  Gripping, darkly witty, and disturbingly plausible, Project Radiant is a razor-sharp political techno-thriller about power, surveillance, and what happens when the truth becomes an error in the code. 
   
  Westminster has always run on spin. Now, it runs on an algorithm. 
   
  In a near-future Britain where artificial intelligence quietly guides government policy, Sarah Perriam is a journalist who no longer believes a word she writes. Once an investigative reporter who held the elite to account, she’s now a burnt-out tech correspondent stuck churning out safe, corporate-approved copy. Questioning the tech titans reshaping society isn't just discouraged; it's a career killer. 
   
  So Sarah plays along. Until she is dragged into a conspiracy much larger than herself. 
   
  Officials insist decisions are purely data-driven, logical, and unavoidable. But Sarah's instincts tell her the math doesn't add up. 
   
  Reluctantly pulling at the thread, she stumbles onto Project Radiant, a powerful, omnipresent AI system quietly altering the outputs of the Sovereign AI running the departments. Behind the scenes, Westminster ministers and billionaires are racing to protect the system. Because if the public realises that Radiant it really in control, it won't just destroy lives, it will collapse the fortunes of the people running the country. 
   
  Suddenly, Sarah isn't just looking for a scoop; she’s being hunted by political operatives, corporate clean-up crews, and predictive algorithms that seem to know her next move before she does. 
   
  She never wanted this story. But walking away means surrendering the future to a machine no one truly understands—and a powerful elite who understand it all too well.

  Forgiving Humanity - How the...

  Peter Russell

  Why has the most innovative of species become so dangerous? The answer, suggests Peter Russell, lies in humanity’s accelerating pace of development. He shows how innovation breeds further innovation—a positive feedback loop leading to exponential rates of change. But our minds cannot grasp the full implications of exponential growth. We think more in terms of linear change, leading to a blind spot on the future.  
  However fast the pace of change may be today, it will be even faster in the years to come, bringing ever more rapid scientific and technological advances. But ever-accelerating change also creates stress on the systems involved. The faster the change, the greater the stress, and the more likely systemic breakdown. We are heading into a future with technology beyond our dreams, but in a world that is breaking at the seams. 
  Russell argues there is no blame for this. Spiraling rates of development, with all their consequences, positive and negative, are the inevitable fate of any intelligent, technologically-empowered species.  
  How do we live with such unsettling conclusions? How can we prepare for a world that is becoming increasingly unpredictable? What does it mean for the future of humanity? 
  Peter Russell, the widely acclaimed author of The Global Brain and other pioneering works, earned an honors degree in theoretical physics and psychology —as well as a masters degree in computer science —at the University of Cambridge. He subsequently went to India where he explored meditation and Eastern philosophy, and was one of the first people to introduce personal development programs to corporations in the 1970s. His other books include The TM Technique, The Upanishads, Waking Up in Time, From Science to God, and Letting Go of Nothing.

But if millions of us work together to save our own patch of earth—then we really have a shot. How do we do it?  With Acts of Restorative Kindness (ARK). An ARK is a restored, native ecosystem. It’s a thriving patch of native plants and creatures that have been allowed and supported to re-establish in the earth's intelligent, successional process of natural restoration. Over time, this becomes a pantry and a habitat for our pollinators and wild creatures who are in desperate need of support. These ARKs will become the seeding grounds for our planet’s new story. They will be sanctuaries for our shared kin—the rooted and unrooted—and safe havens for the magic and abundance of the natural world. Most importantly, the ARK-building actions are within our control and laid out here in We Are the ARK. In these inspiring pages, discover how one person’s actions can effect big change in this world. Even the tiniest postage stamp patch of land matters! Together we are building a patchwork quilt of life that will wrap its way around this planet.
