Audiokniha: Fascinující pohled na budoucnost člověka. Čtvrtý věk, audiokniha, která se zabývá fascinující otázkou: Jak technologický pokrok ovlivní budoucnost lidstva? Autor Byron Reese v této audioknize poodhaluje různé scénáře a předpovědi o tom, co nás čeká v době, kterou nazývá Čtvrtý věk. Jedním z hlavních důvodů, proč je Čtvrtý věk tak poutavá audiokniha, je skutečnost, že Byron Reese nejenom prezentuje své vlastní myšlenky, ale také se opírá o údaje a příklady z reálného světa. S využitím 100 000 let historie lidstva, jako svého průvodce, zkoumá problémy kolem umělé inteligence, robotů, vědomí, automatizace, konce práce, hojnosti a nesmrtelnosti. Předkládá argumenty podložené zkušenostmi z průmyslu a vědy, aby podpořil své teze. To dodává audioknize na věrohodnosti a umožňuje posluchačům dostat se za povrch a hlouběji porozumět problematice. Byron Reese je toho názoru, že lidská historie se zásadně změnila jen třikrát, a to za pomoci technologie. • První věk – před 100 000 lety, kdy jsme objevili oheň, který vedl ke vzniku řeči a jazyka; • Druhý věk – před 10 000 lety, rozvinuli jsme zemědělství, které vedlo ke vzniku prvních měst, ale i válčení; • Třetí věk – před 5 000 lety, kdy jsme vynalezli písmo, kolo a peníze, které vedly až ke vzniku států; • Čtvrtý věk – roboti a umělá inteligence • Pátý věk ... Nyní jsme na prahu čtvrtého věku, kterou přinesly dvě technologie: AI a robotika. Audiokniha Čtvrtý věk nám ukazuje základní pozadí toho, jak jsme se dostali do tohoto bodu, a jak – spíše než o čem – bychom měli přemýšlet. O tématech, kterým budeme brzy všichni čelit: automatizace, změny v zaměstnání, kreativní počítače, radikální prodloužení života, umělý život, etika umělé inteligence, budoucnost válčení, superinteligence a důsledky extrémní prosperity. Čtvrtý věk je zkrátka audiokniha, která nenechává jenom otázky běžet hlavou, ale motivuje posluchače přemýšlet o dopadu technologií na naši budoucnost. Bez ohledu na to, zda jste technologický nadšenec nebo skeptik, tato audiokniha nabízí zajímavou perspektivu na to, co nás čeká ve "čtvrtém věku" lidstva. O knize řekli: „Kniha Čtvrtý věk nepojednává pouze o tom, co bude vzestup AI znamenat pro lidstvo, nutí také čtenáře zpochybňovat své předsudky. A to vše dělá zábavným a poutavým způsobem.“ — The New York Times. „V knize Čtvrtý věk nabízí Byron Reese čtenáři něco mnohem cennějšího než to, co si má myslet o umělé inteligenci a robotice – zaměřuje se na to, JAK o těchto technologiích přemýšlet a ukazuje způsoby, jak navždy změní svět. Pokud si chcete přečíst jen jednu knihu o revoluci AI, tahle je ta pravá.“ — John Mackey, spoluzakladatel a CEO, Whole Foods Market. „Reese formuluje nejhlubší otázky naší doby jasným jazykem, který zve čtenáře, aby si sami vybrali. S využitím 100 000 let historie lidstva jako svého průvodce zkoumá problémy kolem umělé inteligence, robotů, vědomí, automatizace, konce práce, hojnosti a nesmrtelnosti. Reese se v knize ukazuje jako optimista a nabádá nás, abychom pomocí technologie vybudovali lepší svět.“ — Bob Metcalfe, profesor inovací UT Austin, vynálezce Ethernetu, zakladatel 3Com. „Dobře načasované, vysoce informativní a optimistické. “ — Booklist.

FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HOLOCAUST AND THE NAZI MIND ''You have to read it'' Volodymyr Zelensky''Laurence Rees brilliantly combines powerful eye-witness testimony, vivid narrative and compelling analysis in this superb account'' Professor Sir Ian Kershaw''In this fascinating study of two monsters, Rees is extraordinarily perceptive and original'' Antony BeevorTwo tyrants. Each responsible for the death of millions. This compelling book on Hitler and Stalin - the culmination of thirty years'' work - examines the two leaders during the Second World War, when Germany and the Soviet Union fought the biggest and bloodiest war in history.Hitler''s charismatic leadership may contrast with Stalin''s regimented rule by fear; and his intransigence later in the war may contrast with Stalin''s change in behaviour in response to events. But as bestselling historian Laurence Rees shows, at a macro level, both were prepared to create undreamt-of suffering - in Hitler''s case, most infamously the Holocaust - in order to build the utopias they wanted.Using previously unpublished, startling eyewitness testimony from soldiers, civilians and those who knew both men personally, Laurence Rees - probably the only person alive who has met Germans who worked for Hitler and Russians who worked for Stalin - challenges long-held popular misconceptions about two of the most important figures in history. This is a master work from one of our finest historians.

How could ordinary Germans have tolerated the removal of the Jews? In THE NAZI MIND, bestselling author Laurence Rees combines history and the latest research in psychology to help answer some of the most perplexing questions surrounding the Second World War and the Holocaust.Ultimately, he delves into the darkness to explain how and why these people were capable of committing the worst crime in the history of the world. Rees traces the rise and eventual fall of the Nazis through the lens of ‘twelve warnings’ – from talk about ‘them’ and ‘us’ to the escalation of racism – whilst also highlighting signs to look out for in present day leaders.Rees uses previously unpublished testimony from former Nazis and those who grew up in the Nazi system, and in-depth psychological insights including cutting edge work on obedience, authority and the brain. THE NAZI MIND is a revelatory new way of understanding how so many people committed the most appalling crime of the 20th century.

Then one day, Bird receives a mysterious letter containing only a cryptic drawing, and soon he is pulled into a quest to find her. His journey will take him back to the many folktales she poured into his head as a child, through the ranks of an underground network of heroic librarians, and finally to New York City, where he will finally learn the truth about what happened to his mother, and what the future holds for them both.

Now featuring a new preface by Peter Thiel Two renowned investment advisors and authors of the bestseller The Great Reckoning bring to light both currents of disaster and the potential for prosperity and renewal in the face of radical changes in human history as we move into the next century. The Sovereign Individual details strategies necessary for adapting financially to the next phase of Western civilization. Few observers of the late twentieth century have their fingers so presciently on the pulse of the global political and economic realignment ushering in the new millennium as do James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. Their bold prediction of disaster on Wall Street in Blood in the Streets was borne out by Black Tuesday. In their ensuing bestseller, The Great Reckoning, published just weeks before the coup attempt against Gorbachev, they analyzed the pending collapse of the Soviet Union and foretold the civil war in Yugoslavia and other events that have proved to be among the most searing developments of the past few years. In The Sovereign Individual, Davidson and Rees-Mogg explore the greatest economic and political transition in centuries—the shift from an industrial to an information-based society. This transition, which they have termed "the fourth stage of human society," will liberate individuals as never before, irrevocably altering the power of government. This outstanding book will replace false hopes and fictions with new understanding and clarified values.

The Fiery Spirits tells the story of the MPs in parliament and the protestors in the streets who played a pivotal role in the English Civil Wars. Through their stories, John Rees reveals the hidden history of the republicans who brought a desperate nation to the brink of revolution.At the start of the English Civil Wars, very few could have imagined that the country would soon become a republic. Practically alone in his republicanism was Henry Marten, MP and future regicide. But he soon gathered around him a group of radical Parliamentarians that included William Strode, the parliamentary firebrand, Alexander Rigby, the formidable soldier, and Sir Peter Wentworth, descendant of a long line of opponents of monarchy. They formed the nucleus of a group that allied itself to a popular movement outside parliament to defeat the king politically and militarily.In The Fiery Spirits, Rees tells how Marten and his radical allies overcame both moderate Parliamentarians and Royalists to change the face of England forever, establishing a kingdom without a crown.

