But when they end up in Los Angeles, Dad promises this will be the last time they move. The Pacific Crest Apartments are home now . . . which means it's time for Jake to finally make friends. Jake isn't sure he should count the two kids he meets at the apartment's community center as friends, though. Tank Vuong is a large and intimidating boy who hangs with a tough crowd, and Emily Quesada is a fashionista who's quick with a sarcastic remark. But when he discovers an old computer lab in a forgotten corner of the community center, with a strange Minecraft server containing cryptic riddle

★《華爾街日報》商業暢銷書★ MIT 史隆商學院博士 兩度獲選「領英之聲╱LinkedIn Top Voices」財經類榜首作者 洞察未來社會的生存意見！ 21世紀充滿不確定，讓人難以招架。 數據爆炸、選擇激增，這使我們習慣向AI算法與專家達人尋求最佳化與低風險的解答──但這也極危險地讓個人的智力活動開始凋敝。 我們必須學會重新開拓眼界、找回主見、練習自行判斷。 本書的靈感最初來自一篇作者於《哈佛商業評論》撰寫的《通才萬歲》，這篇文章引起了廣泛的迴響，人們對於科技與起帶來的權威性解答充滿疑懼，又期待能找回新的思考自主性。 你可能沒有意識到一件事：你喪失思考能力了。你我都一樣。我們比以往都更依賴專家、規章，與科技，而不再自己思考了──因為我們害怕錯過「最佳選項」，便自動把「決定工作」外包給專家、科技程序了，當這種外包得愈頻繁，我們的思考能力也隨之退化。 於是，本書這位全球趨勢觀察者決定延續展出這本令人大開眼界、刷新想法的著作；他敏銳的觀察到：在現下複雜且資訊氾濫的世界，我們比以往都更依賴專家、規章，與科技，而不再自己思考了。從商業、體育和日常生活的各式各樣案例，我們都已在實質意義上把「思考」外包，從而放棄了自主權……；從航空器的自動駕駛災難到現代醫學的可能盲區，本書將提出豐富的案例、激盪新的思考習慣，讓專業與資訊回到輔助，使常理與獨立思辨的精神歸來。 沒錯，我們仍須仰賴專家、規定和科技的幫助。但我們仍要保有自主權，不再盲目地被專家牽著鼻子走、陷入專家狹窄的視野裡。我們必須要能同時具備深度與廣度，主動整合專家、科技提供的建議，靠自己做決定。對此，作者透過不同領域的真人真事，以鮮明生動的文筆、強而有力的分析，提供了幾項原則和技巧，幫助讀者重拾自主思考力。 想在這個充斥不確定性、眾多問題相互牽連、高度複雜的 21 世紀中，重拾自主權，本書是本不可或缺的指南。 │決策者書評│ 美國空軍及北美防空司令部前指揮官╱羅瑞．羅賓森（Lori Robinson）： 我們當然需要專家和科技協助我們選擇，但今日的資訊洪流及嘈雜的專家聲量，很容易讓我們失去思考的自主性。曼莎拉瑪尼明智地告訴我們如何從專業知識中獲益，同時還能為自己思考。 雷神科技公司董事長暨執行長╱葛瑞．海斯（Greg Hayes）： 在我們這個數據氾濫、心煩意亂的時代，這本書是必讀之作。 普信集團前董事長╱布萊恩．羅傑斯（B

近年來由於國際地緣政治變化、全球供應鏈重組、氣候變遷及超高齡社會趨勢，形成世界經濟的挑戰。同時，生成式人工智慧的興起，也為我國發展新興科技及相關產業帶來新契機。鑒於台灣資源有限，因此需集中資源於具潛力、優勢且符合未來需求的利基技術領域，才能在瞬息萬變的AI新時代中取得競爭優勢。面對全球新興技術日新月異的發展，世界各國積極推動各項新興科技相關之政策與計畫，協助推動國家經濟發展和社會福祉的提升。例如：2024年2月美國更新「關鍵及新興科技清單」(Critical And Emerging Technologies)，指引科技政策方向；2024年2月歐盟亦通過「歐洲戰略技術平台計畫」(Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform, STEP)，重點投入數位與深度科技、清潔和資源、生物科技；韓國依據《國家戰略技術育成特別法》，於2023年年底確立12大國家戰略技術，制定技術發展路徑圖和旗艦專案；中國則將「新質生產力」納入2024年「兩會」的「政府工作報告」中，成為中國大陸未來的新興科技策略方針。值得注意的是，新興技術如人工智慧在近年來發展迅速，各國和企業都在積極投入資源，進行相關技術研發和應用。人工智慧在醫療、金融、製造、零售等多個產業領域，均展示出巨大的潛力，提升了營運效率並創造新的商業模式。台灣作為亞洲科技重鎮，如何掌握此波技術革命的先驅，推動本土產業創新與升級，成為台灣產業創新發展與轉型升級的關鍵課題。本期《台經月刊》將以「聚焦前瞻科技驅動台灣產業創新與成長之策略分析」為主題，深入了解美國、歐盟、中國與韓國等國前瞻科技驅動產業創新與成長的策略做法，以探討AI趨勢浪潮下台灣新興科技發展方向，及其帶動產業創新與成長，鞏固我國在全球科技競爭中維持領先優勢，再創產業經濟發展高峰之策略。
