01011001 01101111... This is how the message arrives. Not with a greeting, but with a death sentence, decoded by SETI from a tightbeam transmission in 2025. It is the first hint that humanity is not alone. It is the last warning they will ever receive. It began with ‘Oumuamua. The anomalous interstellar object that tumbled through our solar system in 2017, a splinter in the mind of science. Was it a natural phenomenon, or something else? The world’s astronomers debated, while a few lone voices in the intelligence community and academia warned it was a scout. They were dismissed as ...

They had all the information. They still didn't see it coming. Every great intelligence failure of the modern age — Pearl Harbor, the missiles in Cuba, the fall of the Shah, the weapons that were never in Iraq — shares one haunting feature: the warning was already there. The problem was never too little information. It was too little imagination, and too little discipline, in the minds of the people who had to judge. The Analyst's Craft is a rigorous, multipolar study of how trained professionals read the intentions of others under uncertainty — and why, again and again, they get it ...

What if science explained everything about the brain—except the one thing that matters most? A brain can be scanned, mapped, stimulated, modeled, and measured. Neurons fire, information moves, memories form, words are spoken, and behavior unfolds according to physical processes. Yet one question remains stubbornly unresolved: why does any of it feel like something from the inside? In Chalmers and the Hard Problem of Consciousness: Mind, Matter, and the Mystery of Experience, Clayton Louis Turnage explores one of the most important philosophical challenges of the modern age. David Chalmers...

Herbert A. Simon and the Sciences of the Artificial: Design, Complex Systems, Problem-Solving, Organizations, and AI introduces Herbert Simon’s central claim that much of human life takes shape in artificial worlds: tools, procedures, institutions, interfaces, and decision systems built for purposes. This book gives a practical account of how Simon connected design, cognition, management, economics, and artificial intelligence into one field of inquiry. It shows why artifacts are best understood not only by how they are made, but by how they function under constraints, serve goals, and ...

When her boyfriend buys her a pair of forty-dollar “meteorite” earrings from a folding table at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, the left stone is wrong in weight and deaf to a magnet. That is when she starts hearing a voice inside her head. Something has woken up inside those five grams of dark stone. It is older than written history, it carries a past that humanity can no longer afford to ignore—and it is about to turn Delia’s ...
