The Experience Machine
A grand new vision of cognitive science that explains how our minds build our worlds
For as long as we've studied the mind, we've believed that information flowing from our senses determines what our mind perceives. But as our understanding has advanced in the last few decades, a hugely powerful new view has flipped this assumption on its head. The brain is not a passive receiver, but an ever-active predictor.
At the forefront of this cognitive revolution is widely acclaimed philosopher and cognitive scientist Andy Clark, who has synthesized his ground-breaking work on the predictive brain to explore its fascinating mechanics and implications. Among the most stunning of these is the realization that experience itself, because it is guided by prior expectation, is a kind of controlled hallucination. We don't passively take in the world around us; instead our mind is constantly making and refining predictions about what we expect to see.
This even applies to our bodies, as the way we experience pain and other states is shaped by our expectations, and this has broader implications for the understanding and treatment of conditions from PTSD to schizophrenia to medically unexplained symptoms. From the most mundane experiences to the most sublime, it is our predictions that sculpt our experience. A landmark study of cognitive science, The Experience Machine lays out the extraordinary explanatory power of the predictive brain for our lives, mental health and society.
Take Me Home Tonight
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off meets Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist in this romp through the city that never sleeps from the New York Times bestselling author of Since You’ve Been Gone.
Two girls. One night. Zero phones.
Kat and Stevie—best friends, theater kids, polar opposites—have snuck away from the suburbs to spend a night in New York City. They have it all planned out. They’ll see a play, eat at the city’s hottest restaurant, and have the best. Night. Ever. What could go wrong?
Well. Kind of a lot?
They’re barely off the train before they’re dealing with destroyed phones, family drama, and unexpected Pomeranians. Over the next few hours, they’ll have to grapple with old flames, terrible theater, and unhelpful cab drivers. But there are also cute boys to kiss, parties to crash, dry cleaning to deliver (don’t ask), and the world’s best museum to explore.
Over the course of a wild night in the city that never sleeps, both Kat and Stevie will get a wake-up call about their friendship, their choices…and finally discover what they really want for their future.
That is, assuming they can make it to Grand Central before the clock strikes midnight.

The Spiritual Path
The author of the international bestseller Shantaram takes us on a gripping personal journey of wonder and insight into science, belief, faith and devotion.
Drawing on sacred traditions, rigorous logic and the six-year instruction of his spiritual teacher, Roberts describes the step-by-step process he followed in search of spiritual connection - a process that anyone, of any belief or none, can benefit from in their own lives. This gripping personal account of the 'Leap Of Faith' is a compellingly fresh addition to such enduring, spiritually inspiring works as Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Road Less Travelled and The Celestine Prophecy.
As Roberts writes, 'The Spiritual Path is a book on spiritual matters that my younger self wanted desperately: one that offers more answers than questions, and helps to reset the spiritual compass.'

Determined to save their love, Romeo and Juliet wed in secret. But when a fight erupts that leaves Montagues and Capulets dead, Romeo is banished from Verona, forcing Juliet to take desperate measures that spell tragedy for the star-crossed lovers.

Bonfire
The Tsar of Russia is furious. He is not mad, Vladimir Putin has his reasons. Reasons few know about.This book gives an exclusive insight into Vladimir Putin's mindset, what he has against the United States and NATO and why is Ukraine that important for Mother Russia. It guides the reader into the shady realm of geopolitical competition; false-flag operations and cruel battles behind the scenes, all wrapped into the fire of Eastern European history.Step by step, the truth is uncovered, and it becomes clear why the Tsar of Russia is furious and what he is capable of doing when cornered. And he is indeed in the corner. Things are not going well in Ukraine and Belarus for Russia, and a new economic crisis is at the door. Written in 2019, this book reads like a prophecy in 2022. Vladimir Putin is on the path of revenge, which may dig two graves. The grave of the West, and the grave of Russia.The sequel of The Fury of the Tsar - Bonfire, The Fury of the Tsar - Vicious Circle is coming in March 2022.“I ignored meetings, calls, and impeachment hearings to devour this book. For any reader who values history, enjoys fiction, and follows East-West power politics, this book is a mesmerizing tour de force. Part intelligence briefing, part cinema verité, it’s a powerful, unnerving ride.” Victor Gaetan (The American Spectator)“A controversial, thought-provoking, insightful, yet entertaining book. A new Tom Clancy is born.” Dario Quintavalle (Limes)The author, Dr. Attila Demkó is a Hungarian security policy expert, writer (under the pen name David Autere), and former defense official and diplomat.

Damsel
Elodie never dreamed of a lavish palace or a handsome prince. Growing up in the famine-stricken realm of Inophe, her deepest wish was to help her people survive each winter. So when a representative from a rich, reclusive kingdom offers her family enough wealth to save Inophe in exchange for her hand in marriage, she accepts without hesitation. Swept away to the glistening kingdom of Aurea, she is quickly enchanted by the beauty of its people - and of its prince.
But as Elodie begins the rituals to become an Aurean princess, the cracks in the kingdom's perfect veneer begin to show.

This ancient arrangement has persisted for centuries, leading hundreds of women to their deaths. But those who came before her did not go quietly. Their blood pulses with power and memory, and a magic that holds the key to her survival. Forced to fight for her life, this damsel must use her wits to defeat a dragon, uncover Aurea's past, and save not only herself, but the future of her kingdom too.

