Summer of Our Discontent
In this provocative book, Thomas Chatterton Williams, one of the most revered and reviled social commentators of our time, paints a clear and detailed picture of the ideas and events that have paved the way for the dramatic paradigm shift in social justice that has taken place over the past few years. Taking aim at the ideology of critical race theory, the rise of an oppressive social media, the fall from Obama to Trump, and the twinned crises of COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd, Williams documents the extent to which this transition has altered media, artistic creativity, education, employment, policing, and, most profoundly, the ambient language and culture we use to make sense of our lives.Williams also decries how liberalism - the very foundation of an open and vibrant society - is in existential crisis, under assault from both the right and the left, especially in our predominantly networked, Internet-driven monoculture.Sure to be highly controversial, Summer of Our Discontent is a compelling look at our place in a radically changing world.
Everything and the Kitchen Sink
Everything AND the Kitchen Sink analyses ''kitchen sink realism'' and the birth of ''pop cinema'' in the context of contemporaneous debates surrounding politics, civil liberties, sexuality, race, immigration and urbanisation. Covering the lives and careers of well-known figures such as Alan Sillitoe, Shelagh Delaney, David Storey, Edna O''Brien and Albert Finney, as well as charting the rise of iconic British series like Coronation Street and Z-Cars, Simon Matthews offers a fascinating blend of social history, pop culture, drama and cinema. Matthews also interviews contemporary figures - including Ken Loach - about the kitchen sink era and how it inspired their work.
Supremacy
Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award
The astonishing story of the people fighting to control the future of generative artificial intelligence - and, therefore, the future of humanity. From award-winning journalist Parmy Olson.
Two titans of Silicon Valley, Microsoft and Google, rushed to embrace artificial intelligence. Microsoft entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT. Google acquired DeepMind. Together, they now had the resources of the two leading AI companies in the world - and, with it, the potential for unlimited riches.
But what is the cost of this arms race?
Who will win out between Demis Hassabis (Google DeepMind) and Sam Altman (Open AI)?
And, as we outsource ever more to this technology, what will be left for humans to do?
Featuring a cast of larger-than-life characters, from Elon Musk and Peter Thiel to Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin, Supremacy is a story of ambition, exploitation and secrecy, as gripping as any thriller.
With exclusive access to sources at the top of the industry, Supremacy is your essential guide to the history - and the future - of the greatest invention of our time.
Write Through It
Discover what every new and aspiring author needs to know about the publishing industry and how to navigate all the complicated feelings that come with writing a book in this no-nonsense guide from literary agent, author, and creator of the popular newsletter Agents & Books Kate McKean.
Writers all want the secret to getting published: the magic formula for a query letter, the list of agents who will instantly say yes, and the perfect marketing campaign to hit "The List." But writing is about so much more than the intellectual act of putting pen to paper-writers also deserve reassurance that the emotional highs and lows of writing is a normal, valid part of the process. And it might seem easier to focus on the nuts and bolts of writing books-word counts, query letters, and author platforms-than the messy feelings that accompany writing like doubt, fear, and hope, but the two things are inextricably linked.
Write Through It is a candid, actionable guide to navigating the rollercoaster ride of writing and publishing, both on and off the page. Literary agent and author Kate McKean has been educating authors and demystifying publishing for years in her popular newsletter Agents & Books, and now, in these pages, she walks writers of all genres through every stage of the writing and publishing process and its accompanying emotional moments. From the uncertainty of knowing when you should stop fiddling with your book and start pitching to agents to how to deal with the sting of rejection and the elation (and fear) of getting a book deal, Write Through It covers it all.
Drawing from her own extensive experience, McKean goes beyond the practicalities of writing and publishing to address the less-talked-about emotional side of the journey. This book is a must-read for any writer looking to understand the full spectrum of the writing life.
The Anti-Catastrophe League
A superbly written work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent, The Anti-Catastrophe League is a brilliant study of the people and their teams who are trying to save the world.
Our species has a unique genius for self-imperilment. The ancient dangers – asteroids, super-volcanoes and worse – still stalk us, but the most pressing time-bombs are of our own making. Our knack for self-imperilment, though, is one side of a coin: for we are also developing a knack for ambitious solutions.
