  More Human - How the Power of AI...

  AI has the potential to transform leadership and the human experience of work—or to lead us into an automated and uninspiring work reality. Which one will it be? 
   
   
   
  Humans have always been good at inventing tools that change the way we live and work—though not always good at adapting to those changes. Consider how the internet has given us instant access to gigabytes of data and yet has made us more distracted. Or how social media has enabled us to be more connected than ever, and yet it can also alienate or isolate us. Will the power of AI create a new era of robotic, impersonal efficiency, or will it catalyze a renaissance, redefining leadership and the world of work? 
   
   
   
  So far, that question has mostly prompted a wave of anxiety about the disappearance of jobs and the loss of humanness in our work lives. But as Rasmus Hougaard and Jacqueline Carter show in this essential book, that's a very limited perspective on the impact of AI, leaving out a crucial point: AI has the power to transform leadership for the better—the key is in how leaders use it. 
   
   
   
  With deep insight and rigorous research, More Human will help leaders navigate our AI-enabled future.

  How Algorithms Secretly Run Your...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Reveal the invisible algorithmic systems making crucial decisions about your life without your knowledge, input, or ability to appeal their judgments. This essential audiobook exposes how automated decision-making determines what information you see, what opportunities you receive, what prices you pay, and how institutions treat you based on calculations you never see. Learn how credit algorithms, hiring software, insurance models, and content recommendation systems shape your life trajectory more than personal choices while remaining completely opaque. The narrator reveals the biases embedded in algorithmic systems that perpetuate discrimination while appearing objective and the accountability voids that prevent challenging automated decisions affecting your life. Discover how tech companies optimize engagement algorithms knowing they promote misinformation, outrage, and addiction while presenting themselves as neutral platforms. Understand why algorithmic transparency remains impossible to achieve given corporate secrecy, technical complexity, and regulatory failure that leaves citizens subject to systems they cannot examine. This audiobook draws from computer scientists, investigative journalists, and algorithm researchers documenting hidden systems that govern modern life. Learn strategies for recognizing algorithmic influence, minimizing harmful exposure, and advocating for accountability in automated decision-making. Essential listening for anyone living in the digital age who wants to understand the invisible forces shaping their reality and what limited options exist for reclaiming agency from automated systems.

  Ransom War - How Cyber Crime...

  This timely book explores the alarming rise of ransomware: malicious software blocking users from their systems or data until they've paid money to regain access or to prevent the release of sensitive information. High-profile British examples of the twenty-first century have targeted national libraries and healthcare organizations; in the US, hackers of Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley Health Network held patient data hostage—when their demands went unmet, they published topless photographs of women with breast cancer. 
   
   
   
  The issue presents formidable challenges and costs for businesses, national security and, as the Pennsylvania case showed, individuals—often society's most vulnerable. But we can watch and learn from cyber extortionists, leaving us better prepared for next time. In 2022, a series of devastating ransomware attacks prompted Costa Rica's president to declare a national emergency, describing a "state of war." This episode had much to tell us about how these networks arise, operate, organize—and collapse. 
   
   
   
  Max Smeets's landmark study demystifies the ransomware playbook, from funding to networking. Through one of the largest ransomware operations on record, he reveals how this challenge has evolved, how it differs in substance and style from traditional cyber/hacking threats, and how to combat it.

  Bad Nature - How Rat Control...

  Andrew McCumber

  Offers insights into the social and cultural implications of humans’ relationships with rats and the natural world. Apart from the occasional pet owner who has rats, most people regard rats as disease-carrying nocturnal pests, scurrying around dumpsters and dragging slices of pizza through New York City subways. Since rats are seemingly omnipresent in human life, why do we harbor such negative feelings about them, and why are they among the creatures most frequently targeted for systematic extermination?In Bad Nature, sociologist Andrew McCumber draws out the cultural underpinnings of rat extermination across three countries and two continents. Drawing from ethnographic, interview, and textual data from the frigid prairie of Alberta, Canada; the heart of downtown Los Angeles, California; and the iconic Galápagos Islands of Ecuador, McCumber studies how humans have sought to suppress and exterminate rat populations in a variety of environmental, social, and political situations. He shows how, in these disparate locations, rat control is a social practice that draws and clarifies the spatial and symbolic boundaries between “good” and “bad” forms of nature. Rats are near the bottom of a symbolic hierarchy of species that places human life at the top, companion animals and majestic wildlife just below them, and the “invasive species” that call for systematic extermination at the very bottom. This hierarchy of living things that places rats at the bottom, McCumber argues, mirrors human systems of social inequalities and power dynamics.  Both original and engaging, Bad Nature urges readers to consider, when charting a just and sustainable future, where will the rats be placed in the worlds we envision?
