  The Singularity Paradox -...

  Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from the realm of science fiction to become an integral part of modern society, influencing nearly every aspect of human life. This transformative technology, once envisioned as futuristic and far-fetched, is now a driving force behind innovations in industries ranging from healthcare to transportation, and it continues to reshape the way we live and work. 
  The foundations of AI were laid in the mid-20th century when pioneers like Alan Turing and John McCarthy began exploring the possibilities of creating machines that could think and learn like humans. Turing's groundbreaking concept of the Turing Test challenged the scientific community to consider whether a machine could exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human. This sparked a wave of research and experimentation, leading to the development of early AI systems capable of performing tasks like solving mathematical problems and playing chess. 
  Over the decades, AI has undergone significant milestones, including the advent of machine learning and neural networks in the 1980s and 1990s. These advancements enabled computers to learn from data, improving their performance over time without explicit programming. The introduction of deep learning in the early 2000s marked another leap forward, as AI systems began to process vast amounts of information, recognize patterns, and make predictions with unprecedented accuracy. This era saw breakthroughs such as speech recognition, image processing, and the rise of personal digital assistants like Siri and Alexa.

  “A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author  
   
  You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. 
   
  In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. 
   
  “An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author 
   
  “Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review 
   
  “Impeccably researched . . . up-to-the-minute science meets the philosophy of identity in a poignant, engaging debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

  Obscurantism in power When...

  Brice Perrier

  Over the last ten years or so, it has become commonplace to hear talk of an obscurantist threat linked to a rise in irrationality, manifested mainly by a mistrust of vaccination and conventional medicine. But obscurantism can also be found where we pride ourselves on fighting it. In this case, it is no longer the work of marginal or anti-establishment groups, but of a dominant way of thinking that presents itself as that of science and rationality. 
  The aim of this book is to lift the veil on this obscurantism in power. Through numerous examples, from impeded research into unexplained phenomena such as near-death experiences, to the vast field of medicine where the pharmaceutical industry has cornered the market on proving the usefulness of a treatment, Brice Perrier reveals how reason is transformed into dogmatism and hinders the advancement of knowledge. 
  The aim of the book is not to say what is true or false, nor to settle scientific controversies, but to understand why these debates, which have always been legitimate and even necessary in science, may simply no longer be allowed.

  In this urgent parenting guide, learn how to navigate the uncertainty of the climate crisis and keep your kids informed, accountable, and hopeful–with simple actions you can take as a family to help the earth. Kids today are experiencing the climate crisis firsthand. Camp canceled because of wildfire smoke. Favorite beaches closed due to erosion. Recess held indoors due to extreme heat. How do parents help their children make sense of it all? And how can we keep our kids (and ourselves) from despair?  Environmental journalist and parent Bridget Shirvell has created a handbook for parents to help them navigate these questions and more, weaving together expert advice from climate scientists, environmental activists, child psychologists, and parents across the country. She helps parents answer tough questions (how did we get here?) and raise kids who feel connected to and responsible for the natural world, feel motivated to make ecologically sound choices, and feel empowered to meet the challenges of the climate crisis—and to ultimately fight for change.
