  The howl of the bedside clock-radio carves through your dreams like a buzz-saw through butter, and you are awake. In another place. 
  Never mind the bright yellow sunlight that flecks your pillow and warms your face; you are rudely awake, and resent it. Gah! 
  You roll onto your side, cantilever your legs over the side of the bed and plant your feet squarely on the carpet. You rub your face. Massage your neck. Oh, what it is to be alive!--and conscious--oh oh oh, indeed. 
  But what is it to be alive, and conscious? 
  Alive, we have some inkling of; you eat, you sleep, you exercise. You stay healthy and keep your body going as best you can. But conscious? What even is that? 
  A good question is what that is, and a question for which this book has an answer. 
  So in this text, first I set the scene:Did our consciousness evolve?Does consciousness give us free will?Which animals do we think are conscious?Where does consciousness go when we sleep?How does consciousness deliver meaning?What might a theory of consciousness look like? 
  Then I propose:A model for consciousness at the macro scaleA mechanism for consciousness at the micro scale 
  Finally, I suggest some real world tests that science will one day be able to perform which will either corroborate or invalidate the theory I present here. This is a workable, testable theory. Science and philosophy demand nothing less. 
  A must-listen for the curious-minded, which you are, are you not? So listen on...

  The dangerous decline in vaccinations in many developed countries is at the heart of a lively debate that confirms how important the subject is today. Vaccinations are among mankind’s most important scientific discoveries, yet they continue to be viewed with suspicion by part of the public—the victims of disinformation campaigns, instrumentalization, and unfounded fears. There is, however, also an evolutionary explanation for these irrational beliefs, and countering the growing social opposition will be extremely difficult without grasping it. 
  This audiobook, which sheds new light on the safety and importance of vaccinations, is intended both for parents and those listeners who want to understand the role of vaccinations in contemporary society, where the ease of access to knowledge is both a great opportunity and a great responsibility. The chapters follow a historical progression and conclude with a discussion of the most recent cognitive theories on how to overcome this opposition to vaccinations.

  Your buddy is planning a trip to England; his salary is likewise in rubles, and the national currency in England is the pound sterling. 
    
  What will your pal do?  
    
  Of course, he'll go to a currency exchange to convert his hard-earned rubles into British pounds. 
    
  Your mum planned to go to Norway to see a friend. What is the current Norwegian currency? The Norwegian Krone Mom's pension is in Russian rubles...  
  Mom's behavior is predictable: she will travel to an exchange office to exchange her hard-earned rubles for Norwegian krone.  
  However, there was no crown at this exchange office since they did not deliver for some reason.  
  Then your mother was offered to purchase American cash - dollars rather than Norwegian kroner. Mom is perplexed: "I have bucks, but I don't want to travel to America for the promenade, but to my buddy in Norway!" And they explain to her: It's nothing - you'll exchange your dollars for Norwegian krone at the exchange office in Norway and enjoy life much more... 
    
  And, although your uncle did not travel anywhere he did not plan to, he has additional money.  
  So, my uncle predicted that the Swiss franc would rise against the ruble, so he went to the exchange office and simply exchanged Swiss francs for rubles, hoping that the rate would rise and his ruble savings would rise as well. Uncle, in other words, opted to speculate on the currency differential.

  We’ve heard it all before: AI will upend industries, kill jobs and remake everything from healthcare to art. But between the hype and the hand-wringing lies a simpler, more pressing question: Is AI actually useful? And if so, useful for what, and for whom? 
  In How to Make AI Useful, MIT researcher Dr Bryan Reimer and Swedish futurologist Magnus Lindkvist cut through the noise. Blending decades of research, trendspotting and hands-on experience, they chart AI’s journey from dazzling gimmick to disruptive force—and now to indispensable tool. 
  This isn’t another book about robot overlords or utopian tech dreams. Instead, it’s a rough guide to AI’s messy middle—the phase where machines meet human complexity. From automating the tedious to amplifying creativity, Reimer and Lindkvist show how to harness AI’s potential for real progress, long after today’s bubble bursts.
