Do you feel like everyone got the artificial intelligence memo except you? Wanjiku Kamau did too. Six months before recording this audiobook, she was sitting in the Sacramento airport, frantically searching “What is ChatGPT?” while her dog Champ sighed beside her. After twenty years in tech at Siemens, Intel, and Google, she suddenly realized the world had changed around her. Everyone was speaking a new language. And she was still the woman who clung to her BlackBerry until 2013.

Stephen Hawking was supposed to be dead by 23. Diagnosed with ALS at Cambridge and given just two years to live, he lost his voice, his mobility, and nearly every physical function — but never his fire. Instead of fading, he rewrote the universe. From black holes to Big Bangs, radiation to multiverses, Hawking transformed modern physics with a single cheek muscle and a voice made of code. He became the most famous scientist alive — not just for what he survived, but for what he discovered.

A whip-smart, funny, and timely memoir about one worker’s 12 years at Google and her journey from buying in to buying out, and being radicalized in a sea of false promises, fake work, and bad bosses. Hugely clever and uncanny, Don't Be Evil is a biting look back at a surreal era in tech...

Ya desde muy pequeño, Bertrand Russell se caracterizó por su espíritu disquisitivo; no había tema o axioma sobre los que no tuviera una pregunta. Admirador de Euclides desde los once años, las matemáticas se convirtieron en una pasión de por vida. Lector voraz, estudioso y autodidacta, profundizó en la poesía, la filosofía, la historia, la política, la ética, la metafísica, la filosofía matemática, la epistemología y la filosofía de la ciencia, interesándose en las polémicas y los temas que definieron su época: el imperialismo, el libre comercio o el sufragio femenino.

Charles Darwin's foremost biographer, Janet Browne, delivers a vivid and accessible introduction to the book that permanently altered our understanding of what it is to be human. A sensation on its publication in 1859, The Origin of the Species profoundly shocked Victorian readers by calling into question the belief in a Creator with its description of evolution through natural selection. And Darwin's seminal work is nearly as controversial today.

Part hidden history, part love letter to creative innovation, this is the true story of an unlikely friendship between a dancer, Loie Fuller, and a scientist, Marie Curie, brought together by an illuminating discovery. At the turn of the century, Paris was a hotbed of creativity. Technology...

'Dr Saab, we will take up your seeds!' said the intrepid farmer from Jaunti, a village near Delhi. This was the turning point a young undaunted scientist named Monkombu Sambasivan Swaminathan (M.S. Swaminathan) was looking for. It was that giant leap of faith that would help him engineer the...

Charles Darwin didn’t set out to destroy the old story of life. He just couldn’t look away from the cracks in it. From the deck of the Beagle to the hills of the Galápagos, Darwin saw what others missed — tiny details, local variations, uncomfortable truths. His theory of natural selection reshaped biology, shattered theology, and sparked one of the most dangerous ideas in human history: we are not separate from nature… we are subject to it. This is the story of a quiet man who changed the world — not with force, but with focus.

He wasn’t just the man who discovered gravity. He was the man who tried to measure God. Isaac Newton is often remembered as the cold genius who sat under an apple tree and changed the world with a single thought. But the truth is far stranger — and far more human. Heaven’s Codebreaker peels back the myth to reveal the obsessive, secretive, visionary mind behind modern science.

Da lösen sich die Daten in der Cloud einfach in Luft auf, Influencer geben im Netz fatale Techniktipps und verrückt spielende Smart Homes nehmen ihre Bewohner als Geiseln. Derweil werden die Kunden immer frecher, die KI immer schlauer und die Zeiten immer verrückter.

Wikipedia gehört zu den vertrauenswürdigsten und meistgenutzten Websites der Welt und ist aus unserem Alltag kaum noch wegzudenken. Ihr Gründer Jimmy Wales beschreibt in seinem ersten Buch nicht nur die Entstehungsgeschichte der weltgrößten Online-Enzyklopädie, sondern auch die Prinzipien, auf denen die einzigartige Plattform basiert. Diese Prinzipien sind für ihn gleichzeitig Essenz und Antrieb seines gesamten Schaffens. Wales erklärt dabei die alles überragende Rolle von Vertrauen und zeigt, wie man durch die Umsetzung von sieben Vertrauensregeln selbst zu einem Trust-Maker werden kann.

The original title of this text was Recollections of the Development of my Mind and Character. This memoir was intended for Darwin’s family and was written between May and August 1876.

The Man Who Mastered Gravity is an intimate profile of Thomas Townsend Brown, a little-known scientist whose unorthodox ideas about electricity and gravity have made him the subject of decades of speculation and intrigue. Brown developed his novel concepts while serving in the U.S. Navy through the 1930s. In the first months of World War II he was abruptly discharged–despite his expertise in radio, radar, and mine sweeping.

Before he had a driver's license, Ryan Merket was leading a global software cracking group from his Texas bedroom—the only business school he ever attended. Hacker's Edge is the improbable story of how that unconventional education propelled him from the digital underground to the halls of Facebook, Amazon, and Reddit. But this is not a story about stock options and catered lunches. It's an unflinching look at the brutal cost of ambition.

Physics for Rock Stars is not a weighty treatise on science, but a personal tour of physics from a quirky friend. Anyone who's ever wondered why nature abhors a vacuum, what causes magnetic attraction, or how to jump off a moving train or do a perfect stage dive will find answers and a few laughs, too. No equations, numbers, or tricky concepts - just an inspiring and comical romp through the basics of physics and the beauty of the organized universe.

Em julho de 1969, o mundo parou para assistir à primeira pessoa a pisar na superfície de outro corpo celeste que não a Terra. Você já deve ter ouvido a frase que Neil Armstrong disse naquele momento: “É um pequeno passo para um homem, um grande salto para a humanidade.” Discreto e avesso a discussões, Armstrong foi alçado ao estrelato no instante em que deu aquele primeiro passo na Lua. A mítica em torno do homem se expandia conforme o mundo inteiro acompanhava a saga que definiria a nossa história.
