presents the concept of digital competitors—other firms that have access to similar data; discusses the new digital capabilities that firms need to develop; and addresses privacy and security issues associated with data sharing.
Who needs this book? Any firm that wants to revitalize traditional business models, offer a richer customer experience, and expand its competitive arena into new digital ecosystems.
Templars
A gripping account of the Knights Templar, challenging received wisdom to show how these devout medieval knights played a profound role in making modern Britain.
The Knights Templar have an enduring reputation?but not one they would recognize. Originally established in the twelfth century to protect pilgrims, the Order is remembered today for heresy, fanaticism, and even satanism.
In this bold new interpretation, Steve Tibble sets out to correct the record. The Templars, famous for their battles on Christendom’s eastern front, were in fact dedicated peace-mongers at home. They influenced royal strategy and policy, created financial structures, and brokered international peace treaties?primarily to ensure that men, money, and material could be transferred more readily to the east.
Charting the rise of the Order under Henry I through to its violent suppression following the fall of Acre, Tibble argues that these medieval knights were essential to the emergence of an early English state. Revealing the true legacy of the British Templars, he shows how a small group helped shape medieval Britain while simultaneously fighting in the name of the Christian Middle East.
Bezvýznamnosť
Martin je spisovateľ a politológ. Ako spisovateľ nemá o čom písať, pretože nie je o čom písať: všetko bolo napísané, je to priemyselná výroba, robota, inžinierstvo, nie umenie a sloboda. Osud spisovateľa ho ako mladého človeka oslovil ešte v čase komunizmu, kedy spisovateľ mal slovo, váhu a autoritu; v 21. storočí je to zamestnanie ako každé iné, autoritu majú iba najúspešnejší na trhu, nech píšu o čomkoľvek banálnom. Ako politológ Martin padol do pasce rutiny. Jeden banálny podnet jeho milenky ho vyprovokuje a rozhodne sa zapojiť do politiky. Netúžil po tom vždy? Osloví kamarátov v PR agentúrach. Zistí však, že je nikto, že nemá žiadne spoločenské postavenie, že nemá akademické tituly, že nie je úspešný podnikateľ a manažér, nemá peniaze, nepredral sa v spoločnosti. Jeho obraz v spoločnosti je úplne iný, ako sa domnieval. Nakoniec prejde úspešne skúškami a zapája sa do politiky ako poradca. Zisťuje, že politika je vlastne vykonávanie byrokracie, že robí podradnejšie práce, ako robil v doterajšom živote. Dostáva sa do absurdných a bizarných situácií, ktoré sú pre neho ponižujúce. Nakoniec získa dôveru a PR agentúra ho pošle do televíznej debaty. Tam zlyhá a jeho kariéra, meno, obraz sa rozpadne.

In the Lives of Puppets
From New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune, In the Lives of Puppets is a queer retelling of the Pinocchio tale, inviting you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.
New for paperback! This paperback edition includes the poignant short story 'Reduce! Reuse! Recycle!' set in the same extraordinary world.
*A New York Times, Sunday Times and Indie Bestseller*
*Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Science Fiction*
In a small home, built into the branches of a tree, live a human named Victor and three robots. These are a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, a small vacuum desperate for love and attention, and a fatherly inventor-android named Giovanni Lawson. Together they’re a family, hidden and safe.
Then Vic salvages an unfamiliar android labelled ‘HAP’. He learns that Hap and Gio share a dark past, where they hunted humans. And Hap unwittingly gives away Gio’s location. Before they know it, robots from Gio’s former life arrive – to capture and return the android to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams.
The rest of the unconventional family must travel across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommissioning. Or worse, reprogramming. Along the way, Vic must decide if he can handle his feelings for Hap – even if they come with strings attached.
Inspired by Carlo Collodi’s The Adventures of Pinocchio, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful standalone fantasy adventure from the author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.

