Into the Darkness a Journey into...

Darren Smith

"One of the best new Schizophrenia books" - BookAuthority 
★★★★★ Readers' Favorite Book Review. 
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a schizophrenic?Beautifully written with raw and candid reflections on the harrowing reality of living with severe schizophrenia, Into the Darkness invites you to join author Darren Smith as he reveals the heart-wrenching reality of being unable to tell real life from psychosis. 
In this intimate tell-all memoir, Darren takes readers on an unparalleled journey into his disorder, shining a light on the confusion, delusional thoughts, tormenting voices, and persistent paranoia that defined decades of his life—from his troubled childhood when he experienced his very first delusion to struggling to survive as an adult in a frightening world. 
And as his grip on reality grows increasingly fragile, Darren recounts the self-destructive coping mechanisms that pushed him deeper down the rabbit hole and towards the dreadful nightmare realm of a full-fledged schizophrenic break. 
But amid the darkness of adolescent bullying, a painful parental divorce, and an adulthood filled with unrelenting hallucinations, Darren reveals how he fought a years-long battle and triumphed over insurmountable challenges, unlocking a wellspring of hope that helped him achieve victory over his inner demons and grow into the person he is today. 
As a must-read for fellow sufferers of schizophrenia, as well as for therapists and mental health professionals, Into the Darkness is equal parts shocking and illuminating. This book draws you into not only Darren’s life, but also the lives of the friends and family who stuck with him, giving readers a unique and thought-provoking inside view of this multifaceted condition.

The AI Illusion - Why Machines...

Luc Julia

In The AI Illusion: Why Machines Aren't Creative, Luc Julia dismantles the hype surrounding generative AI by revealing what these technologies can actually do (as of today) versus what their promoters claim. Drawing on over thirty-five years' experience in the tech industry, Julia exposes the fundamental truth that generative AI doesn't create—it recombines existing data in response to prompts, producing impressive but ultimately derivative outputs that lack genuine creativity and understanding. 
This essential guide takes listeners on a comprehensive journey through AI's past, present, and future, systematically debunking seven pervasive myths that shape public perception of artificial intelligence. Julia examines the technical limitations, societal implications, and environmental costs of generative AI while providing practical insights into how these tools function and where they're headed. 
The book reveals the technical reality behind generative AI's "hallucinations," biases, and inability to reason or understand language; analyzes the economic and employment impacts of AI adoption across industries and society; demonstrates why artificial general intelligence (AGI) remains scientifically impossible with current approaches; and provides actionable solutions for more responsible AI development and regulation.

No Country for Eight-Spot...

Julian Aguon

Part memoir, part manifesto, Chamorro climate activist Julian Aguon's No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies is a coming-of-age story and a call for justice—for everyone, but in particular, for Indigenous peoples. 
 
 
 
In bracing poetry and compelling prose, Aguon weaves together stories from his childhood in the villages of Guam with searing political commentary about matters ranging from nuclear weapons to global warming. Undertaking the work of bearing witness, wrestling with the most pressing questions of the modern day, and reckoning with the challenge of truth-telling in an era of rampant obfuscation, he culls from his own life experiences—from losing his father to pancreatic cancer to working for Mother Teresa to an edifying chance encounter with Sherman Alexie—to illuminate a collective path out of the darkness. 
 
 
 
A powerful, bold, new voice writing at the intersection of Indigenous rights and environmental justice, Julian Aguon is entrenched in the struggles of the people of the Pacific to liberate themselves from colonial rule, defend their sacred sites, and obtain justice for generations of harm. In No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies, Aguon shares his wisdom and reflections on love, grief, joy, and triumph and extends an offer to join him in a hard-earned hope for a better world.

The Lost Family - How DNA...

Libby Copeland

“A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author  
 
You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. 
 
In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. 
 
“An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author 
 
“Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review 
 
“Impeccably researched . . . up-to-the-minute science meets the philosophy of identity in a poignant, engaging debut.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
