Stop the Machines - Mauro Lubrano

As we stand on the cusp of an AI revolution, will we see the rise of a new anti-technology extremism that threatens to dismantle the gains of modern civilization? In the first exploration of this phenomenon, Mauro Lubrano traces the origins and evolution of anti-technology violence across the globe. He identifies three main groups fuelling such resistance: insurrectionary anarchists, eco-extremists, and eco-fascists. Exploring the justifications that underlie the opposition to technology and the strategies employed to ‘stop the machines’, he shows how anti-tech extremism has emerged as a reaction to the Anthropocene – an attempt to undo the epoch of human domination. The intellectual flexibility of this ideology lends itself to different causes, from the class struggle against the techno-elites to the defence of nature and white supremacy. With fears about the risks of artificial intelligence mounting and the world beset by serious ‘polycrises’, what is currently a fragmented, fringe phenomenon holds the potential for dramatic escalation.

The Perennials - Mauro Guillen

'Will open your mind to your own future and show you a new world of adventure.' - ARTHUR C. BROOKSFor the first time in human history, eight defined generations live together side by side, from Alphas to the Greatest Generation by way of Boomers, Xennials, Millennials and more. However, these definitions have so often been used to pigeonhole us into rigid categories, all underpinned by the restrictive 'four stages of life' model - of play, study, work, retirement. This means that potential is left untapped on a societal level; also individuals are tied into a trajectory that minimises opportunity and fulfilment.In The Perennials, Mauro Guillén unpacks the megatrends - such as increasing longevity and the explosion of technology, among others - that are transforming life as we know it. How, within this milieu, a new group of 'perennials' must emerge: individuals who cannot be so easily defined by the pervasive metrics of age and experience or by simple inter-generational conflict. These post-generational perennials offer the promise of liberating us from the constraints of the accepted four stages of life model, therefore allowing everyone the chance of living a much more rewarding and fulfilling life. Guillén proceeds to unveil how this ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Rise of the Machines - George Finney

Expert guide to create Zero Trust digital environments in an AI-everywhere landscape Rise of the Machines: A Project Zero Trust Story is a continuation of the 2023 bestseller Project Zero Trust, picking up where the first book left off and addressing issues not covered in the first installment: artificial intelligence, mergers and acquisitions, antivirus, business continuity, and remote work. Artificial Intelligence is the dominant issue discussed in every chapter, providing a case-study-based approach to applying zero trust principles to all the various aspects of artificial intelligence, from MLOps, used by security teams, to use of GPTs, chatbots, and adversarial AI. AI transforms technology by enabling unprecedented automation and decision-making, but securing it with a Zero Trust approach is essential because AI inherently relies on trusted data and systems, making it a target for manipulation. The book also includes discussion around regulatory issues and the alignment of regulation around Zero Trust practices. Written by George Finney, 2024 recipient of the Baldrige Foundation Leadership Award for Cybersecurity and recognized as one of the top 100 CISOs in the world in 2022, this book provides key insights on: Appling the four Principles of Zero Trust to AI: Focusing On Business Outcomes, Designing From ...

When In Doubt, Stop the Bout - Mike Silver

“Since the inception of the Marquess of Queensberry rules boxing has understood the need to be safer. While there have been some rule changes through the years, many have been like applying an ‘enswell’ to reduce swelling. In his latest book, When in Doubt Stop the Bout, Mike Silver asks the hard questions and offers serious and innovative solutions that will make the sport safer without diluting its primal appeal.