"Everyone must read this book." – Lucia Osborne-Crowley"Extraordinary and utterly compelling." – Adam Phillips "An almost impossible balancing act." – Merve Emre“Part philosophical treatise, part memoir, part history, Rees’s genre-bending meditation on hypochondria references everyone from Freud to Kafka to Seinfeld in a provocative search to find out why, exactly, we believe we’re sick.” – The New York TimesA free-wheeling philosophical essay, Hypochondria combines incisive contemporary cultural critique, colourful literary history, and the author’s own experience of chronic health anxiety to ask what we might learn from the hypochondriac’s discomforting experience of their body. Hypochondria is expansive in its range of references, from the writings of Franz Kafka to original yet accessible readings of theorists like Lauren Berlant. Whether he is discussing Seinfeld, John Donne, or his own past, Rees reveals himself to be a wry and perceptive critic, exploring the causes – and the costs – of our desire for certainty.With wit and erudition, Hypochondria demonstrates both the rewards and the perils of reading (too) closely the common but typically overlooked aspects of our everyday lives.

They''re abused by their husbands. They are feeding their newborns to livestock.At the turn of the 20th century, in the village of Nagyrév, Hungary, midwife Zsuzsanna Fazekas was more than a caretaker - she was a confidante. She helped poor women give birth; she assisted them with abortions; and she listened. Their stories were the same: husbands who drank, who beat them, who made their lives unbearable.In response, Auntie Zsuzsi asked one question: "Why bother with them?"Her solution was arsenic. Soon, women began slipping this concoction, made by dissolving flypaper in water, into their husbands'' porridge, stews, and brandy. And over the next twenty years, the quiet village became the epicenter of one of the deadliest poisoning epidemics of the 20th century - according to some estimates, up to 300 people in the region were murdered.Why did they do it? How did these murders spin out of control? How did these women get away with their crimes for two decades?In The Women Are Not Fine, journalist Hope Reese pieces together archival newspapers, court documents, police records, and the vital work of historians, sociologists, and psychologists, diving deep into the truth behind this extraordinary event. Her findings serve as a stark warning: when women in a community are pushed to the brink, the consequences reverberate through history.The Women Are Not Fine is more than a true crime story.

‘A brutally honest account of power, politics, race and class, written by a politician with a remarkable backstory and destined for bigger things’ - David Olusoga, author of Black and British In 2016, Marvin Rees was elected as mayor of Bristol, the first time a major European city had elected a mayor of Black African heritage. Re-elected in 2021, his eight-year tenure has taken the city through everything from Brexit to Covid, the cost of living crisis to the fall of the Colston statue. With the eyes of the world on Bristol, Rees navigated a high-stakes balancing act to keep the city together – all the while dealing with racist abuse and personal threats.His rise to political leadership was anything but straightforward. The mixed-race son of a Jamaican father and white single mother, he grew up in a household where money was tight and opportunity lacking. He first found purpose in the boxing ring, then, while at university studying history and politics, he passed the interview board for the Royal Marines, but failed the medical. Instead of the armed forces, he joined an international development agency, before becoming a broadcast journalist at the BBC. However, politics beckoned and, after winning a place at Yale’s prestigious World Fellows Program for rising global leaders, he was selected as the Labour Party candidate for Bristol’s first mayoral election in 2012. And lost.Let''s See What Happens chronicles Marvin Rees’s fall and rise to political success – and how the failures along the way ultimately proved a blessing in what he learned about life. He describes both the challenges and opportunities he faced as a man and as mayor, helping his home city grow to national and international prominence.Thoughtful, straight-talking, passionate, this is the fascinating memoir of one of the most charismatic leaders in British politics today.

Gravitace je v našem vesmíru dominantní silou. Rees a Begelman, oba renomovaní astrofyzikové, gravitaci zkoumají tam, kde je nekonečně silná: v černých dírách. Černé díry jsou ohromující objekty, které mohou mít hmotnost miliard Sluncí, ale pozorovat je lze jen prostřednictvím mohutného přitažlivého působení, které pohlcuje vše, co se octne v jejich blízkosti. Osudová přitažlivost popisuje, jak byly tyto nesmírně hmotné neviditelné objekty objeveny a co nám jejich existence říká o vývoji vesmíru. Knihu doplňuje množství názorných ilustrací a fotografií.

Kniha významného britského historika Laurence Reese pojednává o nejkrutějším nacistickém zařízení, které bylo jádrem komplexního systému vyhlazování a místem plánované realizace „konečného řešení židovské otázky“. Je to příběh o brutalitě, odvaze, útěku a přežití, působivá výpověď o tom, jak k lidské tragédii takového rozměru vůbec mohlo dojít.

