What's True, What's Hype, and What We Should Actually Worry About

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.

An Introduction

The Metaverse and Metaverse Tourism

Futureproof your creativity by developing the intelligence machines cannot replicate Exotic Thinking: How to Stay Brilliant in the Age of AI introduces exotic intelligence, a framework that uses the strange, peripheral, and foreign as systematic cognitive technologies to preserve the human creative edge. Sarah DaVanzo, Chief Innovation Officer at Porter Novelli and the world's first certified curiosity coach, whose methodologies have collectively generated over one billion dollars in revenue, delivers a blueprint for the next industrial revolution. Exotic Thinking presents the actionable E.X.P.L.O.R.A.T.I.O.N. technique alongside exotic training drills that help professionals and teams develop fusion skills and transform incongruous connections into breakthrough innovations. Drawing on methods from Hermeticism and alchemy to engineer systematic serendipity, DaVanzo blends Extended Intelligence with deliberate anomalous inputs to produce results that optimization alone cannot achieve. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>A radical framework for exotic intelligence that systematically leverages the unfamiliar, peripheral, and foreign to spark breakthrough creative thinking</li> <li>Practical exotic training drills designed for professionals and teams seeking to develop fusion skills that machines cannot replicate</li> <li>Methods drawn from mysticism, myth, and alchemy that deliberately engineer anomalous inputs and systematic serendipity into the innovation process</li> <li>Real-world case studies, including a TIME Magazine Innovation of the Year, demonstrating how exotic intelligence produces measurable commercial results</li> <li>Strategies for blending AI-powered Extended Intelligence with uniquely human creativity to futureproof your professional value and competitive advantage</li> </ul> Exotic Thinking serves business leaders, innovators, and Fortune 500 professionals seeking to maintain their creative relevance as AI reshapes every industry. By providing structured techniques that cultivate uniquely human cognitive capabilities, this book equips readers to generate the novel, incongruous ideas that algorithms cannot produce through optimization alone.

How to Stay Brilliant in the Age of AI

Exotic Thinking

When an AI initiative dies, the machine takes the blame. It's almost always the wrong suspect. Every executive who has quietly shelved an AI project has the same explanation ready: the model underperformed, the vendor oversold, the technology "wasn't there yet." In Prevail: What Leaders Must Do Now That Machines Can't Manage, Dr. Tim Bottke argues that this story is a convenient way to avoid the real culprit - a chain of management decisions made long before anyone trained a model. The bug isn't in the technology. It's in us. Bottke turns two decades of decision data into a working diagnostic. PREVAIL starts at the ground floor, where leaders reach for the tool before they've named the problem, and moves up through data, experimentation, ownership, measurement, funding, and governance. The uncomfortable finding is that the damage concentrates on the ground floor and compounds as management builds on those decisions.&nbsp; Readers will discover: <ul> <li>Why AI initiatives fail and how to course correct before the budget is committed</li> <li>Chapter checklists that allow for a working audit</li> <li>Action lists for the operator fixing a rollout, the executive shaping a portfolio, and the board member or investor stress-testing a proposal</li> <li>The one question that predicts success better than anything: what problem does this solve?</li> <li>Composite case studies based on public filings that show each failure pattern in the wild, and the fix that would have caught it</li> <li>A shared vocabulary for boards, investors, and operators to pressure-test any AI proposal</li> <li>What the market actually does when companies admit an AI failure&nbsp;</li> </ul> &nbsp; Prevail is written for those who need something firmer than hype to judge what's in front of them.&nbsp;

Crypto crises examines how the cryptocurrency industry has become a powerful force in global capitalism. Far from the promise of decentralisation, it reveals how crypto is deepening social inequality, fuelling environmental destruction, and reshaping political power. Drawing on extensive research and vivid examples, the book traces the rise of a new class of "crypto-capitalists" - from billionaire investors and mining conglomerates to populist politicians - who are embedding digital assets at the heart of finance and governance. It exposes the hidden networks of influence linking crypto to Wall Street, Big Tech, and the Global South, where exploitation is reframed as innovation. Provocative and timely, the book offers a critical account of how cryptocurrency's dream of liberation became one of the defining engines of twenty-first-century capitalism.

Urgent stories from the intersection of automation and social welfare, told by people around the world fighting for access and resources to care for themselves and loved ones 
 
Welfare systems across the globe have long been set up to punish those who need them to access support. But we're entering a new era where automation and punitive policy make social provision even worse-systems are increasingly computerized, impersonal, and difficult to navigate. 
 
