Sinossi

"Amiga The Computer" delves into the remarkable story of a revolutionary personal computer that redefined multimedia capabilities in the 1980s and early 1990s. This comprehensive exploration reveals how the Amiga, originally conceived at Atari before being developed by Commodore, introduced groundbreaking features that were years ahead of their time, including pre-emptive multitasking and sophisticated graphics architecture that would later become industry standards.The book methodically examines three crucial aspects of the Amiga's legacy through carefully structured sections. First, it uncovers the technical brilliance behind its custom chipset and innovative AmigaOS. The narrative then shifts to demonstrate how these capabilities transformed creative industries, particularly in video production and gaming. Finally, it connects these historical innovations to modern computing paradigms, showing how many of today's standard features were first pioneered by the Amiga platform.Drawing from technical documentation, developer interviews, and archived materials, the book presents a balanced analysis of both technical achievements and commercial challenges. While maintaining accessibility for general readers, it offers valuable insights into system architecture design and operating system development that remain relevant for today's technology professionals. This thorough examination of the Amiga's influence on personal computing provides essential historical context while documenting how its innovative approach to multimedia computing helped shape our modern digital landscape.

    "No Way Down is both a gripping read and a clear-eyed investigation of the hubris, politics, and bad luck that brought on one of the worst disasters in modern mountaineering history." —Michael Kodas, author of High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed 
     
     
     
    "Graham Bowley's No Way Down does a great job of putting you on the mountain. It is a refreshingly unadorned account of the true brutality of climbing K2, where heroes emerge and egos are stripped down, and the only thing achieving immortality is the cold ruthless mountain." —Norman Ollestad, author of Crazy for the Storm 
     
     
     
    In the tradition of Into Thin Air and Touching the Void, No Way Down by New York Times reporter Graham Bowley is the harrowing account of the worst mountain climbing disaster on K2, second to Everest in height . . . but second to no peak in terms of danger. From tragic deaths to unbelievable stories of heroism and survival, No Way Down is an amazing feat of storytelling and adventure writing, and, in the words of explorer and author Sir Ranulph Fiennes, "the closest you can come to being on the summit of K2 on that fateful day."

    As China rises to true superpower status, the United States must take immediate action to catch up in AI capabilities—or facefall disastrously behind technologically, economically, and militarily. 
     
     
     
    Over the past decade, China has quietly and methodically moved into a near-leadership position in artificial intelligence technologies on a global scale. Meanwhile, the United States has responded ineffectively, weighed down by politics, bureaucracy, and an absence of clear strategy. 
     
     
     
    In the near future, wars will be fought not over land, but over data. Machines will quickly discover individualized treatments for diseases, and with the help of virtual reality, AI will inspect buildings that have not yet been built. With the rising interest in these technologies by both China and the US, who will emerge as the victor of this technological race? 
     
     
     
    When AI Rules the World is an investigation and call to action into AI technologies for a nation that does not yet comprehend the full gravity of the AI revolution. The United States is losing the race for AI dominance, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

    In RNJesus They Trust: Game Design, Your Time & Your Luck is a witty, sharp-eyed exploration of randomness in modern gaming — and how it blesses, tests, or exploits the players who kneel before it. From the ecstatic thrill of a rare drop to the soul-crushing grind of gacha pulls, game developers have turned RNG (random number generation) into a design pillar that fuels excitement and monetization. But where does randomness stop being fun and start wasting your time — or draining your wallet? This book unpacks that question across genres: MMOs, gacha games, roguelikes, shooters, and strategy titles. It blends game design insight with psychological analysis and a dash of sacred satire, portraying “RNJesus” as the unpredictable deity we’ve all prayed to at 2 AM. Whether you're a game designer, critic, or lifelong gamer tired of losing to the dice, this book offers clarity, laughter, and empowerment. Learn to recognize fair design, spot exploitative patterns, and advocate for gaming systems that respect your time — and your luck.
