Will artificial intelligence usher in a new age of prosperity, or are we sowing the seeds of our own destruction? Some scientists have long feared that AI will lead to human extinction, as ever more ruthless and capable machines elbow us aside. In certain circles it has even become fashionable to stockpile supplies in underground bunkers to prepare for a dystopian future. Optimists argue that AI will be a terrific boon, not least to science and medicine. For instance, MIT researchers have used a deep learning model to identify a chemical compound to treat E. Coli infections. And the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to the developers of Google DeepMind for mapping proteins far quicker than previously possible. Toby Walsh has worked in AI since before most people had a computer. In God AI, he guides us with humour and humanity through the claims and the counter-claims – and helps us make up our own minds about one of the biggest issues of our time.

Design legend Seymour Chwast lends his "diabolically witty, devilishly expressive" style [NPR] to one of the western world's most celebrated classics. Seymour Chwast, an icon of the graphic design world, has delighted audiences with his adaptations of The Divine Comedy and The Canterbury Tales. Now he turns to Homer's Odyssey, one of the best-known stories in history. The tale is one that begs for visual interpretation, filled with mythic characters we all know well: the Cyclops, the Lotus-Eaters, the cannibal Laestrygonians, the Sirens, the monster Scylla (beside the whirlpool Charybdis), Poseidon, Athena, and Zeus.... Featuring a bold black, white, and blue interior design throughout, imbued with his own sly humor, The Odyssey brings us a dazzling new vision of one of the epic journeys.

數位時代的攝影師聖經，AI時代重大修訂在人人都有強大拍攝科技的時代，培養真正的影像判斷力如果說當今的影像世界有什麼明顯改變，那應該不是畫質更高、設備更先進，而是影像創作變得太過容易。拍照幾乎沒有門檻，甚至不需要相機——人工智慧可以在幾秒內生成一幅看似完美的畫面。當「製造影像」已如此輕而易舉，真正稀缺且有價值的，其實是，我們是否還有能力看出影像的力量從何而來？ 這正是本書核心：攝影不只是紀錄，更是一種視覺設計。決定作品出不出色的，在於拍攝者是否適切安排觀者的視線、控制畫面的重心、建立或打破平衡，甚至決定情緒的節奏。這些看似自然出現的效果，其實都有其設計原理，而且不但都能找到方法理解、學習，也正是區分「AI生成的影像」與「人類建構的影像」的關鍵所在，而這正是作者大規模修訂這本經典的出發點。他深信，在影像太容易生成的年代，能夠以某種手法，將相同場景拍成與眾不同、出乎意料的畫面，是比攝影史上任何時期都更受重視的價值。那麼具體上，視覺風格要如何建構？麥可‧弗里曼透過大量作品，一步步拆解我們拍照時往往忽略的設計層面：— 線條與形狀如何建立秩序— 重心與平衡如何產生張力— 框架與裁切如何引導觀看— 前景與空間如何創造深度— 節奏與對比如何形塑氛圍這些，都能讓影像具有獨屬於人的「創造性」，——讓拍攝者在面對相同場景時，拍出與他人截然不同的特性與意圖，而不只是複製現實。也正是在這個層面上，《攝影師之眼》更像是在建立觀看的素養，一種面對任何影像時，都能拆解其結構、看出其意圖的能力。這也正是為什麼，在過去十多年間，當大量攝影書隨著器材更新與潮流更迭逐漸退場時，《攝影師之眼》仍被學者與教學體系反覆使用。本書所處理的，不是攝影的表層技術，而是影像思考的基礎層次。無論工具如何改變，這一層始終不會過時。在影像愈來愈容易生成的今天，這些能力不只是創作的基礎，更是一種理解世界的方式。《攝影師之眼》所提供的，不只是拍照的方法，而是關於如何觀看、如何判斷，以及如何在影像之中建立意義。
