'[An] essential read' Emma Saunders, BBC Culture Reporter
Knowing how to speak to AI - and how not to - is a skill that everyone now needs.
Hundreds of millions of people now talk to AI, such as ChatGPT, every day. They organise their finances and holidays, ask advice, seek therapy and find love - via machines. Almost overnight, chatbots are transforming society, politics and business. This is one of the biggest and fastest technological changes in history.
However, most people still don't really understand how AI works, how to make the most of it - or what the dangers are. As some people use it to turbo-charge their productivity at work, others are falling into dangerous conspiracies, delusions and psychosis.
In How to Talk to AI, award-winning technology writer Jamie Bartlett takes you inside the machine: showing how we can stay in control of our powerful new companions, even as they are changing the way we live, feel, and think.
Written in his accessible style, How to Talk to AI is the essential and empowering guide to help you understand how to make the most of these incredible new technologies, without succumbing to new powers of manipulation and control.

As eerie occurrences unfurl, Libby, the youngest, is drawn to a grotesque mermaid carving hidden in their house. Strange sightings of a mysterious woman outside only deepen Ellie's unease. And when their dog Jasper goes missing, the family's descent into darkness accelerates. As more ominous tales and truths rise to the surface, it becomes clear that the mermaid's curse might be real. Ellie’s family is fast becoming entangled in a web of betrayal and vengeance, which threatens to drown them all… This spine-tingling novel is a suspenseful twist on Hans Christian Andersen’s dark tale The Little Mermaid, where love, loss, and the lure of the water collide in a terrifying crescendo.

Run Forever
‘We don’t stop running because we get old. We get old because we stop running.’ Is it inevitable that our running performance slides as we get into our forties and beyond? Or are there things we can do to slow or even pause the decline, master our midlife and use experience as a superpower and become an ageless ace? In Run Forever, record-breaking GB ultrarunner Damian Hall, fifty, examines the reasons why our strength and speed might deteriorate, yet how it isn’t certain if we choose to do something about it. In running, like other sports, there have been phenomenal performances from masters athletes, and while ageing is unavoidable, how we age isn’t. Becoming an ageless ace has potentially extraordinary healthspan and longevity benefits away from running. Featuring chapters on speed, strength, mindset, sleep and nutrition, Hall draws on the knowledge of experts and shares the stories of other runners – including five-time Olympian and European 10,000 metres champion Jo Pavey, and record-breaking ultrarunner Nicky Spinks – to provide advice for how we can keep running strong and enjoying it for as long as possible. World-renowned sports dietitian, author and ultrarunner Renee McGregor explains how ageing affects female runners, especially around perimenopause and menopause, and leading strength and conditioning coach Pete Stables provides knowledge and exercises for the masters athlete. Ageing is inevitable. Slowing down is optional. Run Forever gives you the tools to keep moving – stronger, smarter, longer.

Ako zniesť zo sveta upíra
Napínavý triler z deväťdesiatych rokov, plný záhad a južanského šarmu, v ktorom sa realita prelína s nadprirodzenom.
Patricia Campbellová mala pred sebou sľubnú budúcnosť, no odkedy sa vzdala kariéry zdravotnej sestry a stala sa matkou, život sa jej nikdy nezdal fádnejší. Dni sú dlhé, deti sú nevďačné, manžel je odmeraný a zoznam povinností nekonečný. Jej jedinou oázou šťastia je čitateľský klub, ktorý tvoria ženy zdieľajúce rovnakú vášeň pre skutočné zločiny a napínavé romány. Na svojich stretnutiach pritom diskutujú skôr o federálnom obliehaní vo Waco, než o manželských krízach a materstve.
Jedného dňa sa do susedstva prisťahuje príťažlivý a umelecky nadaný James Harris, ktorý zaujme členky knižného klubu – a okúzli aj samotnú Patriciu. Prežíva pri ňom veci, ktoré už roky nezažila, no je na ňom čosi zvláštne. Keď začnú miznúť miestne deti a polícia je bezradná, Patricia nadobudne znepokojivé podozrenie. Pustí sa do vyšetrovania na vlastnú päsť, presvedčená, že ide o ďalšieho Jeffreyho Dahmera či Teda Bundyho. Lenže to, čo odhalí, je oveľa desivejšie. Čoskoro sa ukáže, že ona a jej priateľky z knižného klubu sú jedinou prekážkou medzi nič netušiacou komunitou, a monštrom, ktoré vpustili do svojich domovov.
