There was one man alive who could prevent the accident. Forced by his former boss into a daring rescue mission, ex-NASA scientist Dr. Frank Carver reluctantly joins the crew of re-commissioned space shuttle Discovery, with one simple ...

Silicon Valley wants you to believe you face a simple choice: Become a soulless tech company or become obsolete. They're lying. In this urgent manifesto for the AI age, technology veteran Tom Glover reveals why the ...

Reality isn't as solid as we think. Sometimes, the patterns we see aren't just random coincidences. Sometimes, the story we think we're writing is actually writing us. When a writer sits down to explore the dark side of artificial intelligence, he expects to create fiction. But as words flow onto his screen, something feels different. Ideas emerge fully formed. Passages appear that he doesn't remember typing. And strangest of all, the events he's writing begin manifesting in the real world—subtle changes at first, barely noticeable shifts in everyday patterns. Across the city, others ...
