  What can we really do about the climate emergency?  
    
  The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing – or even just slowing – it will affect all of us. But it can be done. 
  In Net Zero the economist Professor Dieter Helm addresses the action we would all need to take, whether personal, local, national or global, if we really wanted to stop causing climate change. 
  Net Zero is Professor Dieter Helm’s measured, balanced view of how we stop causing climate change by adopting a net zero strategy of reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon absorption. It is a rational look at why the past 30 years efforts has failed and why and how the next 30 years can succeed. It is a vital book for anyone who hears the clamour of Extinction Rebellion and other ecological activists, but wonders what they can actually do. 
  Helm's Net Zero is a comprehensive exploration of the climate crisis, covering everything from the science of global warming to the political and social implications of environmental conservation. It's a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the role of technology, agriculture, and public administration in achieving a net zero future. 
  For fans of Isabella Tree (Wilding), Vaclav Smil (Invention and Innovation), Bill Gates (Source Code), Linda J. Lear (Under the Sea Wind), and Paul Jepson (Conservation).

  Rewiring Democracy - How AI Will...

  In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution.Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures.

  Our Western spring - Where is...

  "Progress is not just electronics and robots; it’s also adaptation and correction of social structures in light of these technological advances," Shvalb asserts, warning that "the old democracy won't survive if we don’t adjust it to the new era." 
  After reviewing the social phenomena leading societies to dangerous places, he points out, "History teaches us that civilizations tend to fade, and when they do, it can happen very suddenly." He then explores the influence of social networks on public discourse, noting that "fake news spreads six times faster than truthful news." As a scientist in the field of hard sciences, he examines the dangers of advancing technology, particularly the role of AI in societal unrest. Shvalb questions, "Can technological mega-giants know us intimately enough to control our choices?" 
  Life as we knew it no longer exists. The benefits technology has given us come with a heavy price. In a world where social interactions are shaped by powerful platforms guiding the way we think, behave, buy, and choose, there is a real risk to our societies that we must consider. The last part of the book is dedicated to practical solutions and suggestions. Yet, despite its serious themes, "Our Western Spring: Where is Political Divide Leading Us?" is engaging and fun to read. If you're curious about who suffered from scrotal ascites, what is considered the worst film of all time, or why China's government hates Winnie-the-Pooh, this book is for you. This blend of intriguing trivia and insightful analysis makes the book both thought-provoking and enjoyable, offering readers a captivating journey through the complexities of modern society.
