Broken Money - Why Our Financial...

Lyn Alden

Broken Money explores the history of money through the lens of technology. Politics can affect things temporarily and locally, but technology is what drives things forward globally and permanently.
 

 
The book's goal is for the listener to walk away with a deep understanding of money and monetary history, both in terms of theoretical foundations and in terms of practical implications. From shells to gold, from papyrus bills of exchange to central banks, and from the invention of the telegraph to the creation of Bitcoin, Lyn Alden walks the listener through the emergence of new technologies that have shaped what we use as money over the ages. And beyond that, Alden explores the concept of what money is at its very foundation to give the listener a framework to analyze and compare different types of monetary technologies and monetary theories.
 

 
The book also takes a distinctively human look at how money impacts the lives of real people, and how new monetary technologies shape the power structures within society.

Into Stability - Walter R Evans...

Gregory W. Evans

Into Stability: Walter R. Evans and the Story of Root Locus tells the remarkable story of a quiet but transformative breakthrough in engineering—one that reshaped modern control systems and helped guide technological progress during the Cold War.
In the late 1940s, as engineers struggled to design increasingly complex feedback systems for aircraft, radar, and emerging technologies, stability remained one of the most difficult problems in control engineering. Walter Evans, working with a rare combination of mathematical insight and practical intuition, developed a graphical technique that allowed engineers to visualize how system stability changed as parameters shifted. This method—later known as the root locus—quickly became one of the most powerful and widely taught tools in control theory.
The book traces Evans’s journey from his early life and education through the intellectual environment that shaped his thinking, revealing how curiosity, persistence, and unconventional problem-solving led to a breakthrough that would influence generations of engineers.
Beyond the mathematics, Into Stability is also a human story—of family, mentorship, and the legacy of innovation. Gregory W. Evans blends personal recollections with historical context to illuminate how one engineer’s idea spread through classrooms, laboratories, and industries worldwide. The result is both a tribute and a historical narrative that captures the spirit of discovery that drives engineering progress.
Ultimately, the book reveals how a deceptively simple graphical technique became a cornerstone of modern control engineering—shaping everything from aerospace systems to robotics and beyond—while honoring the life and contributions of the man who first drew stability into view.

Moving Target - The Obedient...

Dean Mauro

Book 2 of the Moving Target Trilogy
Stevie Parker thought the hard part was over.
She survived the phishing. The elder fraud. The romance scam that hit too close to home. She read the book, made the changes, and came out the other side prepared. Then her company got a private equity offer and someone handed her the keys to an AI rollout and told her to move fast.
She moved fast.
Moving Target: The Obedient Machine follows Stevie through the decisions that looked completely reasonable in the moment — the AI tools adopted without vetting, the policy approved without reading, the vendor demo that checked every box, the employee who was not who the resume said. Twelve mistakes in Book 1 were personal. The mistakes in this book belong to the entire organization. And the consequences are proportional.
Alongside Stevie's story, each chapter pulls back the curtain on a real crime operation: deepfake voice cloning, synthetic identity fraud, AI-assisted business email compromise, prompt injection, model poisoning, and the insider threat that was hiding in plain sight for eleven months before anyone looked. All of it documented. None of it theoretical.
This is not a book about artificial intelligence. It is a book about who is actually in control of it. The machine does not have an agenda. It is obedient. The problem is what it is being told to do, and by whom.
Perfect for: Anyone who adopted AI tools without a governance framework. Business leaders who approved a policy without reading it. Anyone who watched the PE deal fall apart and wondered how. Anyone who thought the breach was the worst thing that could happen — right before something worse happened.
This is Book 2 in the trilogy. Book 3: Ghost and the Machine -- Coming Fall 2026. Stevie stops being findable. The criminals lose the target. The machine is hers alone.