Nature Is A Human Right
Having access to natural, green spaces is vital to our physical and mental wellbeing. But, as urban development spreads, grey has become the new green.
Already, concrete outweighs every tree, bush and shrub on Earth. Nature deprivation is a fast-growing epidemic, harming the health and happiness of hundreds of millions of people worldwide - especially vulnerable and marginalized groups. To combat this, Nature is a Human Right, founded by Ellen Miles in 2020, is working to make access to green space a recognized right for all, not a privilege.
This book has taken root from the mission and vision of the campaign, bringing together a collection of engaging essays, interviews and exercises, curated by Ellen, from a selection of its expert ambassadors and supporters (including authors, artists, scientists, human rights experts, television presenters, TED speakers, and climate activists). Through each contributor, we discover a new perspective on why contact with nature should be a protected human right, journeying through personal narratives on mental health, disability, racism, environmental inequality, creativity, innovation and activism.
This is a captivating and enlightening collection of original writing and ideas that highlights the importance of nature, the threats of nature deprivation, and the work that needs to be done to make our global future happier, healthier and more equal.

'An extraordinary story - so cadenced and so moving.' -- Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes
'An extraordinary and compelling book of reckonings - a journey across a long, complex and deeply painful arc of history, grippingly told - a wonderful melding of the personal and the political, the family and the historical.' -- Philippe Sands, author of East West Street

Coming Wave
We are approaching a critical threshold in the history of our species. Everything is about to change.
Soon you will live surrounded by AIs. They will organise your life, operate your business, and run core government services. You will live in a world of DNA printers and quantum computers, engineered pathogens and autonomous weapons, robot assistants and abundant energy.
None of us are prepared.
As co-founder of the pioneering AI company DeepMind, part of Google, Mustafa Suleyman has been at the centre of this revolution. The coming decade, he argues, will be defined by this wave of powerful, fast-proliferating new technologies.
In The Coming Wave, Suleyman shows how these forces will create immense prosperity but also threaten the nation-state, the foundation of global order. As our fragile governments sleepwalk into disaster, we face an existential dilemma: unprecedented harms on one side, the threat of overbearing surveillance on the other.
Can we forge a narrow path between catastrophe and dystopia?
This groundbreaking book from the ultimate AI insider establishes “the containment problem”—the task of maintaining control over powerful technologies—as the essential challenge of our age.

Pane, čo mám robiť?
Ako možno živú a osobnú vieru odovzdávať ďalším generáciám? Bude ešte o pár rokov možné povedať o našej spoločnosti, že má kresťanské základy? Nebudú sa naše kostoly postupne vyprázdňovať? Aký bude život našich farností?
Autorka knihy Pane, čo mám robiť? sa pokúša odpovedať na tieto otázky tým, že povzbudzuje kresťanov, aby nielen chodili do kostola, ale aby sa stali naozajstnými uvedomelými Ježišovými učeníkmi. Učeníkmi sú ľudia, ktorí majú osobný vzťah k Bohu, ku Kristovi, ktorého sa rozhodli nasledovať. Sú to ľudia, ktorým záleží na tom, aby aj v ich okolí bolo cítiť autenticky prežívané kresťanstvo, ktorí si všímajú hľadajúcich, čo prichádzajú do kostola, čo chcú pristúpiť k sviatostiam, čo sú hladní po čomsi viac ako ponúka konzumná spoločnosť, čo si kladú otázky a sú zvedaví. Byť Ježišovým učeníkom, nasledovať Ježiša, to je tá cesta od tradičného kresťanstva, od zvykového chodenia do kostola ku kresťanstvu, ktoré je atraktívne, ktoré má vplyv na okolie, ktoré oslovuje hľadajúcich a ponúka im blízkosť a pomoc. Formovanie takýchto učeníkov je našou osobnou úlohou voči sebe i úlohou kňazov, rehoľníkov i laikov angažovaných v pastorácii.
