  "Journalist Hayley Campbell explores the often hidden world of those who work closely with death, finding compassion in unexpected settings. Campbell’s British accent and matter-of-fact delivery take the listener on a tour of mortuaries, postmortem experimentation, death-mask artistry, crime-scene cleaning, and executions, among others. Her morbid fascination is evident in her tone as she sheds light on curiosities surrounding a subject that is foreign to many people. Ultimately, Campbell calls for a closer relationship to death, less mystery surrounding this universal passage, and a reduction of fear through greater understanding."- AudioFile on All the Living and the Dead"Campbell is a probing investigator whose tone is always even, quietly emphasizing that death is the most natural thing in the world."- BookpageThis audiobook is read by the author.A deeply compelling exploration of the death industry and the people—morticians, detectives, crime scene cleaners, embalmers, executioners—who work in it and what led them there.We are surrounded by death. It is in our news, our nursery rhymes, our true-crime podcasts. Yet from a young age, we are told that death is something to be feared. How are we supposed to know what we’re so afraid of, when we are never given the chance to look?Fueled by a childhood fascination with death, journalist Hayley Campbell searches for answers in the people who make a living by working with the dead. Along the way, she encounters mass fatality investigators, embalmers, and a former executioner who is responsible for ending sixty-two lives. She meets gravediggers who have already dug their own graves, visits a cryonics facility in Michigan, goes for late-night Chinese with a homicide detective, and questions a man whose job it is to make crime scenes disappear.Through Campbell’s incisive and candid interviews with these people who see death every day, she asks: Why would someone choose this kind of life? Does it change you as a person? And are we missing something vital by letting death remain hidden? A dazzling work of cultural criticism, All the Living and the Dead weaves together reportage with memoir, history, and philosophy, to offer listeners a fascinating look into the psychology of Western death.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

  We are at an exciting threshold for the development and deployment of private space stations and more advanced designs from various countries. This trend shows how quickly space technologies are developing. 
  The advancements in cheaper rockets to carry more payloads into Earth’s orbit in a less costly manner is another trend which is supporting the development of these new space stations and space transportation options. 
  The last few years a lot of companies and governments are making plans to develop and deploy a variety of space stations and moon bases. This seems like to good time to update everyone with what are these latest plans, space technologies, transportation options and more. 
  I’ve tried to include all I could find on new space technologies and plans relevant to working and living in space. 
  I wrote a book on Space in 2017 titled “Designing and Building Space Colonies” along with another ten space related books later on. So this is one of my favorite genres.

  The launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 threw the entire business world into disarray. Not many businesses were prepared for a technological shift that was so sudden and drastic. Moreover, similar to the early days of the World Wide Web, the Artificial Intelligence revolution also comes with a fair share of hype. The overwhelming developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence, coupled with the mushrooming of AI firms, tools, and platforms, are enough to baffle even the most astute marketing managers. As if all these were not enough, radically divergent views from industry stalwarts fuel a raging debate:  
  “AI will continue to get way more capable… People are using it to create amazing things. If we could see what each of us can do 10 or 20 years in the future, it would astonish us today.” 
  Sam Altman, Cofounder and CEO of OpenAI 
  I can't see a path that guarantees safety. We're entering a period of great uncertainty where we're dealing with things we've never dealt with before. And normally, the first time you deal with something totally novel, you get it wrong. 
  Geoffrey Hinton, 'The Godfather of AI'  
  This book is an attempt to evaluate both sides of the view and present a middle path, that of a cautious optimism. Dive into this essential guide to navigate the promises and complexities of AI to ensure you are not just a bystander but a leader in the next technological era. 
  Dr. Deepak Renganathan, a Doctorate in AI and an Advisory Board Certified Chair™, is a seasoned marketing professional with over 22 years of experience across industries such as automobile, luxury real estate, fashion, and 5-star hospitality. Deepak has delivered positive turnarounds for Fortune 500 companies across the Americas, China, EMEA, and APAC regions.

  The Rise of Quantum Computing -...

  Quantum computing is one of the most exciting and transformative areas in modern technology. To understand what quantum computing is, it's important to first grasp the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, the science that underpins it. Classical computers, which most of us are familiar with, process information in binary form, using bits that can be either 0 or 1. However, quantum computing operates on the principles of quantum mechanics, where quantum bits, or qubits, can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously due to a phenomenon called superposition. 
  In classical systems, information is processed in a linear and sequential manner. However, quantum computers harness the power of quantum mechanics to perform calculations in parallel. This is largely due to two key phenomena: superposition and entanglement. Superposition allows qubits to exist in multiple states at once, enabling quantum computers to perform complex computations much faster than classical computers. Entanglement, another quantum phenomenon, allows qubits that are entangled to influence each other, regardless of the distance between them, which further enhances the computational power of quantum systems. 
  The potential for quantum computing to revolutionize industries and fields like cryptography, medicine, and artificial intelligence is immense. For example, quantum algorithms can solve problems in minutes that would take classical computers millennia to complete. This ability to tackle complex problems more efficiently makes quantum computing a game-changer in the quest for faster and more powerful technologies.
