Quantum Supremacy How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything by Michio Kaku

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An exhilarating tour of humanity's next great technological achievement—quantum computing—which may supercharge artificial intelligence, solve some of humanity's biggest problems, like global warming, world hunger, and incurable disease, and eventually illuminate the deepest mysteries of science, by the bestselling author of The God Equation. • “Expertly describes and rectifies common misconceptions about quantum computing." —Science "[Kaku's] lucid prose and thought process make abundant sense of this technological turning point.” —The New York Times Book Review The runaway success of the microchip may finally be reaching its end. As shrinking transistors approach the size of atoms, the phenomenal growth of computational power inevitably collapses. But this change heralds the birth of a revolutionary new type of computer, one that calculates on atoms themselves. Quantum computers promise unprecedented gains in computing power, enabling advancements that could overturn every aspect of our daily lives. While the media has mainly focused on their startling potential to crack any known encryption method, the race is already on to exploit their incredible power to revolutionize industry. Automotive makers, medical researchers, and consulting firms are all betting on quantum computing to design more efficient vehicles, create life-saving new drugs, and streamline businesses. But this is only the beginning. Quantum computing could be used to decode the complex chemical processes needed to produce cheap fertilizers and unleash a second Green Revolution; create a super battery that will enable the Solar Age; or design nuclear fusion reactors to generate clean, safe, renewable energy. It may even unravel the fiendishly difficult protein folding that lies at the heart of as-yet-incurable diseases like Alzheimer’s, ALS, and Parkinson’s. Already, quantum computers are being put to work to help solve the greatest mystery in science—the origin of the universe. There is no single problem humanity faces that might not be addressed by quantum computers. With his signature clarity and enthusiasm, Dr. Michio Kaku, who has spent his entire professional life working on the quantum theory, tells the thrilling story of this exciting scientific frontier and the race to claim humanity’s future.

AI for Good - Josh Tyrangiel Cover Art

AI for Good

AI for Good How Real People Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Fix Things That Matter by Josh Tyrangiel

In contrast to the wave of noisy polemics around AI, AI For Good explores how, in practice, it can actually improve our lives and tells the stories of everyday citizens at the forefront of this new “AI entrepreneurship.” AI is often framed as a force of radical transformation, either catapulting us into a utopian future or dragging us toward existential ruin. But this book tells a different story. It’s not about high-profile tech CEOs who want to use AI to “break shit,” but about a bunch of smart pragmatists using AI to make the world better. Josh Tyrangiel’s journey into AI began with a late-night YouTube video featuring General Gustave Perna, the retired four-star general who orchestrated the distribution of Covid vaccines during Operation Warp Speed. Perna’s success—and the end of the pandemic—depended on AI’s practical ability to synthesize and standardize vast amounts of logistical data. AI wasn’t the hero of the story—it was the tool that helped real people get things done. This book follows those people, who make up a kind of AI counterculture. It explores AI’s quiet revolution in government services, medicine, education, and human connection—places where it’s being used to amplify human judgment rather than replace it. It tells the stories of teachers, doctors, and bureaucrats who often stumbled into AI as a means to solve specific, tangible problems, often with no prior software expertise. While the loudest voices in AI debate doomsday scenarios and trillion-dollar market opportunities, this book focuses on those working in the messy, incremental, but deeply impactful space of AI practice. However, there is one big caveat—success is not guaranteed. Change is hard. Institutions move slowly. But even in failure there are lessons for everyone who’s interested in using AI—carefully, thoughtfully—to build a better world today.

A Hacker's Mind - Bruce Schneier Cover Art

A Hacker's Mind

A Hacker's Mind How the Powerful Bend Society's Rules, and How to Bend them Back by Bruce Schneier

