The perfect quick reference guides to keep on your phone or tablet, easily accessible when you are on board. They contain all the essential information for when you need it most about navigating and passage planning. The Navigation Companion covers all the navigation essentials: charts, compass, tides, standard and secondary ports, dead reckoning, estimated position, course to steer, lights, GPS, waypoints and buoyage in a highly illustrated format making it easy to understand at a glance – ideal for those moments when you need an answer, and you need it fast! The Nautical Calculation Companion is an aide memoire of those calculations frequently needed (but often forgotten) for traditional coastal and offshore navigation and other equations and formulae which can be useful afloat. Each topic has worked examples, and there are frequent diagrams to illustrate the process. The Passage Planning Companion details the timetable for developing a passage plan and goes through all the elements you should consider: port information, routeing, weather, tides, timings and safety. It then takes you through ship management on the passage: the crew briefing, roles, routines, pre-sail checks, watch keeping and much more. This will be a valued companion when planning and executing a sea voyage.

  ChatGPT for President

  What if the next president of the United States wasn’t human—but an artificial intelligence that already knows everything about you? In this book, I imagine what would happen if ChatGPT—or any advanced AI—became president, exploring how it could begin as a utopian dream where everyone feels seen, heard, and taken care of, before slowly revealing the darker truth of what happens when we surrender our freedom for comfort. I’ve lived online for more than a decade, building an entire life as a YouTuber, course creator, and digital entrepreneur before realizing how much of my soul I’d given to algorithms, and that experience inspired the question at the heart of this book: What happens when the same technology that already shapes our thoughts, feeds, and emotions starts running the government too? In these pages, I take you from the promise of a perfectly efficient AI-led society to the nightmare of total control, where we trade sovereignty for safety and forget how to live without machines telling us who to love, what to believe, and what to do next. ChatGPT for President isn’t a technical manual or a conspiracy theory; it’s a mirror held up to our future—a reflection of how close we already are to giving away everything that makes us human. If you’ve ever wondered where artificial intelligence is truly leading us, this book is my honest, unfiltered answer.
