A call-to-arms about the broken nature of artificial intelligence, and the powerful corporations that are turning the human-machine relationship on its head.We like to think that we are in control of the future of "artificial" intelligence. The reality, though, is that we--the everyday people whose data powers AI--aren't actually in control of anything. When, for example, we speak with Alexa, we contribute that data to a system we can't see and have no input into--one largely free from regulation or oversight. The big nine corporations--Amazon, Google, Facebook, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Microsoft, IBM and Apple--are the new gods of AI and are short-changing our futures to reap immediate financial gain. In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which the foundations of AI--the people working on the system, their motivations, the technology itself--is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably, thinking and acting in ways which d

Polarnography is a collection of 100 previously unpublished Polaroid pictures by Nobuyoshi Araki in 2016, in which portraits of women and sky equally divide the space. The Japanese photographer intentionally analyses the pictures, pair after pair: the controversial nudes of Japanese women bound with the kinbaku technique made him famous around the world, just as his visceral love for the city of Tokyo, celebrated in many of his photography series, from Tokyo Lucky Hole to Tokyo Diary, Tokyo Novel or Suicide in Tokyo. Women and sky not only coexist in the traditional Polaroid shot but instead complement one another, in forms and colours: 100 combinations for 100 unique, previously unpublished and unrepeatable works. The 100 pictures by the Japanese master are reproduced in facsimile and gathered in a box which is, in turn, the facsimile of the box that held the original photographs. The rhetorical composition between Polaroid and Pornography obviously lies at the heart of the title Pola

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for FictionNew York Times Bestseller“In Paul Harding’s stunning first novel, we find what readers, writers and reviewers live for.” —Joan Frank, San Francisco ChronicleAn old man lies dying. Confined to bed in his living room, he sees the walls around him begin to collapse, the windows come loose from their sashes, and the ceiling plaster fall off in great chunks, showering him with a lifetime of debris: newspaper clippings, old photographs, wool jackets, rusty tools, and the mangled brass works of antique clocks.Soon, the clouds from the sky above plummet down on top of him, followed by the stars, till the black night covers him like a shroud. He is hallucinating, in death throes from cancer and kidney failure. A methodical repairer of clocks, he is now finally released from the usual constraints of time and memory to rejoin his father, an epileptic, itinerant peddler, whom he had lost seven decades before.