“A Hacker's Mind…sheds vital light on the beginnings of our journey into an increasingly complex world.” —Financial Times It’s not just computers—hacking is everywhere. Legendary cybersecurity expert and New York Times best-selling author Bruce Schneier reveals how using a hacker’s mindset can change how you think about your life and the world. A hack is any means of subverting a system’s rules in unintended ways. The tax code isn’t computer code, but a series of complex formulas. It has vulnerabilities; we call them “loopholes.” We call exploits “tax avoidance strategies.” And there is an entire industry of “black hat” hackers intent on finding exploitable loopholes in the tax code. We call them accountants and tax attorneys. In A Hacker’s Mind, Bruce Schneier takes hacking out of the world of computing and uses it to analyze the systems that underpin our society: from tax laws to financial markets to politics. He reveals an array of powerful actors whose hacks bend our economic, political, and legal systems to their advantage, at the expense of everyone else. Once you learn how to notice hacks, you’ll start seeing them everywhere—and you’ll never look at the world the same way again. Almost all systems have loopholes, and this is by design. Because if you can take advantage of them, the rules no longer apply to you. Unchecked, these hacks threaten to upend our financial markets, weaken our democracy, and even affect the way we think. And when artificial intelligence starts thinking like a hacker—at inhuman speed and scale—the results could be catastrophic. But for those who would don the “white hat,” we can understand the hacking mindset and rebuild our economic, political, and legal systems to counter those who would exploit our society. And we can harness artificial intelligence to improve existing systems, predict and defend against hacks, and realize a more equitable world.

Ethical Hacking for All - Joe Grant Cover Art

Ethical Hacking for All

Ethical Hacking for All Complete A to Z Tips and Tricks to Ethical Hacking Mastering by Joe Grant

When you think of hacking, what might come to your mind are complex codes and scripts that only geniuses can understand. Again, the notion created by the media is that malicious people only do hacking for their personal gains. However, hacking doesn't have to be complex, and it does not have to be done for malicious reasons. Ethical hacking, used interchangeably with pen-testing, is the type of hacking where you have permission to hack into a system to expose vulnerabilities and suggest ways to seal these vulnerabilities to make your client's system more secure. This book explains all you need to know to conduct an ethical hack, either internally or externally. In this book, you will find: ·      Introduction to Hacking - Understand the basic terms used in hacking and the different categories of hacking. ·      Linux Basis - Because Linux is the best OS for hackers, we have discussed some of the basic features and tools you will need to be a successful ethical hacker. The Linux BackTrack distro, which was developed for hackers, is discussed in depth. ·      Information gathering techniques - This is the first step in ethical gathering. You will learn how to collect information directly from your targets (active information gathering) and indirectly (passive information gathering) and the tools you use to do that. ·      Enumerating Targets and Scanning Ports - This is an advanced stage in information gathering where you find out more details about the host, open ports, OS, and running services, among other details. ·      Assessing Target's Vulnerability - Here, you will learn about different vulnerability scanners and how to use them to find a gateway into the target's system. ·      Sniffing the Target's Network - This chapter teaches how to find more details about the target's network and how to place yourself in the middle of the target's network to gather more information. ·      Server Side Exploitation - Exploitation stage is where you now gain access to the target's system. In server-side exploitation, you exploit the hosts and services on the target's system. ·      Client-Side Exploitation - Here, you will learn how to compromise users on a network, including how to crack passwords based on information gathered during information gathering stage. ·      Post-Exploitation/Exploiting the Target Further - In this chapter, you will learn how to maintain access on the target's computer, accessing more details, compromising more targets on the same network as your first target, and escalating privileges. You only need basic computer skills and knowledge on how to use the command prompt in order to use this book. Most of the tools are launched and used through the command line on BackTrack. Don't be intimidated! It's a fun journey and we'll walk you through every step.

Inside, you'll discover how to: •Understand IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, and choose the right deployment models for your workloads. •Design cloud network architectures with VNets/VPCs, subnets, load balancers, DNS, and traffic management. •Apply core cloud security principles: IAM, network security controls, data protection, and compliance. •Implement zero‑trust concepts in multi‑cloud environments using strong identity and least‑privilege access. •Use hands‑on labs (console, CLI, and infrastructure‑as‑code) to build and secure cloud networking step by step. •Compare on‑premises vs. cloud architectures, plan migrations, and avoid common misconfiguration pitfalls. •Explore advanced topics such as cloud‑native security tools, SASE/ZTNA, AI‑driven security operations, and emerging regulations. You'll also find: •Part‑by‑part exercises with answer keys to reinforce learning. •Labs and case studies focused on real adoption, cost control, and security incidents. •An IAM cheat sheet you can reuse in day‑to‑day cloud security design. Whether you are a network engineer, security analyst, cloud architect, or an IT professional transitioning to the cloud, this book gives you the practical foundation and patterns you need to design secure, scalable cloud network architectures with confidence.

