7 Seconds to Die - A Military...

John F. Antal

A military study of the 2020 war between Armenia and Azerbaijan—the first war in history won primarily by unmanned systems. 
 
Fought over the course of forty-four days, the Second Nagorno-Karabakh war resulted in a decisive military victory for Azerbaijan. Armenia lost even though they controlled the high ground in a mountainous region that favored traditional defense. In 7 Seconds to Die, military consultant and historian John Antal examines the decisive factors of the war and their implications for the future of armed conflict. 
 
The fact that Azerbaijan won the war is not extraordinary, considering the correlation of forces arrayed against Armenia. What is exceptional is that this was the first modern war primarily decided by unmanned weapons. The Turkish-made BAYRAKTAR TB2 Unmanned Air Combat Vehicle (UCAV) and the Israeli-made HAROP Loitering Munition (LM) dominated the fighting and provided Azerbaijan with a war-winning advantage.

Consciousness - Where Did It...

Ylia Callan

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
What is consciousness, and why does it matter? Is it a byproduct of the brain, a reflection of the cosmos, or the very fabric of reality itself? Consciousness – Where Did It Come From and Where Is It Going? takes listeners on a profound journey through the mysteries of awareness, exploring both the science and the spirit of mind. 
From leading theories such as Integrated Information Theory and Global Workspace Theory, to deeper explorations of memory, dreams, the self, and even the quantum question, this audiobook illuminates the many faces of consciousness. It traces the evolution of awareness - from the earliest stirrings of life’s inner eye, to the possibility of a universal consciousness shaping the cosmos. 
With clarity and depth, the chapters reveal consciousness as both a scientific puzzle and a timeless mystery. Is the self an illusion? Can dreams open gateways to hidden dimensions of mind? What role does the body play in shaping awareness? And most importantly, what might the future of consciousness hold for humanity and beyond? 
Whether you are fascinated by neuroscience, intrigued by philosophy, or drawn to the spiritual dimensions of mind, this audiobook offers a sweeping exploration of one of the greatest questions of existence: Where did consciousness come from - and where is it going?

The Future Economy - A Crypto...

Brandon Zemp

Few know the blockchain space as well as Brandon Zemp.

While savvy investment in this growing space can make you rich, Zemp shows how the real wealth will come from blockchain’s capacity to improve human lives, from medicine to transportation to art. The introduction of blockchain-powered decentralized finance will challenge a banking industry in desperate need of reform, empowering billions around the globe by reclaiming power from big banks and state-sanctioned fiat currencies. Zemp concludes by offering guidance for those who want to participate in this movement. There is space for everyone, and fresh opportunities are emerging each day. The only ones who will be left behind are those who refuse to see that the twenty-first century belongs to blockchain. That time is already here.
