The Horse Is Here to Stay - Work...

David Vanheeswijck

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Somewhere a factory is running a full shift with the lights off. Not because the bulbs failed, but because no one is there who needs them. The output is real. What has gone missing is the worker, and with the worker, the wage. 
 
For thirty years David Vanheeswijck wrote the software that let companies produce more without hiring more. The Horse Is Here to Stay turns that engineer's view on the economy those systems are now building, and arrives at the conclusion most writing on AI avoids: the problem is not that machines will take the jobs. The problem is who owns the machines. 
 
The productivity gains from artificial intelligence are flowing to capital, not to labour, and that is a design choice, not a law of physics. Refusing both the robot panic and the utopia of a workless world funded by a universal cheque, the book makes the case for predistribution: changing who owns the productive assets before the returns are extracted. It works through the fifty-year decoupling of pay from productivity, the new micro-giants earning millions per employee, the quiet concentration of ownership, and the two places on earth where citizen ownership already works at scale, Norway's sovereign fund and the Alaska Permanent Fund. And it asks the question the technical fixes never reach: what people are for, once income is no longer the thing that organises a life. 
 
Written by an engineer from inside the machine.

Mighty Bad Land - A Perilous...

Bruce Luyendyk, Edward J. Larson

What does it take to prevail in Antarctica? 
 
 
 
Four geologists and two mountain guides face the brutal beauty of West Antarctica eight hundred miles from the United States main base. Their search reaches far into the treacherous mountains of Marie Byrd Land. Over six weeks of living in tents and traveling by snowmobile, the team endures endless cold and furious blizzards. They cross ice fields and hidden crevasses, which one of the team learns about the hard way. 
 
 
 
What keeps them going in spite of these dangers? Will the mountains give up their secrets? Can these scientists find evidence of the formation of the ranges many millions of years ago as the giant continent of Gondwana began to break apart? Was a new continent, now known as Zealandia, created by this event? 
 
 
 
Mighty Bad Land, told firsthand by Bruce Luyendyk, a former professor of geology, reveals his inner battles and challenges: he's almost fifty, asthmatic, and fights chronic pain. Through deft storytelling, listeners are invited into a land of emptiness, beauty, constant daylight, and unseen menace.

Finite Element Analysis

James Mandel

There are several objectives in this book. These include teaching the history, basic principles, and the theory of finite element analysis. The students will be introduced to applications of finite element analysis to real-world applications. These applications include, but are not limited to, analysis of thin shells, fracture mechanics, analysis of reinforced beams and columns, stress analysis, earthquake analysis of structures, buckling, seepage under a dam, a medical example, registration of MRI and PET scans, and a finite element analysis of the Golden Gate Bridge. These examples come from my own personal work experiences, research, and technical publications authored by me and persons instrumental in the development of the finite element method. James A. Mandel, P.E., is a registered professional engineer. He designed bridges on the interstate highway system. He also did the structural design of the Gemini Ballute. He was a full-time professor in the department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Syracuse University from 1967 to 2008.