Generative AI for Beginners: A Hands-On, No-Jargon Playbook: Prompts, Projects & Practical Workflows

Generative AI for Beginners: A Hands-On, No-Jargon Playbook: Prompts, Projects & Practical Workflows by Himanshoo Jaiswal

Generative AI for Beginners is the practical, no-fluff playbook that gets you from curiosity to useful results — fast. If you've tried generative tools and left frustrated by vague advice, flaky outputs, or unclear next steps, this book gives you a repeatable path that actually works. You'll learn a compact set of habits and reproducible prompts that turn ideas into finished assets: publishable short articles, hero images that read at thumbnail size, and small automations that turn meeting transcripts into decisions and calendar invites. Every chapter is hands-on: copy-and-paste prompts, short projects you can finish in an afternoon, debugging rituals that catch hallucinations early, and safety rules that reduce legal risk. Inside you'll find: • A 10-minute Quick Start with a 1-page "Mastercode" universal prompt. • Six bite-size projects (writing, images, automation) with exact prompts and sample outputs. • A prompt library and downloadable companion pack (200 ready-to-use prompts, cheat sheets, templates) accessible via the QR code in the back. • Practical checklists for fact-checking, copyright, and ethical use so you publish with confidence. • A capstone mini-project that ties text, image, and automation into a one-page launch kit. This book avoids heavy math and academic theory — it's written for busy creators, teachers, marketers, and founders who want to get work done with modern tools. Read it once to learn the methods; keep it on your desk to do the work. — Himanshoo JaiswalJaiswal

The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI - Cory Doctorow Cover Art

The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI

The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI How to Think About Artificial Intelligence—Before It's Too Late by Cory Doctorow

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER National Indie Bestseller "[Doctorow] resembles the great rock critics of an earlier era, a high-tech Greil Marcus or even a Lester Bangs." —Stephen Marche, The New York Times Book Review A short, provocative guide to what's good, bad, and stupid about AI and the discourse around AI, by the author of Enshittification . In modern tech parlance, a centaur is a person who is able to use technology to be a better, more productive version of themself. A reverse centaur is a person who is forced by technology to work at an inhuman pace—a driver made to deliver all day long, nonstop; a warehouse worker made to work without food or bathroom breaks; a programmer made to crank out impossible amounts of code. The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI is not another anti-AI screed. Cory Doctorow uses AI in his work every day. As a creative person, he has no moral or dogmatic issue with AI—he thinks the technology is useful, even exciting, and full of potential. And yet. AI has arrived surrounded by unprecedented hype driven by a tech industry desperate to maintain its unprecedented valuation based on its own promises of endless financial growth. Despite the fact that almost all of AI’s real-world implementations have proved underwhelming, AI is projected to be worth more than $16 trillion—a number that only makes sense if AI replaces vast swathes of the wage-earning human workforce. To justify that level of “value,” every story about AI must be presented as inevitable, world-changing disruption. Even the tales of the robot apocalypse are a calculated attempt to bolster the fearsome power of AI. For Doctorow, it is imperative to see through that hype to the real story, to understand the technology not just for what it does, but for who it does it to and who it does it for. From that point of view, the story of AI is indeed dramatic and unprecedented, having generated an investment bubble so big that it endangers the entire world economy. In The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI —as he so successfully did in Enshittification —Doctorow recounts both how we found ourselves in this dire situation and how we can get through it, to a life “after” AI in which the tools work for us, not the other way around.

The God Test - Robert Wright Cover Art

The God Test

The God Test Artificial Intelligence and Our Coming Cosmic Reckoning by Robert Wright

From bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize finalist Robert Wright comes a sweeping new view of artificial intelligence—as an evolutionary force that will pose deep political and spiritual challenges and could, in the process, give our species a unifying sense of purpose. The God Test is the first book to capture the power behind the AI revolution—to clearly explain the breakthroughs that sparked the current wave of advance and compellingly show why this wave will grow in magnitude and meaning. Written by one of our foremost public intellectuals, and informed by his decades of chronicling the digital age, the book argues that we are about to witness the most abruptly dramatic social transformation in the history of our species. Wright says that to truly understand this moment in technological history, we need to expand our perspective beyond the last century or even the whole history of technology and look back across billions of years of life on Earth. The advance of AI, he argues, is driven by evolutionary dynamics like those that led to intelligent life in the first place. And understanding those dynamics can empower us to confront our climactic challenge: Can we muster the political, moral, and even spiritual resources needed to guide this technology wisely? If we fail, the consequences for the whole planet could be grave. But if we meet the challenge—if we pass “the God test”—we can live in a world where humanity thrives, finding not just happiness but deeper meaning and purpose. The very machines that might otherwise imperil or oppress us can enrich us, helping us transcend the psychological impediments to human concord and fulfillment.

