  A New Social Contract -...

  Latorre offers an essential reflection on the technological singularity. The new social contract is not an option: it is an urgency.
  
  We are about to renegotiate one of humanity's oldest agreements. For more than two centuries, the social contract has governed our coexistence, defining what we relinquish as individuals in exchange for protection, rights, and collective order. But for the first time in history, humans share the world with an entity capable of learning, deciding, and acting autonomously: artificial intelligence.
  
  Can we trust it to govern? What rights and duties should we establish in relation to machines? What will be the place of the human being in a world shared with an artificial intelligence that may be faster, more precise, and perhaps wiser than our own?
  
  Between scientific reasoning and humanistic reflection, the author proposes the need for a new social contract that incorporates three inseparable dimensions—the natural, the civil, and the intelligent—without falling either into paralyzing fear or naïve faith in technology. Artificial intelligence is not only a technological challenge. Above all, it is a political, ethical—always human—question.

  At twenty-five, activist Cristina Moon faced an impossible task: preparing for the possibility of arrest and torture inside military-ruled Myanmar. Her response? Learning Buddhist meditation. So began what would become a decades-long spiritual path—eventually leading her to a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawai'i with a timeless method of warrior Zen training. 
   
   
   
  Offering a bracing account of three years of mind-body-spirit training at Daihonzan Chozen-ji, a Rinzai Zen temple and martial arts dojo, Moon powerfully captures the rigors and realizations that finally shaped her into a Zen priest whose highest directive is to give fearlessness. 
   
   
   
  Told with immersive detail and an unique Asian American female perspective, Three Years on the Great Mountain chronicles Moon's straight-up-the-mountain training regimen at Chozen-ji, conducted every day and often through the nights. Through the spiritual forging of daily Zen meditation, manual labor, swordsmanship, and Japanese tea ceremony, she discovers a newfound conviction that self mastery and spiritual growth can take fierce form. Embraced by local Hawai'i and Japanese culture, and a community of discipline, respect, and discovery, she discovers a profound sense of home.

  Bite Club - Real-life attacks by...

  It’s a trauma like no other. 
  Being perceived as a threat or, worse, hunted as food makes an animal attack a unique ordeal. Suddenly you’re helpless, at its mercy. When an animal strikes it is lightning fast, determined and can’t be reasoned with. Often brutally violent, such an attack can leave horrific injuries, both physical and emotional that endure long after the encounter. 
  Whether it’s a great white shark, a bear, lion, or other deadly predator, the impact such attacks can have on the victim, their families, the communities, and the wider human psyche is often profound and enduring. And when you add the media attention that such incidents often attract, the actual bite might not be the only attack a survivor has to endure. 
  In Bite Club, we meet brave people from around the world who have come face to face with sharks or other deadly predators and lived to tell the tale. And we learn of the group of survivors who are supporting each other to navigate, recover and grow from what is for many, their most traumatic experience ever.
