You are invited into this true and compelling story of an American Anti-Vaxxer. She lets you into her extraordinary world of thoughts, lifestyle, daily life, social trends, hope, and vaccine research.

This is the first book of its kind. You will get to the last page wanting more, and feeling inspired. An encouraging journey that you don't want to miss out on.

How will Artificial Intelligence affect crime, war, justice, jobs, society, and our very sense of being human? The rise of AI has the potential to transform our future more than any other technology. Max Tegmark, an MIT professor who's helped mainstream research on how to keep AI beneficial, is uniquely qualified to explore this future.

How can we grow our prosperity through automation without leaving people lacking income or purpose? What career advice should we give today's kids? How can we make future AI systems more robust, so that they do what we want without crashing, malfunctioning, or getting hacked?

Should we fear an arms race in lethal autonomous weapons? Will machines eventually outsmart us at all tasks, replacing humans on the job market and perhaps altogether? Will AI help life flourish like never before or give us more power than we can handle?

What sort of future do you want? This book empowers you to join what may be the most important conversation of our time. It doesn't shy away from the full range of viewpoints or from the most controversial issues—from superintelligence to meaning, consciousness, and the ultimate physical limits on life in the cosmos.

A preeminent scientist - and the world's most prominent atheist - asserts the irrationality of belief in God, and the grievous harm religion has inflicted on society, from the Crusades to 9/11.

With rigor and wit, Dawkins examines God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament, to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion, and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence.

The God Delusion makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just wrong, but potentially deadly. It also offers exhilarating insight into the advantages of atheism to the individual and society, not the least of which is a clearer, truer appreciation of the universe's wonders than any faith could ever muster.

Totalitarizmin kendini yeniden üretmesi, yalnızca baskıcı güçlerin zora dayalı yöntemleriyle değil, bireylerin de sınırlı bir özgürlüğe razı olmasıyla gerçekleşir. Yaratıcılığını zorlayarak özgürlüğünü zenginleştirme çabasına girmeyen birey, var olanla yaşamayı seçer. Bu noktada düzen, bireyin onayıyla ayakta kalıyordur artık. “Seçme özgürlüğü” düzenin sunduğu çeşitlilik oranında vardır: “Ya şu ya da bu”dur. Gündüz Vassaf ise böylesi bir “seçme özgürlüğü”nün tutsaklaştırıcı yanlarına dikkat çekerek “ya hep ya da hiç”i önerir... Ve totalitarizmi ayakta tutan kimi kavramların ne denli kof olduğunu gösterir: Gündüze karşı geceden, cennete karşı cehennemden, konuşmaya karşı sessizlikten, akla karşı delilikten, anlaşmaya karşı anlaşmazlıktan... yana olur. Kahramanlığa karşı çıkar, “hain”leri savunur.

Gündüz Vassaf, “şeytanın avukatı” olarak, içimizde büyütüp yaşattığımız küçük ‘totaliter dünyalar’ımızı afişe ediyor, daha doğrusu ‘yüzümüze vuruyor’. Totalitarizmin -anne karnındaki bebeğin beslenmesi gibi- bireyle toplumu bağlayan göbek bağıyla semirdiğini, hayata ilişkin algılarımızı ve kimi dayatılan kimisini de gönüllü olarak kabul ettiğimiz kavramları irdeleyerek gösteriyor. Cehenneme Övgü, yazarın kendiyle hesaplaştığı, herkesi de hesaplaşmaya çağıran, hatta kışkırtan bir kitap.

Still Life with Woodpecker is a sort of a love story that takes place inside a pack of Camel cigarettes. It reveals the purpose of the moon, explains the difference between criminals and outlaws, examines the conflict between social activism and romantic individualism, and paints a portrait of contemporary society that includes powerful Arabs, exiled royalty, and pregnant cheerleaders. It also deals with the problem of redheads.
