  What is life? For generations, scientists have struggled to make sense of this fundamental question, for life really does look like magic: even a humble bacterium accomplishes things so dazzling that no human engineer can match it. Huge advances in molecular biology over the past few decades have served only to deepen the mystery. 
   
   
   
  In this penetrating and wide-ranging book, world-renowned physicist and science communicator Paul Davies searches for answers in a field so new and fast-moving that it lacks a name; it is a domain where biology, computing, logic, chemistry, quantum physics, and nanotechnology intersect. At the heart of these diverse fields, Davies explains, is the concept of information: a quantity which has the power to unify biology with physics, transform technology and medicine, and force us to fundamentally reconsider what it means to be alive—even illuminating the age-old question of whether we are alone in the universe. 
   
   
   
  The Demon in the Machine journeys across an astounding landscape of cutting-edge science. Weaving together cancer and consciousness, two-headed worms and bird navigation, Davies reveals how biological organisms garner and process information to conjure order out of chaos, opening a window onto the secret of life itself.

  Nature versus nurture has shaped centuries of debate—but what if the answer is neither, and both? 
  In Human Agency: 75% DNA, 25% Free Will, scientist and biotechnologist Muren Herrid, PhD, revisits the classic question of whether our lives are determined by genetics (nature) or environment and experience (nurture)—and argues that modern science demands a more nuanced answer. 
  Drawing on research in genetics, epigenetics, evolution, and biotechnology, this book examines how DNA powerfully shapes intelligence, behaviour, and physical traits, while also showing how environment, experience, and mental state can influence how genes are expressed—sometimes across generations. 
  Blending rigorous science with real-world examples and personal reflections, Human Agency explores:Why genetics explains more about human differences than we often admitHow epigenetics blurs the line between nature and nurtureWhether mental state and conscious behaviour can influence biologyWhat evolution looks like in the age of AI, gene editing, and NeuralinkHow humanity may actively participate in its own future evolution 
  Written for curious readers, science enthusiasts, policymakers, and professionals, this book challenges simplistic answers to the nature-versus-nurture debate and replaces them with a biologically grounded, evidence-based framework. 
  If you’ve ever asked whether your destiny is written in your DNA—or whether free will still matters—Human Agency offers a compelling scientific perspective on who we are, and how much choice we truly have.

  In Step into the Metaverse, Dr. Mark van Rijmenam delivers a startlingly insightful discussion about how the world as we know it will fundamentally change as the physical and the digital worlds merge into the metaverse, impacting the everyday experiences of people, companies, and societies. The author maps out the extraordinary opportunities and challenges facing business leaders, consumers, regulators, policymakers, and other metaverse stakeholders trying to navigate the future of the Internet. 
   
   
   
  In the metaverse, you can be who you want to be, where you want to be, and companies and consumers are only restricted by their own creativity how they can benefit from the immersive internet. With engaging commentary on issues ranging from avatars, identity, and digital fashion to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), blockchain, and the economics of the metaverse, this book also offers: discussions on the importance of an open and interoperable metaverse build on the web 3.0 paradigm if we want to reign in the control of Big Tech over our identity, data, and lives; explorations of the enormous—and largely untapped—potential for metaverse entertainment; and considerations related to the dangers of an always-on, immersive internet, including data breaches, avatar imposters, mental health issues, corporate and state surveillance, and the need for metaverse law.

  How do artificial neural networks and other forms of artificial intelligence interfere with methods and practices in the sciences? Which interdisciplinary epistemological challenges arise when we think about the use of AI beyond its dependency on big data? Not only the natural sciences, but also the social sciences and the humanities seem to be increasingly affected by current approaches of subsymbolic AI, which master problems of quality (fuzziness, uncertainty) in a hitherto unknown way. But what are the conditions, implications, and effects of these (potential) epistemic transformations and how must research on AI be configured to address them adequately?
