Es una paradoja de nuestros tiempos que vivamos en la sociedad de la información, pero no entendamos cómo funciona. ¿Qué pasaría si supiésemos más? En Fancy Bear se va de phishing, Scott J. Shapiro recurre a su popular clase en la universidad de Yale sobre hackeo para mostrar que el cibercrimen tiene menos que ver con la programacion defectuosa que con el cableado imperfecto de nuestra psique y nuestra cultura. Cuenta la historia de perpetradores ilustres, como Robert Morris Jr., el estudiante de postgrado que se cargo Internet de forma accidental en los ochenta, y el bulgaro Dark Avenger, quien invento el primer motor de virus informaticos mutantes. Tambien conocemos al adolescente de dieciseis años del sur de Boston que se hizo con el control del movil de Paris Hilton, los agentes de inteligencia rusos que trataron de controlar unas elecciones en EE. UU., y otros.Al relatar sus historias, Shapiro expone los kits de herramientas para hackers y revela que los cibercriminales no solo hacen un mal uso del codigo informatico, sino que tambien explotan los principios filosoficos de la informatica: las mismas caracteristicas que hacen posibles los ordenadores tambien hacen posible el hackeo. Explica como funciona en realidad nuestra sociedad de la informacion, la manera en que nuestros datos se almacenan y se manipulan y por que son tan vulnerables a la explotacion. Mezcla de jugueteo intelectual y narrativa dramatica de crimenes reales, Fancy Bear se va de phishing expone los secretos de la era digital. Aqui hay hackeo, espionaje, guerra y cibercrimen como nunca habias leido antes.

El autor de la serie «Los secretos de» regresa a su género fetiche, los souls-like. Ha llegado el momento de descubrir lo que oculta Lies of P.Viajero, bienvenido al libro que desvela todos los miste

What Does It Mean to Be Human in the Age of AI? With all the hype and speculation around artificial intelligence, its most profound effects have yet to be revealed. The bigger question is not just what AI is doing to our jobs but to our soulsour relationships with God and one another.In Godlike Power, Russell Haitch cuts through the noise to tell the story of three core developments: the push to humanize machines, drawing us into emotional bonds with AIs; the drive to mechanize people, rooted in Enlightenment reason and the Industrial Revolution; and how God became human, so that humans could become more like Godand how techno-religion proposes a rival path to divinity. These three stories offer contrasting religious visions. Haitch argues we are now confronted with two rival paths to divinity, and we must choose the right one. Godlike Power argues that the third storythe Christian story of real people becoming like Godoffers the timeless and hopeful vision we need, allowing us to journey into the age of AI on a path that leads to life.AI is the latest chapter in humanitys Promethean quest for godlike power. But it is also a story about our perennial quest for intimacy. Even as AI technology rapidly changes, Haitch argues we need wisdomsomething more than superintelligenceto attain the power and love we long for.With Godlike Power, you can wisely examine AI through a theological lens, enabling you to engage thoughtfully and responsibly with how AI is reshaping our understanding of identity, truth, and what it means to be human.

How AI-generated images radically alter our interactions with photography as well as our understanding of it.In recent years, artificial intelligence technologies have made it easy for anyone to produce images that look indistinguishable from photographs. How do these AI-generated images change our understanding of photography? Should we consider them photography at all? In Digital Photography After AI, Amanda Wasielewski explores these questions as well as the historical and theoretical concerns for the field of photography after the widespread uptake of AI tools.The book connects AI-generated photographs to a longer trajectory of the history of photography, from Henry Fox Talbot in the nineteenth century through Surrealism and the mid-twentieth century of media to more recent times, including camera phone photography and social media. The author addresses AI-generated images in terms of the technique, form, and function of photography throughout its history, as well as the documentary function of photography, image resolution and filter effects, the surreal and real quality of photographs and AI-generated images, and the latters impact on representation and illusion.

Canva creator Melanie Perkins and her partner Cliff Obrecht wrote their own playbook. Heres the story of what we should all hope the next generation of business will look like: how they did it, why they did it, and why it worked.I hope this story can inspire others to dream big, set goals, and make them happen. Melanie Perkins, Canva CEO and co-founderBorn out of simple frustration with complex design tools, Canva has grown into a wild success, with a massive, devoted user community of more than 200 million people, in 190 countries and using 100 languages.

