The true, behind-the-scenes history of the people who built Silicon Valley and shaped Big Tech in America Long before Margaret O'Mara became one of our most consequential historians of the American-led digital revolution, she worked in the White House of Bill Clinton and Al Gore in the earliest days of the commercial Internet. There she saw firsthand how deeply intertwined Silicon Valley was with the federal government--and always had been--and how shallow the common understanding of the secrets of the Valley's success actually was. Now, after almost five years of pioneering research, O'Mara has produced the definitive history of Silicon Valley for our time, the story of mavericks and visionaries, but also of powerful institutions creating the framework for innovation, from the Pentagon to Stanford University.It is also a story of a community that started off remarkably homogeneous and tight-knit and stayed that way, and whose belief in its own mythology has deepened into a collective

這本書帶來一個清晰又緊迫的警告，告訴我們快速發展的科技浪潮如何對全球秩序構成前所未有的風險，以及我們該如何在還有機會時設法控制它們。作者是DeepMind的共同創辦人穆斯塔法·蘇萊曼，這家領先的人工智慧公司如今隸屬於Google。想像一下，只需2萬美元就能買到的DNA合成機，讓任何人都能製造並釋放致命病毒；或是一段無法偵測的深偽影片，讓總統在選舉前夕被誤以為發表種族歧視言論；又或者恐怖分子囤積能自主決定開火時機的武器。這些場景不是科幻，而是我們可能面對的未來。蘇萊曼揭示，科技進步速度之快、風險之廣，正顛覆人類長久以來「以權換安全」的社會契約。如果我們不採取果斷行動，未來可能在技術專制與社會崩潰之間掙扎。《浪潮將至》深入剖析這場科技超浪潮，並提出解決危機的路徑，這是我們時代無法迴避的挑戰！A stark and urgent warning on the unprecedented risks that a wave of fast-developing technologies poses to global order, and how we might contain them while we have the chance—from a cofounder of the pioneering AI company DeepMindImagine a world in which anyone with a $20,000 desktop DNA synthesizer could develop and unleash a deadly virus. Imagine an undetectable deepfake video of a U.S. president making a racial slur racing across the internet on the eve of an election. Imagine terrorists or paramilitaries stockpiling autonomous weapons designed to make their own decisions about when to engage.As cofounder of DeepMind, the pioneering AI compa

Is it glistening morning dew? Spider thinks so. Is it crisp leaves crunching? That’s what Squirrel says. Could it be a cool pond, sun-warmed sand, or moonlight on the grass? Maybe poetry isall of these things, as it is something special for everyone—you just have to take the time to really look and listen. The magical thing is that poetry is in everyone, and Daniel is on his way to discovering a poem of his own after spending time with his animal friends. What is poetry? If you look and listen, it’s all around you!

We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. Or if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices- taking time out from other things in order to fit it all in.There has to be a better way...and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us.

When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer.Vanderkam shows that with a little examination and prioritizing, you'll find it is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a
