  Not A Real Enemy - The True...

  Hungary, 1944. Almost half a million Jewish Hungarians are deported to Auschwitz. Among the few surviving Hungarian Jews from this era were young men who, like Ervin Wolf, were forced into the brutal Labor Service where they were cut off from the outside world and forced to endure inhumane brutalities and servitude. Once freed, a new oppression took hold as communist rule under Stalin turned friends to foes, enveloped the nation in fear and suspicion, and tested everyone’s character and strength. 
  This is the true story of Ervin Wolf and his family as the fascist tide of Eastern Europe takes hold of Hungary. From the Wolfs’ comfortable upper-class life to imprisonment, daring escapes, tragic deaths, cloak-and-dagger adventures, and Ervin’s final escape to freedom in the dead of night, Not a Real Enemy is a page-turning tale of suspense, tragedy, comedy, and ultimately, triumph.

  The Ethics of Technology - Moral...

  In an age where technology permeates nearly every aspect of our lives, understanding the ethical foundations behind its development and use has never been more critical. Tech ethics, at its core, explores the moral principles that guide our decisions regarding the design, implementation, and impact of technology. As digital tools become increasingly powerful and integrated into society, they bring with them profound questions about responsibility, fairness, and the human consequences of innovation. 
  The roots of technology ethics can be traced back to classical moral philosophy. Thinkers like Aristotle, Kant, and Mill laid the groundwork for how we approach right and wrong, justice, and duty. These age-old theories—virtue ethics, deontology, and utilitarianism—are still highly relevant in today's tech-driven world. For instance, when we ask whether a self-driving car should prioritize the life of a passenger over a pedestrian, we are invoking these very moral frameworks to guide the decision-making process. In this way, ethical theory provides a lens through which we can evaluate the choices we make as developers, users, and regulators of technology. 
  Modern concerns surrounding tech ethics often revolve around issues that were unimaginable even a few decades ago. Digital privacy, algorithmic bias, and autonomous systems challenge us to reinterpret traditional moral values in new contexts. This requires a dynamic understanding of ethics—one that can evolve alongside technological change. Unlike in the past, where tools were relatively neutral and required human operation, today's technologies often act with a degree of independence, raising the stakes of their ethical implications. Machines that learn, adapt, and decide are not just tools; they become agents of action whose behavior must be morally accountable.

  This Won't Help - Modest...

  Part catharsis, part diagnosis, this divinely wry collection from New Yorker and McSweeney's satirist Eli Grober will strike a chord with those who are dismayed by the chaos of our times. None of it will help—but a few good laughs won't hurt. Probably. 
   
   
   
  There's a lot going on, all the time. It may feel overwhelming. Don't worry. It will end. This Won't Help is here for you in the meantime—with 100 short, sharp, satirical essays that skewer a world raging with inaction, while maximizing the profits of self-destruction. As if that would help! 
   
   
   
  Eli Grober's biting, Swiftian prose spares no one—not the megalomaniacal billionaire fleeing Earth for a better life on unlivable Mars, not an extremely online family living completely off-grid, not even a fossil-fuel lobbyist insisting we all stop using straws. (Eli does spare a kind thought for the supremely intelligent listeners with the good sense to buy this book.) Maybe, just maybe, descending through the inferno of our environmental, economic, and political landscape will help us find real solutions to the hypocrisy and dysfunction that surrounds us. But probably not.

  This groundbreaking resource moves us from theory to action with a practical plan for reparations. 
   
   
    
  A surge in interest in black reparations is taking place in America on a scale not seen since the Reconstruction Era. The Black Reparations Project gathers an accomplished interdisciplinary team of scholars—members of the Reparations Planning Committee—who have considered the issues pertinent to making reparations happen. This book will be an essential resource in the national conversation going forward. 
   
   
    
  The first section of The Black Reparations Project crystallizes the rationale for reparations, cataloguing centuries of racial repression, discrimination, violence, mass incarceration, and the immense black-white wealth gap. Drawing on the contributors' expertise in economics, history, law, public policy, public health, and education, the second section unfurls direct guidance for building and implementing a reparations program, including draft legislation that addresses how the program should be financed and how claimants can be identified and compensated. Rigorous and comprehensive, The Black Reparations Project will motivate, guide, and speed the final leg of the journey for justice.
