Summary

Technothriller Themes explores the fascinating relationship between real-world technology and its fictional representation in the technothriller genre. The book delves into how these narratives reflect, anticipate, and sometimes influence our perception of science and technology. It examines recurring themes like cyber warfare, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology, revealing how these fictional scenarios mirror and shape public opinion regarding technological advancements.

 
Did you know that technothrillers can illuminate public understanding of complex scientific issues, acting as a lens – albeit sometimes distorted – through which emerging technologies are viewed? The book analyzes the societal impact of these depictions, offering insights into the hopes, anxieties, and ethical considerations surrounding scientific progress.

 
It's structured in three parts: first, it defines the technothriller genre; second, it explores specific technological themes; and finally, it analyzes the implications of these themes for real-world science and technology policy. By examining these narratives, readers can better understand the broader societal impact of scientific innovation and anticipate potential risks and benefits. The book emphasizes that technothriller fiction serves as a unique form of cultural commentary on science and technology.

 
This work stands out by providing a systematic and interdisciplinary analysis of technological themes in technothriller fiction. It goes beyond simple accuracy assessments to explore the complex interplay between fiction and reality, making it valuable for anyone interested in the intersection of science, technology, and culture.

    Just as a parent leaves a legacy to their child, a tree leaves a legacy to its surroundings. A deep and explorative companion piece to the Roger Deakin Award-winning The Draw of The Sea.Throughout history, trees have determined the tools we use, the boats we build, the stories we tell about the world and ourselves, the songs we sing, and some of our most important rituals. As such, our lives are intertwined with those of the trees and woodlands around us.In this journey deep into the woods, Wyl Menmuir travels the length and breadth of Britain and Ireland to meet the people who plant trees, the ecologists who study them, those who shape beautiful objects and tools from wood, and those who use them to help others.Wyl also explores how our relationship with trees is enduring, now and in the future – what we get out of spending time around trees, the ways in which our relationship with them has changed over time, and the ways in which our future is interconnected with theirs.Written in close collaboration with makers, crafters, bodgers, and woodsmen and women in order to better understand the woods they know so well, the joys and frustrations of working with a living material, and the stories of their craft and skills, The Heart of The Woods will delight anyone who enjoys walking among the trees, and anyone who, when lost, has found themselves in the woods.Chapters include:WOODLAND PLANTER: A woodland in becoming and an ancient yew grove on the border of North Wales and EnglandRITUAL WEAVER: Willow coffin making in CornwallWOODLORE GATHERER: Science among the trees at Wytham Woods, OxfordshireHEARTWOOD CARVER: Among the bodgers in a field outside CambridgeBOAT BUILDER: A woodland community in the heart of Glasgow’s former docklandsLANDSCAPE SHAPER: Re-wilding the Scottish Highlands and an organised trespass in DevonWISH WEARER: The clootie well at Munlochy on The Black Isle, Scottish Highlands, a family tree on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, and the tree at Sycamore Gap, NorthumbriaFOREST BATHER: Swimming at Swallowship Pool, Devil’s Water, and Letah Woods NorthumberlandMYTH WALKER: Walks in the fictional woods at Wenlock Edge, ShropshireWAY FOLLOWER: Traditional carpentry in Takayama, JapanFIRE LIGHTER: The stories we find among the flames and embers, Ennistymon, Ireland SOUND CREATOR: A pub on Ireland’s west coast and a guitar-builder in North Wales APPLE WAILER: Wassailing in CornwallTREE WORSHIPPER: An ancient yew grove in North Wales

    In recent years, there has been massive public and professional interest in Artificial Intelligence. But people are confused about what AI is, what it can and cannot do, what is yet to come, and whether AI is good or bad for humanity and civilization—whether it will provide solutions to mankind's major challenges or become our gravest existential threat. There is also confusion about how we should regulate AI and where we should draw moral boundaries on its use. 
     
     
     
    In How To Think About AI, Richard Susskind draws on his experience of working on AI since the early 1980s. For Susskind, balancing the benefits and threats of artificial intelligence is the defining challenge of our age. He explores the history of AI and possible scenarios for its future. His views on AI are not always conventional. He positions ChatGPT and generative AI as no more than the latest chapter in the ongoing story of AI and claims we are still at the foothills of developments. He argues that to think responsibly about the impact of AI requires us to look well beyond today's technologies, suggesting that not-yet-invented technologies will have far greater impact on us in the 2030s than the tools we have today. This leads Susskind to discuss the possibility of conscious machines, magnificent new AI-enabled virtual worlds, and the impact of AI on the evolution of biological humans.

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative field of computer science dedicated to building systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, language understanding, and decision-making. This comprehensive guide explores the foundational principles of AI, its historical evolution, methodologies, real-world applications, ethical challenges, and the future it holds. The document begins by defining AI, its goals, and its place in the broader field of computer science. It discusses the major branches, such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and expert systems. Following that, the paper delves into the historical timeline of AI from early philosophical concepts to the rise of neural networks and deep learning in the 21st century. The core methodologies are explored in-depth, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, as well as symbolic AI, heuristic approaches, and hybrid models. It further illustrates how AI is integrated across industries like healthcare, finance, manufacturing, education, transportation, and defense. The guide also addresses the critical ethical and societal questions surrounding AI: data privacy, algorithmic bias, surveillance, job displacement, and the need for regulation and responsible AI development. 
    Finally, it speculates on the future trajectory of AI, including artificial general intelligence (AGI), quantum AI, and human-AI symbiosis. It highlights both the immense opportunities AI offers and the serious challenges it poses. 
    This 10,000-word exposition aims to serve students, researchers, policymakers, and enthusiasts by offering a detailed, accessible, and balanced perspective on one of the most powerful technologies of the 21st century.

    DR. RANDALL W. JONES HAS INVENTED A LOT OF THINGS (he’s named on twenty US patents and patents pending), but he’s still on a quest to create the perfect cancer-detection device. In The Healthcare Disruptor, he discusses how anyone can be an inventor/innovator with the right tools. This book provides inspiration and instruction for entrepreneurs forging their own paths to success. Whether you’re taking on a powerful corporate giant, challenging your industry’s norms, or simply trying to understand how to take your first step in business, Dr. Jones has the answers."Healthcare is in crisis,” he says. “The system is broken." There’s too much emphasis on quantity instead of quality, and too many folks are on the take of big corporations. Major manufacturers and the insurance industry discourage managers from significantly improving their operation and healthcare delivery. But there are ways to change the system.