The Anti-Catastrophe League, informed by the author’s experience of working in the field of what is known as existential risk, tells the story of a species that is working out how to defuse several bombs at once. From ancient risks to very modern apocalypses, the book charts the imminent dangers to the human race and introduces readers to the groups of scientists, eccentrics, diplomats and visionaries who are doing everything in their considerable power to prevent the worst from befalling us. On the way we meet AI mind readers, an economist from ALLFED (the Alliance to Feed Earth in Disasters), a physicist trying to evade death, a physicist who, having lost his best friend to a hospital superbug, invented a lightbulb that kills germs in mid-air, and the man tasked with tracking down and rounding up all of the USSR’s biological and nuclear weapons – amongst many, many others.
An imperious work of narrative non-fiction by an exciting new talent – and with echoes of Jon Ronson, Dan Schreiber and The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman – The Anti-Catastrophe League is a fascinating story of the end of the world – and what we can do about it.
Tudomány és áltudomány
Kire bízzuk az egészségünket: orvosra, természetgyógyászra vagy egy auragyógyító sámánra? Hogyan fektessük be a pénzünket? Vásároljunk-e víztisztító rendszert, és ha igen, melyiket válasszuk? Ezekben a mindennapi helyzetekben döntéseinket gyakran a tudománnyal és az áltudománnyal kapcsolatos rejtett előfeltevéseink alapján hozzuk meg, ezért nem árt tisztában lennünk azzal, hogyan különíthetjük el a kettőt egymástól. Ez a kérdés ráadásul az utóbbi évtizedben friss lendületet kapott számos aggodalomra okot adó mozgalom térnyerése miatt. Jelen kötet az áltudományok meghatározására tett kísérleteket mutatja be, valamint azt is vizsgálja, hogyan befolyásolják az értékek az tudomány megítélését.
A Kaleidoszkóp Könyvek ismeretterjesztő sorozat kötetei a magyar tudományos kutatás legfrissebb és legizgalmasabb eredményeibe nyújtanak betekintést.

This book is a captivating exploration of the profound impact of American copyright law on our online lives.

A szexuális forradalom kritikája
A szexuális forradalom szabadságot, egyenlőséget és örömöt ígért: hogy mit kaptunk cserébe, arról "nem szabad" őszintén beszélni, pedig valójában szemmel látható - Louise Perry ebben a kötetben bravúros ellenpontozásokkal és gondosan válogatott forrásanyaggal, tabuk nélkül közelít a témához. Azokról a paradoxonokról ír, amelyeket nem látunk, vagy nem vagyunk hajlandóak tudomásul venni. Egyre több pornót nézünk - egyre kevesebb szexuális aktivitást mutatunk. Úgy üdvözöljük a szexualitás varázstalanítását, hogy magunk sem vagyunk meggyőződve róla. Az erőszakos szex romantizálódik, ez pedig teret ad annak, hogy a visszaélések büntetlenül maradjanak. Szentesítjük a beleegyezés aktusát, de nem határozzuk meg annak kereteit. Perry könyve nemcsak a szexuális forradalom örökségét kérdőjelezi meg, hanem segít megérteni a feminizmuson belüli ellentmondásokat is. Egyszerű, világos érvelése nem illeszkedik egyetlen politikai tábor logikájába sem - épp ezért képes valódi kérdéseket feltenni. Olyanokat, amelyeket gyakran a saját meggyőződéseinktől nem látunk.

The Genius Myth
The tortured poet. The rebellious scientist. The monstrous artist. The tech disruptor.
You can tell what a society values by who it labels as a genius. You can also tell who it excludes, who it enables, and what it is prepared to tolerate.
Taking us from the Renaissance Florence of Leonardo da Vinci to the Floridian rocket launches of Elon Musk's SpaceX, Helen Lewis unravels a word that we all use - without really questioning what it means.
Along the way, she uncovers the secret of the Beatles' success, asks how biographers should solve the Austen Problem, and reveals why Stephen Hawking thought IQ tests were for losers (before taking one herself). And she asks if the modern idea of genius - a class of special people - is distorting our view of the world.
