Rules for Eternity
by John Hunter
Rules for Eternity attempts to marry the science-of-the-day with the unanswerable questions, thus providing a convincing case for No Beginning or End.
Are you there God? It's me, Darwin.
by Jacob Johnson
Why are we cruel? Why are we kind? Charles Darwin, the father of modern biology, wrestled with these very questions in order to explain the human race, struggling to fit a loving God into a harsh and challenging world. Animal behavior scientist and evolutionary biologist Jacob Johnson's entertaining new take on Darwin's work explores his crisis of faith, the origin of morality and the evolution of "good" and "evil." From trees that help their neighbors to whales that mount daring rescues, Joh... more
Are We AI?: A Conversation with ChatGPT on AI Current and Future
by Michael Ruhl Frank, Ph.D.
In thinking about AI, I’ve become increasingly intrigued with where it might lead. And I’ve wondered if, in fact, it might eventually lead back to us. Are we actually AI? I decided maybe having the perspective of AI from an AI would be illuminating. This book is therefore framed as a conversation with ChatGPT. My goal in this work is to help non-practitioners understand the current state, and potential future, of AI as portrayed by an AI. My hope is through understanding my readers will beco... more
Technology and the Common Good: The Unity and Division of a Democratic Society
by Allen Batteau
Building on the work of Elinor Ostrom (Governing the Commons) the author examines how the different shared goods of a democratic society are shaped by technology and demonstrates how club goods, common pool resources, and public goods are supported, enhanced, and disrupted by technology. He further argues that as the common good is undermined by different interests, it should be possible to reclaim technology, if the members of the society conclude that they have something in common.
Tools, Totems, and Totalities: The Modern Construction of Hegemonic Technology (2024)
by Allen Batteau and Christine Z. Miller
This book provides a critical perspective on technology, answering the questions of why technologies often disappoint. It takes a sociotechnical and historical perspective on technology, as developed by an engineer–anthropologist and a design anthropologist, to answer questions not only about why modern societies have great expectations of technology, but also of why these technologies often fail to meet expectations. Modern societies often search for technological solutions (“technofixes”) to w... more

On the Origin of Being: Understanding the Science of Evolution to Enhance Your Quality of Life
by Jenny Powers, PhD
"On the Origin of Being" pays homage to Charles Darwin by offering an evolutionary answer to the question, “How do we live a good life?” When humans live in accord with their evolutionary design, we experience health and well-being, however, most modern humans live in discord. By tracing the evolutionary origins of many behaviors from single-celled organisms to hunter-gatherers, the authors not only reveal how modernity disrupts them but also how to realign with our prim... more
Artificial Bodies: How Machines Replace People
by Remmelt Ellen
Corporations are experimenting with AI. Humans are the test subjects.

Ethics researchers are furious: ‘Stop imitating people by chatbot. Don’t harm by hyping its power.’
Safety researchers are pleading: ‘Stop building ever larger robots. Don’t risk us all losing control.’

Researchers are divided even over what artificial intelligence is.
Deeper things are taking root beneath: artificial bodies.

Conspiracy by Means of Natural Selection
by Sherman P. Bastarache
The main objective in writing this book is to establish a naturally selected means for which conspiring became established in human nature. What was the initial driving factor for natural selection to act on? If we do not understand how nature generated our minds, we will never understand why we form conspiracy theories, purposely moulded to our beliefs.
Second to that prime query, I examine social culture as a means of learning about nature. Every ancient culture had its gods and godde... more

The analytical journey follows the human experience from ancient infancy to modern institutions; from Roman wisdom to artificial intelligence. It concludes that our fundamental drives are pushing us down a dark path, destroying our spirituality, and leading to potentially apocalyptic results. Death Sickness exhorts us to wake up to our predicament, embrace ou... more