Code The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold

The classic guide to how computers work, updated with new chapters and interactive graphics "For me, Code was a revelation. It was the first book about programming that spoke to me. It started with a story, and it built up, layer by layer, analogy by analogy, until I understood not just the Code, but the System. Code is a book that is as much about Systems Thinking and abstractions as it is about code and programming. Code teaches us how many unseen layers there are between the computer systems that we as users look at every day and the magical silicon rocks that we infused with lightning and taught to think." - Scott Hanselman, Partner Program Director, Microsoft, and host of Hanselminutes Computers are everywhere, most obviously in our laptops and smartphones, but also our cars, televisions, microwave ovens, alarm clocks, robot vacuum cleaners, and other smart appliances. Have you ever wondered what goes on inside these devices to make our lives easier but occasionally more infuriating? For more than 20 years, readers have delighted in Charles Petzold's illuminating story of the secret inner life of computers, and now he has revised it for this new age of computing. Cleverly illustrated and easy to understand, this is the book that cracks the mystery. You'll discover what flashlights, black cats, seesaws, and the ride of Paul Revere can teach you about computing, and how human ingenuity and our compulsion to communicate have shaped every electronic device we use. This new expanded edition explores more deeply the bit-by-bit and gate-by-gate construction of the heart of every smart device, the central processing unit that combines the simplest of basic operations to perform the most complex of feats. Petzold's companion website, CodeHiddenLanguage.com, uses animated graphics of key circuits in the book to make computers even easier to comprehend. In addition to substantially revised and updated content, new chapters include: Chapter 18:  Let's Build a Clock! Chapter 21:  The Arithmetic Logic Unit Chapter 22:  Registers and Busses Chapter 23:  CPU Control Signals Chapter 24:  Jumps, Loops, and Calls Chapter 28: The World Brain From the simple ticking of clocks to the worldwide hum of the internet, Code reveals the essence of the digital revolution.

It doesn’t just point out buttons. It explains how the entire device fits together – interface, intelligence, camera, privacy, automation, ecosystem, and long-term care – so your iPhone works like it was built specifically for you. Where free guides and quick-start PDFs skim the surface, this book goes deep without ever becoming technical for the sake of it. Each chapter is structured to move from clear fundamentals to confident mastery, showing you not only what to tap, but why it matters, when to use it, and how it changes the way you work, communicate, create, and stay safe. Inside, you’ll discover how to: – Set up your iPhone 17 Pro Max the right way from day one, with rock-solid security, backups, and safety tools that protect you before something goes wrong – Understand the new Liquid Glass Home Screen, Control Center, and notifications so your phone feels calmer, cleaner, and genuinely easier to use – not just “different” – Harness Apple Intelligence for writing, summarising, planning, and visual understanding in a way that feels natural and trustworthy, not gimmicky – Turn the triple-lens 48 MP camera system into a predictable, professional tool – with clear guidance on which lens to choose, how to build a consistent “look”, and how to shoot 4K video and Cinematic footage that actually holds up on a big screen – Build focus-friendly workflows using Shortcuts, Focus modes, and cross-app patterns that quietly remove friction from your day instead of adding complexity – Make the most of the wider Apple ecosystem – Continuity, Universal Clipboard, AirDrop, iCloud Drive, Handoff and more – so your iPhone, Mac, iPad and Watch behave like one integrated system – Solve real problems fast with pragmatic troubleshooting chapters that cover battery drain, storage pressure, overheating, app issues, network problems, resets, and recovery – without panic or guesswork – Plan for the future with clear habits for maintenance, backups, and major iOS updates, so your iPhone stays fast, organised and reliable for years, not months Every section is written with the Clarion Press philosophy: respect the device, respect the reader, and respect their time. There are no filler chapters, no recycled marketing copy, and no vague “tips and tricks” lists. Instead, you get a carefully engineered manual that feels like having a calm expert sitting beside you, walking through the exact decisions they would make on their own iPhone 17 Pro Max. If you simply want to know where things are, any basic guide will do. If you want a professional-grade, best-in-class manual that turns the most powerful iPhone into a seamless, long-term system built around your life, this is the one you buy.
