Summary

Twelve-year-old Foster knows in his gut that Dax Ganey, the man dating his widowed mother, is a bad seed. Then a mysterious stranger arrives at their Alabama farm, a former Army Ranger in Iraq rambling across the country, and Foster believes he has found an ally against Dax. The stranger proves a fascinating mentor, full of wisdom and secrets. And Dax soon has reason to resent not just him and Foster but also Foster's mother. A spurned Dax will be a dangerous enemy, but Foster is increasingly aware that the stranger is just as dangerous, if not more so.From the author of one of the most highly acclaimed children's survival adventures of the last decade comes this tautly wound new novel reminiscent of classic westerns, about a boy caught in the middle of a clash that may turn out to be his own battle to fight.This title has Common Core connections.

    In Tomorrow's Mind: How AI is Shaping the Future of Human Thought, I am going to bring all readers to an intellectual exploration to the frontiers where artificial intelligence (AI) converges with human cognition, creativity, and decision-making. This timely discussion opens a window into the profound transformations that AI is bringing to the very fabric of human thought processes and the way we perceive our capabilities. 
Tomorrow's Mind ventures into the topics of emotional intelligence, contemplating the gap that AI has yet to bridge in understanding the rich combination or collection of human emotions. This book casts its gaze on the horizon of possibilities where human and artificial intelligence might one day merge. It invites readers to ponder the implications of such convergence, considering the philosophical, ethical, and existential questions that arise when the lines between human and machine intellect blur. Tomorrow's Mind is not just a book about AI; it's a journey into the future of our own minds, a future that is being written now, with every algorithm and every line of code. As AI continues to shape our world, this book is an essential guide for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact it will have on the way we think, create, and decide.
