Synopsis

Artillery Power examines the sweeping impact of artillery on military history, arguing its evolution has consistently reshaped battlefield tactics and military strategy from ancient times to modern warfare. The book highlights how artillery redefined the possibilities and limitations of military power, not just through technological advancements but also through its influence on social and economic factors. Readers will discover how crucial the interplay between technology, strategy, and societal forces are to understanding artillery's impact.

 
The book chronologically progresses from ancient siege engines to contemporary precision-guided munitions, detailing tactical adaptations driven by artillery's enhanced capabilities. For instance, the shift from gunpowder artillery to more sophisticated siege guns during the Renaissance significantly altered territorial control strategies. Similarly, the advent of rifled artillery transformed industrial warfare during the American Civil War, making battles deadlier and more complex. This study provides a comprehensive look at how artillery's development forced militaries to adapt.

 
Drawing from military manuals, battle reports, and quantitative data, Artillery Power offers a balanced and objective analysis suitable for both academics and enthusiasts interested in military technology and its historical significance, making it a valuable resource for understanding military planning and defense procurement.

    Literary Theory for Robots reveals the hidden history of modern machine intelligence, taking listeners on a spellbinding journey from medieval Arabic philosophy to visions of a universal language, past Hollywood fiction factories, and missile defense systems trained on Russian folktales. In this provocative reflection on the shared pasts of literature and computer science, former Microsoft engineer and professor of comparative literature Dennis Yi Tenen provides crucial context for recent developments in AI, which holds important lessons for the future of humans living with smart technology. 
     
     
     
    Intelligence expressed through technology should not be mistaken for a magical genie, capable of self-directed thought or action. Rather, in highly original and effervescent prose with a generous dose of wit, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice—to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Something as simple as a spell-checker or a grammar-correction tool, embedded in every word-processor, represents the culmination of a shared human effort, spanning centuries. 
     
     
     
    With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labor history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers.