No magic. No shortcuts. No runtime to blame.You can ask an AI to explain how vtables work in x86. It will give you something that sounds right. What it wont give you is what Windows actually expects the vtable to look like, why method dispatch behaves the way it does at the instruction level, or what breaks when you deviate from convention. This volume of The Art of 64-Bit Assembly closes the gap between a plausible explanation and genuine understanding.Every chapter takes a construct youve used in C++, Python, or Rust, strips away the runtime, and rebuilds it from scratch in MASM, running under Windows. Objects, exceptions, closures, coroutines, concurrency: Each is dissected at the instruction level, with every decision made visible and explicit.What youll build: Object-oriented programs in MASM: vtables, method dispatch, and inheritance, from scratch by hand Windows structured exception handling (SEH) installed and managed at the instruction level Thunks, closures, and iterators that behave like higher-order functions Coroutines, generators, and fibers without resorting to HLL code Concurrent programs with real synchronization primitives, directly from assembly Unicode string handling done correctly, at the level where most code gets it wrong Domain-specific macro languages inside MASM, built from first principles If you already know assembly and want to stop taking the hard parts on faith, this is the book.

From New York Times bestselling author Dana Suskind, a timely, urgent guide to parenting in the age of artificial intelligenceand protecting what matters most in childhood"A powerful, science-based case for why childrens developing minds need real human relationships." Jonathan Haidt"Hope is not lost. Its right here. If there is a young person in your life, Human Raised is for you." Angela Duckworth As AI enters nurseries, playrooms, and classrooms, parents are being sold a smart childhood at every turn. This book is a guide to protecting the most important label of all: human raised.In her groundbreaking book Thirty Million Words, Dr. Suskind revealed the extraordinary power of parent talk and interaction in building childrens brains. Now, with the advent of artificial intelligence, the stakes of that nurturing interaction have become even clearer. New AI applications demonstrate what technology can replicatebut they also illuminate what it cannot: the capacity of human interaction to build not just childrens skills but their very capacity for human connection.Human Raised reveals the possibilities and perils of using AI and related technologies for child-rearing. From monitors that decode cries, to smart cribs that soothe babies to sleep, to interactive chatbots designed to engage an inquisitive toddler, the parenting landscape is shifting fastand Dr. Suskind helps parents navigate this uncharted territory with clarity and confidence.Readers will learn four guiding principles for raising children alongside AI: Human connection is irreplaceable Own your imperfections Protect the early years Enhancedont replaceconnection The book also offers a concrete evaluation framework to help parents (and anyone shaping childrens environments) assess individual technologies, along with evidence-based guidance for fostering the skills children will need to thrive in an AI-driven future. Critical thinking, empathy, creativity, and resilience form what Suskind calls the Human Edgecapabilities no algorithm can replicate and no artificial teacher can cultivate.Drawing from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and the lived experience of countless families, Human Raised prepares parents to act as essential guardians to the gateway between AI and their childrens developing mindskeeping human connection, in all its beautiful imperfection, at the center of childhood.

From cave paintings and clay tablets to the algorithmic state, this groundbreaking 11,000 year history argues that information has always been the seed of power. Perfect for readers of Nexus and The Age of Surveillance Capitalism.This brilliant, readable book offers a striking new historical perspectiveProfessor Corinne Fowler, author of Our Island StoriesLong before writing existed, at the dawn of civilisation in Mesopotamia, rulers pressed marks into clay to keep track of land, people and grain. To rule, they had to keep count. It is no accident, then, that the first written name in human history was neither a god nor a king, but an accountant.As ships and navigation expanded our horizons, a new age of European empires took control of more than 80 per cent of the worlds surface, using censuses, maps and ledgers to decide who belonged, who owed, and who could be sacrificed. Today, we live in the third great era, when trading our information for access can feel harmless or inevitable yet from targeted advertising to border policing and mass surveillance, data shapes the course of our lives.Drawing on stories from ancient cave markings and knotted strings to colonial record-keeping and the algorithmic state, Dartmouth professor Roopika Risam reveals how data has always been the seed of power: a technology of control that has shaped civilizations and upheld empires. Provocative, humane and sweeping in scope, Data Empire asks us to recognise the power data has always held and to imagine what resistance looks like in an age defined by it, so that we might remake the modern world for the benefit of all.
