  The metaverse. That term elicits a wide range of ideas and opinions. For many, it represents the next evolutionary phase of the internet—a fully immersive, digital universe where people can interact, work, and play in virtual environments. For others, it's yet another overhyped technology. So what is it, exactly? And what will its impact be? 
   
   
   
  While speculation and predictions about the metaverse are varied, one thing is clear: it is impacting the world of business as well as people's lives, and it will continue to do so in the future. The global metaverse market is predicted to be worth about $1 trillion by 2030, with over two billion users participating in some form of immersive experience. 
   
   
   
  There's a reason why companies are investing heavily in spatial computing and why platforms like Roblox are thriving. The metaverse, along with the technologies that underpin it, is still evolving, but it will eventually offer more ways for people to experience the world and each other. 
   
   
   
  In Welcome to the Metaverse, David Shrier, a world-leading futurist and the author of Welcome to AI, offers an entertaining look at the potential uses and impacts of this virtual space on business and life.

  Artificial Intelligence Secrets...

  What if artificial intelligence stopped feeling like a black box you're simply supposed to trust?
   
  You're told AI will reshape your career, yet nobody hands you a clear picture of how it actually works or what it means for you. So you nod along in meetings, half-guessing, quietly hoping the technology doesn't leave you behind.
   
  That not-quite-knowing wears on you. It's hard to make confident choices about your skills or your next move when the force driving all the change stays a mystery.
   
  This two-in-one collection carries you from the fundamentals to the real-world impact, with no technical background required. Here, at last, is artificial intelligence explained in plain language. In this audiobook, you'll discover:
  
  The three types of AI - what narrow, general, and super intelligence really mean once you strip away the buzzwords.
  How machines actually learn - why an everyday spam filter reveals the whole logic behind machine learning.
  The main training methods - supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised learning, plus classification, regression, and adversarial training.
  How deep learning works - the neural networks that power it, and why there are so many different kinds.
  The tools behind the tech - the programming languages, bots, and platforms like TensorFlow that make AI run.
  Where AI already lives in your day - from email and social media to maps and smart personal assistants.
  How major companies deploy it - the way AI reshapes marketing, finance, and customer service.
  What stays uniquely human - the skills to double down on as the machines advance.
  
   
  You'll learn from clear, grounded explanations, including insight from computer scientist Melanie Mitchell, creator of the analogy-making program Copycat.
   
  You don't need a degree or a background in coding to follow a word of it. Understand how the technology works, and it stops being something that happens to you and becomes something you can use.

  Frostlines - A Journey Through...

  SILVER WINNER OF THE 2026 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS 
  Recommended Read from Yale Climate Connections 
  “[Frostlines weaves] together natural history, indigenous perspective, and environmental transformation in the Arctic. The book helps bring a human story to the science of climate change.”—Parade 
  A sweeping exploration of the Arctic—and how it’s being transformed by climate change—from National Geographic writer Neil Shea 
  As warming reshapes our planet, the Arctic—a region that once seemed unchangeable, beyond the reach of modern problems—is quickly coming undone. While the old cold world can still be glimpsed in the movements of caribou, the hidden lives of wolves, and the hunting skill of an Iñupiaq elder, look closer and you’ll find a new Arctic appearing in its place. 
  In Frostlines, Neil Shea blends natural history, anthropology, and travel writing to explore how the beauty, chaos, and power of change in the far north are reflected in the lives of people and animals. He sojourns with a wolf pack on Canada’s Ellesmere Island and travels with Indigenous hunters in Alaska, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. He tracks dwindling caribou herds across the top of North America, searches for vanished Vikings in Greenland, and visits the front line of the new Cold War rising between Russia and Europe. What Shea finds is not one Arctic but many—all still linked by shattering cold, seasons of darkness, and a pure, inimitable light. 
  Frostlines illuminates: 
    
  How Greenland’s history has led to Trump’s interest in [or obsession with] the country todayHow Russia is using the Arctic as a testing ground for geopolitical confrontationsWhy oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will further threaten Indigenous people and animalsWhy increased ship traffic in the Northwest Passage has profound consequences for the Inuit and global politics  
  Written with masterful prose and a spark of adventure, Frostlines is an expansive yet intimate revelation of the Arctic during a time of transformation, and a journey along the threshold of a stunning and sometimes frightening world that’s emerging right before our eyes.