Roll to Hit: An Unofficial History of Dungeons and Dragons
Roll to Hit: An Unofficial History of Dungeons and Dragons is a deep dive into the story behind the world's most popular tabletop roleplaying game. From its humble beginnings in a basement in a house in a small town in Wisconsin, through the Satanic Panic and the boom and bust of the 90s, all the way to a modern resurgence that has seen the game become a true pop-culture phenomenon, the book tells the tale of the people who have shaped D&D through every step of its development. But more than that, it's a story of leaps of imagination, of shocking circumstances and tragedies, of conflicts and comings-together both on the table and off. From HG Wells playing with toy soldiers to multi-million dollar movie deals, from early war simulations to crazy homebrew campaigns, the book explores the history of D&D and asks why, even after all this time, its name remains a shorthand for the tabletop roleplaying experience. As Dungeons & Dragons reaches its fiftieth birthday, and with the game is as popular as it's ever been, regular players, old school gamers and newcomers are going to find something here to excite and entice. After all, without them, without the players, there'd be no Dungeons & Dragons at all.
Strangeland
From Jon Sopel, bestselling author and presenter of hit podcast The News Agents, comes an incisive examination of post-Brexit Britain and what it means for our future.''I like and trust Jon Sopel and you should too''JOE LYCETT''A thrilling, nerve-wracking book. You couldn''t make the last ten years up; thanks to Jon Sopel, you don''t have to''PETER FRANKOPAN''A hugely entertaining and quite traumatic rollercoaster''ARMANDO IANNUCCI''Acute and unflinching - Sopel deploys his foreign correspondent skills on home shores as well as far ones, and brings together the story of a tumultuous few years on both sides of the Atlantic''MISHAL HUSAINReturning to the UK in some ways has been disconcerting – or maybe discombobulating would be a better word. It is, after all, my home; it is where I grew up, a country I love and am proud of. But either it’s changed, or I have. Maybe both.It just feels like a strange land. At the beginning of 2022, after eight years of political reporting in the US, Jon Sopel returned home to the UK – and having spent almost a third of his career abroad, he found a very different place to the one he left. In Strangeland, his first book since launching the global hit podcast The News Agents, he asks: What is the Britain he’s come home to?In the US, Jon was the outsider looking in, firm in the belief that the common language of English masked our fundamental differences; in terms of values and beliefs, it seemed the British had much more in common with our European neighbours.Strangeland is Jon’s account of how much that has changed. The US was a country he thought he knew well but didn’t really; returning home has been in some ways even more disconcerting – either Britain, the country he grew up in, has changed dramatically, or he has. Perhaps it’s both.A trenchant analysis of politics, people, and everything in between, Strangeland is an unforgettable portrait of a country gone through the looking glass.
The AI Con
Is AI going to take over the world? Have scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to replace all our jobs? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at everything?
The answers to these questions, as the expert authors of The AI Con make clear, are 'no', 'they wish', 'LOL', and 'definitely not'. In fact, these fears are all symptoms of the hype being used by tech corporations to justify data theft, motivate surveillance capitalism, and devalue human creativity.
Packed with real-world examples, pithy arguments and expert insights, The AI Con arms you to spot AI hype in all its guises, expose the exploitation and power-grabs it aims to hide, and push back against it at work and in your daily life.

Hledání veřejné služby
Kniha Hledání veřejné služby si neklade za cíl najít jedinou platnou správnou definici veřejné služby. To ani není možné. Není možné, jak si někteří, a bohužel i ti, kteří rozhodují o zákonném rámci veřejné služby, myslí, stručnou definicí říct, co to je. Co ještě veřejná služba je a co už není. Veřejná služba je živoucí organismus, který musí reagovat na technologický a společenský vývoj. Otázkou je, zda vedle veřejných statků a veřejných služeb potřebujeme zachovat ještě v dnešní době, ovlivněné sociálními sítěmi, i veřejný prostor a veřejnou komunikaci, dialog veřejnosti. Forum Romanum. Očekávání různých generací byla, jsou a vždy budou odlišná.
Kniha objasňuje klíčové pojmy, polemizuje s různými názory, a zároveň shromažďuje dostupné české i evropské regulační normy, směrnice a obsahová doporučení, česká i evropská soudní rozhodnutí a různé průzkumy, které se médii a jejich rolí ve společnosti zabývají, včetně empirických údajů, grafů a schémat. Více než 850 stran textu (částečně ve formě odkazu na QR kód) a bohatý poznámkový materiál s více než 1700 odkazy na zdroje umožňuje velmi podrobné zkoumání tématu nejen studentům a pedagogům společenských věd, ale i mediálním profesionálům, právníkům, soudcům i zákonodárcům.
Čtenář má mít možnost udělat si sám závěr o tom, čím by měla média veřejné služby být, čím chtějí být a čím jsou.
