Katherine Zhao has done everything right. Her grades are flawless. Her behavior is compliant. Her Risk Score is nearly perfect. Then the system flags her anyway. Overnight, Katherine becomes an anomaly—marked by a silent red warning only the algorithms can see. Teachers look at her with pity. Classmates look at her with hunger. And when explicit images of her body—images she never consented to, never posed for—begin circulating through the school, the system doesn’t ask who created them. It asks how she reacts. Her fear becomes data. Her anger becomes proof. Her humanity becomes the...

First published in 1898, The Wreck of the Titan, or Futility tells the haunting story of the Titan, the largest ship ever built, hailed as unsinkable—until it strikes an iceberg in the icy North Atlantic and sinks beneath the waves. Fourteen years later, the Titanic followed the same doomed course. Now, for the first time, the Official Autograph Facsimile Edition™ restores the rare 1912 edition, bringing Robertson’s ...

Every few months, someone compares the fall of Rome to whatever crisis is in the news. The comparisons are almost always shallow. Rome had roads, we have the internet. Rome had bread and circuses, we have social media. This book is not that. The Roman Empire faced challenges that are structurally identical to those created by artificial intelligence — not because history mystically repeats, but because certain problems emerge whenever a civilization reaches a specific threshold of complexity, scale, and technological capability. Rome hit that threshold with roads, aqueducts, and slave ...

The Skyscraper Curse is Dr. Mark Thornton's definitive work on booms and busts, and it explains why only Austrian economists really understand them. It makes business cycle theory accessible to a whole new 21st-century audience. And they need it, especially those under 40. Many of the brilliant quants working on Wall Street and at the Fed barely remember the Crash of 2008, much less understand it. But Mark Thornton does, and his book is a warning about overheated equity markets, overinflated housing prices, and clueless central bankers.

THE PAST 9 PANDEMICS SUGGEST COVID-19 MAY RELATE TO MOSES' DIETARY LAWS The Jews' kosher diet is based on Moses giving the ancient Israelites food laws in which they could eat animals designated "clean" but not those "unclean." Christians think these laws have no hygienic basis and that Jesus abolished them (Mark 7.19b). This author disagrees and claims COVID-19 may prove it. Zarley shows that the past nine, major epidemics or pandemics starting with the Spanish Flu in 1918 were caused by zoonosis--the transmission of a virus from animals to humans--and in each case it was an "unclean" ...

Calhoun was interested in discovering the factors that drove and limited rodent population growth; he had joined the Rodent Ecology Project in Baltimore in 1946, and he and other members of the project had become interested in understanding how to reduce rodent pests in America’s cities without the use of poison.

The $100 billion collapse of the AI investment sector happened exactly where you'd expect a modern financial catastrophe: in markets so deliberately opaque that even the people running them couldn't explain how they worked. Cross-collateralized GPU equipment leases. Intercreditor agreements. Private credit funds wrapped inside private equity funds that owned pieces of companies that owned other pieces of the same companies. The complexity wasn't an accident. It was the point. While Silicon Valley celebrated revolutionary technology, a parallel economy was being constructed in the shadows. ...
