The automobile was one of the most miraculous inventions of the 20th century. It promised freedom, style, and utility. But sometimes, rather than improving our lives technology just makes everything worse. Over the past century cars have filled the air with toxic pollutants and fueled climate change. Cars have stolen public space and made our cities uglier, dirtier, less useful, and more unequal. Cars have caused tens of millions of deaths and injuries. They have wasted our time and our money.

Math and science require a heightened state of concentration. It needs rational, sequential, and analytical ways to solve issues. The prefrontal cortex of your brain, which sits just below your brow, is thought to be involved in concentration when you're in focused mode. Mathematical ideas are often more abstractly encoded than those of common language, and it is possible that humans have not developed through millennia to manage them. Because of their abstraction and encryption, it's possible to think about math and science, but it takes more time and effort to do so.

Artificial intelligence is everywhere—powering news feeds, curating search results, and invisibly steering our lives. We talk to it and, increasingly, it talks back. And sometimes, its answers seem eerily smart, until they don't.

In this must-have for anyone who wants to better understand their love life, a mathematician pulls back the curtain and reveals the hidden patterns—from dating sites to divorce, sex to marriage—behind the rituals of love. The roller coaster of romance is hard to quantify; defining how lovers might feel from a set of simple equations is impossible. But that doesn’t mean that mathematics isn’t a crucial tool for understanding love. Love, like most things in life, is full of patterns. And mathematics is ultimately the study of patterns—from predicting the weather to the fluctuations of the stock market, the movement of planets or the growth of cities. These patterns twist and turn and warp and evolve just as the rituals of love do.

Eva Walker is a 17-year-old math genius. And if that doesn't do wonders for her popularity, there's another thing that makes it even worse: When she touches another person or anything that belongs to them - from clothes to textbooks to cell phones - she sees a vision of their emotions. She can read a person's fears and anxieties, their secrets and loves...and what they have yet to learn about calculus. This is helpful for her work as a math tutor, but it means she can never get close to people. Eva avoids touching anyone and everyone.
