We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us don’t know how the world really works. This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check—because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts.

What does it mean to be smart? To be human? What do we really want from life and the intelligence we have, or might create? With deep and exclusive reporting, across hundreds of interviews, New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz brings you into the rooms where these questions are being answered. Where an extraordinarily powerful new artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing.

In Why We’re Polarized, Klein reveals the structural and psychological forces behind America’s descent into division and dysfunction. Neither a polemic nor a lament, this book offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trump’s rise to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture. America is polarized, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics.

Today's "machine-learning" systems, trained by data, are so effective that we've invited them to see and hear for us - and to make decisions on our behalf. But alarm bells are ringing. Systems cull résumés until, years later, we discover that they have inherent gender biases. Algorithms decide bail and parole - and appear to assess black and white defendants differently. We can no longer assume that our mortgage application, or even our medical tests, will be seen by human eyes. And autonomous vehicles on our streets can injure or kill.

Superintelligence asks the questions: What happens when machines surpass humans in general intelligence? Will artificial agents save or destroy us? Nick Bostrom lays the foundation for understanding the future of humanity and intelligent life. The human brain has some capabilities that the brains of other animals lack. It is to these distinctive capabilities that our species owes its dominant position. If machine brains surpassed human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could become extremely powerful - possibly beyond our control.

"Correlation does not imply causation". This mantra has been invoked by scientists for decades and has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. But today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, sparked by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and placed causality - the study of cause and effect - on a firm scientific basis.

What does it mean to “be you” - that is, to have a specific, conscious experience of the world around you and yourself within it? There may be no more elusive or fascinating question. Historically, humanity has considered the nature of consciousness to be a primarily spiritual or philosophical inquiry, but scientific research is now mapping out compelling biological theories and explanations for consciousness and selfhood.

Now, as we face immense challenges on our planet - including climate change, the threat of nuclear war, and the development of artificial intelligence - he turns his attention to the most urgent issues facing us. Will humanity survive? Should we colonize space? Does God exist?

What is consciousness? How do physical processes in the brain give rise to the self-aware mind and to feelings as profoundly varied as love or hate, aesthetic pleasure or spiritual yearning? These questions today are among the most hotly debated issues among scientists and philosophers. Philosopher David J. Chalmers offers a cogent analysis of this heated debate as he unveils a major new theory of consciousness, one that rejects the prevailing reductionist trend of science, while offering provocative insights into the relationship between mind and brain.

Description
A best-selling author, neuroscientist, and computer engineer unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI.
For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses map-like structures to build a model of the world - not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought. A Thousand Brains heralds a revolution in the understanding of intelligence. It is a big-think book, in every sense of the word.

…What did I just listen to?
If you’re interested even casually in actual neuroscience - skip this one. Pseudointellectual. Author comes off as some rich guy who thinks he’s a neuroscientist and nobody has had the courage to tell him that he isn’t and that he shouldn’t write this vanity project. Doesn’t seem to understand the difference between “theory” and “hypothesis” - or, at best, rambling opinion. Frequently uses some version of “it’s too complicated to go into, so I’ll dumb it down for you” - but rather than actually presenting a complex idea simply you’re left feeling that the author just copped out because he has no idea what he’s taking about. A grand total of one chapter is directly related to the topic of the book, and even that is poorly argued from a scientific perspective. Very little depth here. After that the wheels just totally fall off and it turns into everything and the kitchen sink. Narrator did a good job at least.

Opens with science, closes with pseudo-philosophy
Opens with a science-based explanation of our human brain (neocortex) works to understand and interact with the world. This is worth reading.
This transitions into philosophy and speculation where the author has a novel perspective to start from, but lacks the rigour to go beyond a “food for thought“ buffet of assorted ideas. I would have liked to see any of these ideas explored and defended further.

Ahead of its time
Imagine being one of the first people to learn about how evolution works or about how all life is made up of cells. This books tackles a question of similar magnitude and I believe it mostly succeeds.
The key points from On Intelligence are repeated here which makes this a great standalone book but it can be a bit repetitive if you've read the first book and have kept up with Numenta over the years.
After reading this book you'll start to see evidence for these ideas in your own life.
The knowledge I've gained from this book has helped me optimize strategies for learning new concepts which is the main reason I'm giving it 5 stars. It can be a bit dry in some places and a bit too opinionated in others but not nearly enough to be an issue.

Great book with disappointing end
The whole part where he talk about his expertise is fascinating I learned a lot about the brain but the philosophy end with very questionable points and argument, I wish he spent the last 2 hours giving his opinion on the future of brain health revolution rather than the extinction of humanity

A revolution in brain science
Thinking is a kind of movement. moving from one reference frame to the next one. neocortex uses cells similar to grid cells to create reference frames. all thoughts are made this way. the book is fascinating and it might truly be a turning point in our understanding of brain mechanisms.