‘A tour of those far-flung places where Romans rarely dared to venture’ The Times‘A strikingly original take . . . uncovering forgotten stories of life on the periphery’ Spectator''This is the book for expanding your ancient history horizon'' Tristan Hughes, host of ''The Ancients'' podcastWhat was it like to live on the edges of ancient empires, at the boundaries of the known world? When Ovid was exiled from Rome to a border town on the Black Sea, he despaired at his new bleak and barbarous surroundings. Like many Greeks and Romans, Ovid thought the outer reaches of his world was where civilisation ceased to exist. Our fascination with the Greek and Roman world, and the abundance of writing that we have from it, means that we usually explore the ancient world from this perspective too. Was Ovid’s exile really as bad as he claimed? What was it truly like to live on the edges of these empires, on the boundaries of the known world?Thanks to archaeological excavations, we now know that the borders of the empires we consider the ‘heart’ of civilisation were in fact thriving, vibrant cultures – just not ones we might expect. This is where the boundaries of ‘civilised’ and ‘barbarians’ began to dissipate; where the rules didn''t always apply; where normally juxtaposed cultures intermarried; and where nomadic tribes built their own cities.Taking us along the sandy caravan routes of Morocco to the freezing winters of the northern Black Sea, from Co-Loa in the Red River valley of Vietnam to the rain-lashed forts south of Hadrian’s Wall, Owen Rees explores the powerful empires and diverse peoples in Europe, Asia and Africa beyond the reaches of Greece and Rome. In doing so, he offers us a new, brilliantly rich lens with which to understand the ancient world.

The true story of the women behind the greatest female-led mass poisoning in modern historyThe women of Nagyrev are desperate. Their husbands are abusive. They are feeding their newborns to livestock.At the turn of the 20th century, in the village of Nagyrev, Hungary, midwife Zsuzsanna Fazekas was more than a caretaker - she was a confidante. She helped poor women give birth; she assisted them with abortions; and she listened. Their stories were the same: husbands who drank, who beat them, who made their lives unbearable.In response, Auntie Zsuzsi asked one question: "Why bother with them?"Her solution was arsenic. Soon, women began slipping this concoction, made by dissolving flypaper in water, into their husbands' porridge, stews, and brandy. And over the next twenty years, the quiet village became the epicenter of one of the deadliest poisoning epidemics of the 20th century - according to some estimates, up to 300 people in the region would be murdered.Why did they do it? How did these murders spin out of control? How did these women get away with their crimes for two decades?In The Women Are Not Fine, journalist Hope Reese pieces together archival newspapers, court documents, police records, and the vital work of historians, sociologists, and psychologists, diving deep into the truth behind this extraordinary event. Her findings serve as a stark warning: when women in a community are pushed to the brink, the consequences reverberate through history.The Women Are Not Fine is more than a true crime story. It's a timely, haunting exploration of what happens when women's suffering goes unanswered.

A TALE FOR EVERYONE WHO'S EVER FALLEN FOR THE VILLAIN... When her whole life collapsed, Rae still had books. Dying, she seizes a second chance at living: a magical bargain that lets her enter the world of her favourite fantasy series. She wakes in a castle on the edge of a hellish chasm, in a kingdom on the brink of war. Home to dangerous monsters, scheming courtiers and her favourite fictional character: the Once and Forever Emperor. He's impossibly alluring, as only fiction can be. And in this fantasy world, she discovers she's not the heroine, but the villainess in the Emperor's tale. So be it. The wicked are better dressed, with better one-liners, even if they're doomed to bad ends. She assembles the wildly disparate villains of the story under her evil leadership, plotting to change their fate. But as the body count rises and the Emperor's fury increases, it seems Rae and her allies may not survive to see the final page. This adult epic fantasy debut from Sarah Rees Brennan puts the reader in the villain's shoes, for an adventure that is both 'brilliant' (Holly Black) and 'supremely satisfying' (Leigh Bardugo). Expect a rogue's gallery of villains including an axe wielding maid, a shining knight with dark moods, a homicidal bodyguard, and a playboy spymaster with a golden heart and a filthy reputation.