Filterworld
The early promise of a free Internet is long gone. Now, rather than allowing us a meaningful relationship with a range of content of our choosing, algorithms have not only removed genuine choice but de-texturized the world around us: smoothed its edges, planed down friction, and flattened differences. So coffee shops from Brooklyn to Beijing are inflected with a similar, 'Instagrammable' aesthetic. Airbnb rentals are decked out for their swipability factor as much as for their comfort. Spotify builds playlists that echo a category, looping back to music we've already heard before so as not to disrupt the flow. Netflix doesn't just make suggestions based on viewing histories but it actively changes the thumbnails to increase the chances we click on it. As Filterworld masterfully shows, culture itself has become algorithmic: a set of principles, a data rule, a line of code. And we interact with it in ever more passive ways. The result is not isolated echo chambers or a filter bubbles, but an all-encompassing Filterworld of the title. Kyle Chayka deliciously deconstructs this Filterworld: it shows us how technology has led us to this place and its effects on society and the individual, as well as how we might be able to remove the filter to gain liberation.

Prince - Diamonds And Pearls 2LP
Prince Rogers Nelson (7. júna 1958 – 21. apríla 2016), bežne známy pod menom Prince, bol americký spevák, skladateľ, hudobník a hudobný producent. Je držiteľom mnohých ocenení a nominácií a je všeobecne považovaný za jedného z najväčších hudobníkov svojej generácie. Bol známy svojou okázalou, androgýnnou osobnosťou, širokým hlasovým rozsahom a zručnosťou multiinštrumentalistu, ktorý často uprednostňoval hru na všetky, alebo väčšinu nástrojov na svojich nahrávkach. Prince produkoval svoje albumy sám a bol priekopníkom zvuku Minneapolis. Jeho hudba zahŕňala širokú škálu štýlov vrátane funku, R&B, rocku, novej vlny, soulu, synth-popu, popu, jazzu a hip hopu.
Diamonds and Pearls je trinásty štúdiový album, prvý s jeho novou sprievodnou skupinou The New Power Generation. Vyšiel 1. októbra 1991 vo vydavateľstvách Paisley Park Records a Warner Bros. Album vyprodukoval niekoľko úspešných singlov, vrátane „Gett Off“, „Cream“, „Money Don't Matter 2 Night“, „Insatiable“ a titulnej skladby. Tanečnice Lori Werner (vtedy tancovala pod umeleckým menom Lori Elle) a Robia LaMorte, známa ako „Diamond“ a „Pearl“, sa objavili na holografickom obale (pretlače albumu nie sú holografické). Diamond and Pearl sa tiež objavili vo videoklipoch k skladbám „Cream“, „Strollin'“, „Gett Off“ a titulnej skladbe a zúčastnili sa aj Prince's Diamonds and Pearls Tour. Diamonds and Pearls obsahuje hybrid hudobných štýlov, od funku „Daddy Pop“, „Jughead“ a prvého singla „Gett Off“ až po niektoré z bežnejších pop/rockových skladieb, ktoré Prince nahral v určitom čase, ako napr. „Cream“, „Money Don't Matter 2 Night“ a titulná pieseň. "Willing and Able" bol použitý vo videomontáži počas záverečných titulkov spravodajstva CBS o Super Bowl XXVI.

Rumbarumbamm: Ez egy kibaszott karanténnapló
„De hát… de hát te két hónapig csak fingorásztál és káromkodtál!
Ne legyél igazságtalan, mert menstruáltam is, és azt is az emberek orra alá dörgöltem.
De hát… de hát ezt én is meg tudnám csinálni!
Korrekt. Csak miért nem csinálod? Miért nem csinálod azt, amit tudsz, ahelyett, hogy amiatt vagy mérges, amit én tudok?”
De mit is tud valójában Benedek Ágota, aki a furcsa nevű, Rumbarumbammra keresztelt naplójában keresetlen őszinteséggel számol be mindennapjairól? Megnevettet bennünket például. Jólesik bepillantani abszurditásokban bővelkedő életébe, ami éppen azért izgalmas, mert annyira más, mint a sajátunk.
Felszabadít, mert bárkin és bármin élcelődik, ha arról van szó, de önmagát sem kíméli.
Inspirál, mert folyamatosan gondolkodik, reflektál önmagára és a világra. És bár elsőre azt gondolhatjuk, semmi közös nincs bennünk ezzel a karcos humorú, harmincas éveinek
elején járó nővel, végül rájövünk, nagyon is tudjuk, miről beszél.
És alig várjuk a folytatást.
Részlet a könyvből:
„Elmondom a kedvenc viccem.
És Annamarinak is ez a kedvenc vicce. És valahányszor kérlel, hogy meséljem el újra (meg újra), előre a szája elé kapja a kezét, hátha ezúttal nem szabad nevetni. (?)
A nagyanyám, aki egy csodálatos asszony volt, és számos meglévő és jövőbeni tetoválásom ihletője, évekkel ezelőtt felhívott egy verőfényes őszi délutánon, és bús hangon közölte velem, hogy az akkori fiúm, Máté, meghalt.
Hmm.
Ja, köszönni, sosem köszönt, azt felejtsd el. Felveszed és annyi, a csávód meghalt. Ingattam a fejem mosolyogva, hogy: Máté nem halhatott meg.
Máté meghalt.
Ismét. Elmagyaráztam neki. Hogy Máté. Él.
Máté meghalt.
Mondtam neki, hogy annyira él, hogy az imént engedtem ki az ajtón, és Mamikám, nem akarod tudni, hogy miket csináltunk, amiből kiderült, hogy él!
A nagyanyám ekkor elhallgatott, elgondolkozott, és még annak a pillanatát is hallottam, azt a csendet, mikor leesik neki, hogy tényleg hülyeséget mondott, és azzal a lendülettel szólalt meg újra, hogy kijavítsa:
Jaj, Máté él! A mostohaapád halt meg.
Szabad nevetni.”
