  This audiobook narrated by Daisy Donovan shares an electrifying vision of how we can safeguard AI's future for the public good
  
  Artificial intelligence may be the most transformative technology of our time. As AI's power grows, so does the need to figure out what—and who—this technology is really for. AI Needs You argues that it is critical for society to take the lead in answering this urgent question and ensuring that AI fulfills its promise.
  
  Verity Harding draws inspiring lessons from the histories of three twentieth-century tech revolutions—the space race, in vitro fertilization, and the internet—to empower each of us to join the conversation about AI and its possible futures. Sharing her perspective as a leading insider in technology and politics, she rejects the dominant narrative, which often likens AI's advent to that of the atomic bomb. History points the way to an achievable future in which democratically determined values guide AI to be peaceful in its intent; to embrace limitations; serve purpose, not profit; and to be firmly rooted in societal trust.
  AI Needs You gives us hope that we, the people, can imbue AI with a deep intentionality that reflects our best values, ideals, and interests, and that serves the public good. AI will permeate our lives in unforeseeable ways, but it is clear that the shape of AI's future—and of our own—cannot be left only to those building it. It is up to us to guide this technology away from our worst fears toward a future that we can trust and believe in.

  Most software demos fail—not because the product is weak, but because the human brain is overwhelmed. 
  In a world where buyers are distracted, stressed, and drowning in information, even the best technology gets ignored if the presentation doesn’t align with how people actually think, learn, and decide. 
  The Cognitive Demo reveals the neuroscience behind unforgettable software presentations—and gives you a proven framework to transform your demos into clear, compelling, decision-driving experiences. 
  Drawing on cognitive load theory, memory science, behavioral psychology, and decades of sales experience, Jeff Mildon shows you how to:Capture attention in the first 30 secondsPrevent cognitive overload before it happensBuild memory-anchored demo flows that stickUse emotional cues to accelerate understandingAlign your message with each buyer personaStructure demos that buyers can retell internallyClose with clarity, confidence, and momentum 
  Whether you’re in SaaS sales, solutions engineering, leadership, or onboarding, this book will teach you how to deliver demos that aren’t just watched—they’re felt, remembered, and retold. 
  If you want shorter sales cycles, stronger engagement, and buyers who finally “get it,” you need more than features and workflows. 
  You need The Cognitive Demo.

  He had science and an Ivy League pedigree―why did he need God? Immersed in his physics studies at Cornell, Tom Rudelius never thought much about God until his brother, a new convert to Christianity, challenged him to explore faith. To placate his twin, he reluctantly began exploring the Bible and the life of Jesus. Seeking proof of God’s existence, he found himself in a world of uncertainty, faced with plenty of reasons for both faith and doubt.In Chasing Proof, Finding Faith, Tom, now a rising young theoretical physicist, traces his journey to unexpected faith, through subsequent doubt and anxiety, and ultimately to a firmer, life-transforming allegiance to Jesus. Along the way, he explores some of the issues he wrestled with, includingCreation and cosmic originsThe problem of evil and sufferingThe compatibility of miracles with science and the plausibility of Jesus’ resurrectionThe reliability of the BibleWhile Tom never found absolute proof of God or Christianity, he ultimately concluded that the existing evidence for both is compelling and compatible with science. His searingly honest story is a potent guide for those doubting or exploring faith.

  For over half a century, DNA has dominated science and the popular imagination as the "secret of life." But over the last several decades, a quiet revolution has taken place. In a series of breathtaking discoveries, the biochemist Thomas R. Cech and a diverse cast of brilliant scientists have revealed that RNA—long overlooked as the passive servant of DNA—sits at the center of biology's greatest mysteries: How did life begin? What makes us human? Why do we get sick and grow old? In The Catalyst, Cech finally brings together years of research to demonstrate that RNA is the true key to understanding life on Earth, from its very origins to our future in the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  A gripping journey of discovery, The Catalyst moves from the early experiments that first hinted at RNA's spectacular powers, to Cech's own paradigm-shifting finding that it can catalyze cellular reactions, to the cutting-edge biotechnologies poised to reshape our health. We learn how RNA may have jump-started life itself, and how, at the same time, it can cut our individual lives short through viral diseases and cancer. We see how RNA is implicated in the aging process and explore the darker depths of the supposed fountain of youth, telomerase. And we catch a thrilling glimpse into how RNA-powered therapies may enable us to improve and even extend life beyond nature's current limits.
