  The Autonomous Revolution -...

  The bestselling authors of The Virtual Corporation describe how the rise of AI and virtual environments are ushering in an epic cultural transformation.   We are at the dawn of the Autonomous Revolution, a turning point in human history as decisive as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. More and more, AI-based machines are replacing human beings, and online environments are gathering our data and using it to manipulate us. This loss of human autonomy amounts to nothing less than a societal phase change, a fundamental paradigm shift. The same institutions will remain—schools, banks, churches, and corporations—but they will radically change form, obey new rules, and use new tools.   William H. Davidow and Michael S. Malone go deeply into the enormous implications of these developments. They show why increases in productivity no longer translate into increases in the GDP and how zero cost, one-to-many communications have been turned into tools for cybercrime and propaganda. Many of the book’s recommendations—such as using taxes to control irresponsible internet behavior and enabling people to put their data into what are essentially virtual personal information “safety deposit boxes”—are bold and visionary, but we must figure out how we will deal with these emerging challenges now, before the Autonomous Revolution overcomes us.  “Lots of books talk about what’s happening. This book talks about the why behind the what. It will transform your view of the future.”  —Geoffrey Moore, bestselling author of Crossing the Chasm  “A provocative work combining historical inquiry, present-day technology crises, and possible future solutions.”—Library Journal

  Of Ice and Men - How We've Used...

  An exploration of humanity’s relationship with ice since the dawn of civilization, Of Ice and Men reminds us that only by understanding this unique substance can we save the ice on our planet—and perhaps ourselves. 
   
  Ice tells a story. It writes it in rock. It lays it down, snowfall by snowfall at the ends of the earth where we may read it like the rings on a tree. It tells our planet’s geological and climatological tale. 
   
  Ice tells another story too: a story about us. It is a tale packed with swash-buckling adventure and improbable invention, peopled with driven, eccentric, often brilliant characters. It tells how our species has used ice to reshape the world according to our needs and our desires: how we have survived it, harvested it, traded it, bent science to our will to make it—and how in doing so we have created globe-spanning infrastructures that are entirely dependent upon it. 
   
  And even after we have done all that, we take ice so much for granted that we barely notice it. 
   
  Ice has supercharged the modern world. It has allowed us to feed ourselves and cure ourselves in ways unimaginable two hundred years ago. It has enabled the global population to rise from less than 1 billion to nearly 7½ billion—which just happens to cover the same period of time as humanity has harvested, manufactured, and distributed ice on an industrial scale. 
   
  And yet the roots of our fascination with ice and its properties run much deeper than the recent past.

  Edward O. Wilson recalls his lifetime with ants, from his first boyhood encounters in the woods of Alabamato perilous journeys into the Brazilian rainforest.“Ants are the most warlike of all animals, with colony pitted against colony,” writes Edward O. Wilson, one ofthe world’s most beloved scientists. “Their clashes dwarf Waterloo and Gettysburg.” In Tales from the Ant World, twotime Pulitzer Prize winner Wilson takes us on a myrmecological tour to such far-flung destinations as Mozambiqueand New Guinea, the Gulf of Mexico’s Dauphin Island, and even his parent’s overgrown urban backyard, thrillinglyrelating his nine-decade-long scientific obsession with many of the Earth’s more than 15,000 ant species.Animating his scientific observations with illuminating personal stories, Wilson homes in on twenty-five antspecies to explain how these genetically superior creatures talk, smell, and taste, and more significantly, belong tocolonies that fight to determine dominance. Wryly observing that “males are little more than flying sperm missiles” orthat ants send their “old ladies” into battle, Wilson eloquently relays his brushes with fire, army, and leafcutter ants, aswell as more exotic species. Among them are the very rare matabele, Africa’s fiercest warrior ants, whose female hunterscan carry up to fifteen termites in their jaw (and, as Wilson reports from personal experience, have an incrediblypainful stinger); Costa Rica’s Basiceros, the slowest of all ants; and New Caledonia’s bull ants, the most endangered ofthem all, which Wilson discovered in 2011 after over twenty years of presumed extinction.Tales from the Ant World is a fascinating, if not occasionally hair-raising, personal account by one of our greatestscientists and a necessary volume for any lover of the natural world
