A Sunday Times Business Book of the Year. Scary Smart will teach you how to navigate the scary and inevitable intrusion of Artificial Intelligence, with an accessible blueprint for creating a harmonious future alongside AI. From Mo Gawdat, the former Chief Business Officer at Google [X] and bestselling author of Solve for Happy. Technology is putting our humanity at risk to an unprecedented degree. This book is not for engineers who write the code or the policy makers who claim they can regulate it. This is a book for you. Because, believe it or not, you are the only one that can fix it. - Mo Gawdat Artificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predict outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI frequently get it so wrong and cause harm? The answer is us: the human beings who write the code and teach AI to mimic our behaviour. Scary Smart explains how to fix the current trajectory now, to make sure that the AI of the future can preserve our species. This book offers a blueprint, pointing the way to what we can do to safeguard ourselves, those we love, and the planet itself. 'No one ever regrets reading anything Mo Gawdat has written.' - Emma Gannon, author of The Multi-Hyphen Method and host of the podcast Ctrl Alt Delete

A bestselling classic mystery about a baby-sitter who is kidnapped along with the three kids she is watching from three-time Edgar Award–winning author Willo Davis Roberts. “A solid adventure with more than a few spine-tingling moments” (Booklist). From the moment she set eyes on the three Foster kids, Darcy knew being their baby-sitter would be no picnic. But the pay was twice her usual rate, and the job was only for a few hours a day—surely an experienced baby-sitter like her could handle it. But Darcy hadn’t counted on the mysterious things that started happening at the Fosters’ home after she took the job. She did everything a good baby-sitter was supposed to do: she didn’t let the stranger claiming to be from the gas company into the house and she called the police when the burglar alarm went off in the middle of the afternoon. But that wasn’t enough to prevent a baby-sitter’s worst nightmare from coming true. Now it’s up to Darcy to rescue the Foster kids—and herself—from three ruthless kidnappers.

His eyes were opened to evil during battle and see his town engulfed with evil. He leads a revival with the local churches that backfire.

Its called the Sacred View of the Virgin Mary, but the locals call it scary view. With a history of death and secrets, it holds up to its name. It is a hospital with sterile white walls with paint peeling and of staph infections. The staff has little regards for human life but puts a large amount on the monetary gains from the dead and living. The town also has its secrets and mysteries of deaths. The remainder of the book tells stories of the hospital and the town, and at the end, is an ominous warning. Its a scary view of the world in which we now live in. We know things are true because they are. My little brother is in a museum in Indiana. He used to watch the ball game with my grandfather.

Babylonia Delilah Jones. P.I., or Baby as her friends call her, has gotten her first big break. Solving the case for the Head of the Lycan House would prove not only she belongs in The Undercity, but deserves a seat at the table with the other paranormal private investigators. But while she’s looking for a perp who obviously won’t hesitate to commit murder, her life is being threatened. That’s not enough to stop Baby though. Neither is interference from Zaid, the hot Vampire who keeps popping up at the most inopportune times. The Lycan Job turns out to be anything but a straightforward case. Baby is learning more about the workings of the Undercity than ever before, and what she’s finding out is pretty ugly. It’s making her question everything she thought and knew about the paranormal Houses, and what she’s missing by not being claimed by her father. But that may well be a question Baby won’t get a chance to ponder, because even tapping into every ability she possess might not be enough to help her survive the Lycan Job.

From bestselling writer David Graeber—“a master of opening up thought and stimulating debate” (Slate)—a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs…and their consequences. Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are hordes of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. “Clever and charismatic” (The New Yorker), Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation and “a thought-provoking examination of our working lives” (Financial Times).
