The Constitution of Liberty -...

F.A. A. Hayek

“One of the great political works of our time . . . The twentieth-century successor to John Stuart Mill’s essay ‘On Liberty.’” —NewsweekConservatives and concerned citizens alike have grown increasingly fearful of big government. Enter Nobel Prize–winning economist and political theorist F. A. Hayek, whose passionate warning against empowering states with greater economic control, The Road to Serfdom, became an overnight sensation.The latest entry in the University of Chicago Press’s series of newly edited editions of Hayek’s works, The Constitution of Liberty is, like Serfdom, just as relevant to our present moment. The book is considered Hayek’s classic statement on the ideals of freedom and liberty, ideals that he believes have guided—and must continue to guide—the growth of Western civilization. Here Hayek defends the principles of a free society, casting a skeptical eye on the growth of the welfare state and examining the challenges to freedom posed by an ever expanding government—as well as its corrosive effect on the creation, preservation, and utilization of knowledge. In opposition to those who call for the state to play a greater role in society, Hayek puts forward a nuanced argument for prudence. Guided by this quality, he elegantly demonstrates that a free market system in a democratic polity—under the rule of law and with strong constitutional protections of individual rights—represents the best chance for the continuing existence of liberty.Striking a balance between skepticism and hope, Hayek’s profound insights are timelier and more welcome than ever before. This definitive edition of The Constitution of Liberty will give a new generation the opportunity to learn from his enduring wisdom.

END OF HISTORY AND THE LAST MAN...

Francis Fukuyama

In The End of History and the Last Man, political scientist Francis Fukuyama presents one of the most provocative theses of the contemporary era: after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union, liberal democracy not only emerged as the dominant political model, but also represents the culmination of humanity’s ideological evolution.
With clear prose and rigorous argumentation, Fukuyama draws on thinkers such as Hegel, Marx, and Nietzsche to develop an ambitious vision: if history is a struggle of ideas, then liberalism has triumphed over its rivals—fascism and communism—on political, economic, and moral grounds. From this perspective, humanity has reached its ultimate form of organization, at least structurally.
However, this claim is neither triumphalist nor naive. Fukuyama acknowledges the challenges that liberal democracies face: nationalism, religion, economic inequality, and especially the threat of the “last man,” a passive, conformist figure concerned solely with personal well-being. The author warns that although liberal ideology has prevailed, the human yearning for recognition, identity, and purpose remains alive. History may have ended, but human dilemmas persist.
This book offers not only a deep historical and philosophical reading but also challenges the reader with fundamental questions: What does it mean to be free? Can a society live without transcendent ideals? Are we condemned to comfort, or are we capable of reinventing our purpose?
Ideal for readers interested in politics, philosophy, contemporary history, and social theory, this work has become a classic of modern political thought. A brilliant, controversial, and deeply relevant text that invites reflection on humanity’s destiny in an age of uncertainty.

Benny the Blue Whale - A Descent...

Andy Stanton

A bestselling author and AI team up to write a novel. Chaos ensues.

AI is changing the world at frightening speed. A bestselling author decides to find out more…

Is ChatGPT the end of creative industries as we know them? An ethical quagmire from which there is no return? A threat to all our jobs, as we keep hearing on the news?

Bestselling children’s author Andy Stanton has made a career out of writing differently – from the unconventional ‘hero’ of his bestselling Mr Gum series to his penchant for absurdist plots, his children’s books are anything but formulaic.

When a friend introduces him to ChatGPT, the new large language chatbot, Andy is as sceptical as he is curious. Can this jumble of algorithms really mimic the spontaneity of human thought? Could it one day replace human authors like him for good? And are we soon to be ruled over by despotic robot overlords.

He decides there’s only one thing for it – he must test this bot’s capabilities. Eventually, he settles on a prompt that will push the algorithm to its creative limits: ‘tell me a story about a blue whale with a tiny penis.’

Chaos ensues.

What follows is a surprising and illuminating battle between Andy and ChatGPT that maybe, just maybe, might help us all understand AI a little bit better. Join Andy and his beleaguered AI lackey on a rollicking metafictional journey through the art of storytelling. Presenting his prompts and the AI-generated narrative alongside extensive commentary, Stanton provides a startling paean to the art of a good story and boundless human creativity. Hopeful and hilarious, Benny the Blue Whale provides a joyfully anarchic meditation on AI, literature and why we write.
