Artificial Intelligence is the bedrock of the future economy and the new global operating system that will quietly power every industry, process, and decision. In The Future After AI, top-ranked economist and world-renowned futurist Jason Schenker explores how AI will underpin finance, technology, energy, healthcare, education, and business. AI is transforming the global economy in ways as profound as the internet and computers once did. But just as we no longer marvel at using the internet, AI's impact is likely to become so deeply embedded in technology and society that we might soon stop...

They crossed the stars to build a new home. But by the time they arrived, humanity was already a ghost. After the harrowing journey of the Aurora across centuries and light-years, Captain Morrow and her mismatched crew hoped to find an untouched world ripe for hope and rebuilding. Instead, they awaken to a silent planet—its cities shattered, its stations derelict, and the only survivor a centuries-old, half-human being whose memories might be as dangerous as they are vital.

The war for Earth is just the opening act. The Xortaag armada has never lost a war. Now their ships blot out Earth’s sky, and our last line of defense is four people who should absolutely not be in charge of saving the world: A movie-quoting pilot with a death wish. A stuntwoman who treats danger like a hobby. A silent assassin with a body count, not a personality. And a paranoid cosmic spymaster who trusts no one. Their fight starts in Earth’s orbit… then tears through wormholes, broken timelines, and clashing alternate universes. Every choice echoes across multiple Earths in the ...

A nuclear disaster strikes Europe… …but inside the cutting-edge thorium reactor, everything appears normal. No system failures. No containment breach. Not a single malfunction. Yet - hospitals overflow with radiation victims. Wildlife drops dead in forests. Trees wither and decay for miles. Something is poisoning the land—something no sensor can detect. Something that shouldn't exist. When the IAEA sends specialist investigator Jonathan Beck to the scene, he faces an impossible paradox. The reactor is clean. The science says it's safe. But people are dying. He isn't alone in the hunt....

A galaxy-conquering alien armada… …has just knocked on Earth’s door, and it did not come bearing cookies. An unstoppable fleet is busy steamrolling its way across the cosmos, one planet at a time, and humanity is next on the menu. Standing between them and total universal doom is the least likely Avengers lineup ever assembled: a rule-breaking starfighter ace, a stuntwoman who treats gravity like a polite suggestion, a super-assassin with more ways to kill you than you have bones, and a wisecracking alien prankster who thinks reality is his personal toy box. Their job? Protecting not ...

One ship. A crew of misfits. An empire that wants them vaporized. What could go wrong? Five Books. Over 2000 pages of pulse-pounding action, heart-wrenching drama, and enough snark to fuel a starship. Captain Xander Hawk sacrificed everything to rescue a doomed transport—his career, his freedom, and any chance of seeing his wife and daughter again. His reward? Life imprisonment in the galaxy's worst hellhole, where the only thing worse than the inmates is the food. But when a ragtag crew of misfits, con artists, and battle-scarred warriors break him out, Hawk discovers his sacrifice was ...

REVELATIONS FROM THE Z’S ABOUT WHAT LIES AHEAD Humanity is facing an unprecedented phase of evolution, planetary revolution, and the acceleration of time. More and more people are seeking guidance as they wake up to a connection with something far bigger than what they were taught about human life.

In a world of self-driving cars and big data, smart algorithms and Siri, we know that artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. Though all these nifty devices and programs might make our lives easier, they're also well on their way to making "good" jobs obsolete. A computer winning Jeopardy might seem like a trivial, if impressive, feat, but the same technology is making paralegals redundant as it undertakes electronic discovery, and is soon to do the same for radiologists.

It was a shock for us all when Russia invaded Ukraine. The daily unfolding events remind us that we each live every day of our lives on the very cutting edge of History. Wars have always defined the critical moments in human history. And the latest military weaponry has always defined the nature of those wars. This is an interesting time in history in which many powerful nations are not only developing very advanced weapons but are also eager to sell these weapons to other nations. Therefore not only are the weapons of today complex, but so is the politics involved in using them. Recently ...
