  A short, provocative guide to what's good, bad, and stupid about AI and the discourse around AI, by the author of Enshittification. This program is read by the author."[Cory] Doctorow's writing is best when he delivers it, and this book is no exception." — Kirkus on EnshittificationIn modern tech parlance, a centaur is a person who is able to use technology to be a better, more productive version of themself. A reverse centaur is a person who is forced by technology to work at an inhuman pace—a driver made to deliver all day long, nonstop; a warehouse worker made to work without food or bathroom breaks; a programmer made to crank out impossible amounts of code.The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI is not another anti-AI screed. Cory Doctorow uses AI in his work every day. As a creative person, he has no moral or dogmatic issue with AI—he thinks the technology is useful, even exciting, and full of potential. And yet.AI has arrived surrounded by unprecedented hype driven by a tech industry desperate to maintain its unprecedented valuation based on its own promises of endless financial growth. Despite the fact that almost all of AI’s real-world implementations have proved underwhelming, AI is projected to be worth more than $16 trillion—a number that only makes sense if AI replaces vast swathes of the wage-earning human workforce. To justify that level of “value,” every story about AI must be presented as inevitable, world-changing disruption. Even the tales of the robot apocalypse are a calculated attempt to bolster the fearsome power of AI.For Doctorow, it is imperative to see through that hype to the real story, to understand the technology not just for what it does, but for who it does it to and who it does it for. From that point of view, the story of AI is indeed dramatic and unprecedented, having generated an investment bubble so big that it endangers the entire world economy. In The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI—as he so successfully did in Enshittification—Doctorow recounts both how we found ourselves in this dire situation and how we can get through it, to a life “after” AI in which the tools work for us, not the other way around.A Macmillan Audio production from MCD Books

  Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series
   
  
   
  Welcome to a revolutionary approach to language learning! This series helps you master Spanish by intertwining it with compelling topics like Pharmacology. Each book centers on a theme (art, science, history) and presents 100 carefully chosen facts in both English and Spanish.
   
  
   
  How It Works:
   
  - Each fact is first introduced in Spanish, encouraging you to interpret it.
   
  - The following page provides the fact in English and then repeats it in Spanish, aiding comprehension and memorization.