Offering an intimate look at what it means to rely on public services in an ever more alienating world, Not a Number shares sixteen first-person narratives from around the world, as people struggle for access to basic needs with dignity.&nbsp; 
 
Read about Sara Peavey, a young woman in Albuquerque who spent years battling what she calls the "Department of Decisions" in order to receive mental health care; Lucy, a mother in the UK forced to attend child protective hearings and bond with her toddler over Zoom during the COVID-19 lockdowns; John Otajar, an elder in rural Uganda denied social benefits because administrators assigned him an incorrect birth date; and María Medina in Colombia, who was suddenly removed from the category of "poor" by a change to a classification algorithm, losing access to health care and income support.&nbsp; 
 
Together, these stories call us to build systems grounded in dignity, care, and real human connection-so that no one is reduced to a number or data point.

The Rise of the Tech Giants

'I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter into one of the most creative periods of my life.' Steve JobsSteve Jobs in Exile tells the largely unexplored story of the dozen years Steve Jobs spent building NeXt in the aftermath of his firing from Apple, the company he founded, in 1985. This period would see Jobs at his most creative, vulnerable and intense. It would redefine him as a designer and a leader, ultimately leading to the later resurgence and dominance of Apple following his triumphant return. Yet this crucial period remains woefully under-covered. Award-winning writer Geoffrey Cain changes that.Utilising a trove of new material, including dozens of hours of unbroadcast footage of Jobs at NeXT's meetings and retreats, new interviews and unpublished oral histories with Jobs and his colleagues, new first-hand material and countless internal documents, Steve Jobs in Exile is the definitive history of the most remarkable period in the life of Steve Jobs.

Companies are buying, selling, and managing AI as if it were software. But AI does not behave like software—and that mismatch is quietly fracturing growth models, org structures, metrics, dashboards, and investment decisions across the global enterprise. While organizations can track what they are spending on AI models and infrastructure, few have the commercial, organizational, and operational architecture to answer the era's hardest questions: How do we accurately price and capture the value of intelligent outcomes? How do we redesign our workforce and talent models beyond naive headcount cuts? How do we prove, measure, and scale real return across an enterprise built for human-operated software, not intelligent systems? In Quantware, technology pricing strategist Esra Kucukciftci reveals that these enterprise roadblocks are not temporary growing pains. They are the evidence of a fundamental economic paradigm shift from software to quantware: a new system of value creation that is dynamic, distributed, and continually evolving. This paradigm shift fundamentally rewrites the commercial and operational models. Where software sells tools, static features, and user access, quantware commercializes verifiable outcomes. It redefines what customers pay for, how providers prove performance, how contracts assign risk and revenue, and how enterprises evaluate true return on intelligent systems (ROIS). Kucukciftci outlines the blueprint for redesigning the enterprise around this post-software reality. She details the transition from Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to Resolution-as-a-Service (RaaS), along with new approaches to AI outcome economics and dynamic contracts. Crucially, she introduces a new organizational design—The Dynamic Firm— built to align human talent with machine delivery alongside the PROVE framework to govern intelligent value creation at scale. Drawing on her experience advising global enterprise technology companies, private equity portfolios, and high-growth ventures, Kucukciftci addresses both sides of the post-software economy: the technology providers building AI offerings, and the enterprise leaders tasked with buying, implementing, and governing them. For leaders who know AI will reshape their business but lack the commercial, organizational, and operational models for what comes next, Quantware provides the language, architecture, and practical playbook to compete and win in the post-software era.

The first analysis of how AI, robotics, and genetic engineering converge to reshape civilization Most analyses of technological disruption examine AI, robotics, or genetic engineering in isolation. A Perfect World: The Unintended Consequences of the AI, Robotics and Biotech Revolution is the first work to analyze their inevitable convergence and the societal consequences it creates. William Nobrega, a Deloitte alumnus and Army Special Forces veteran who advises Fortune 500 companies on disruption strategies, introduces what he calls the "holy trinity of disruption." Drawing on extensive research, expert interviews, and historical analysis spanning 50,000 years of human development, A Perfect World examines where these three technologies stand today and where expert consensus places them in fifteen years. Nobrega applies basic economic principles to reveal how their interaction effects will create impacts far exceeding what each technology produces independently, potentially yielding a bifurcated world. Readers will also find: <ul> <li>A framework for understanding how AI, robotics, and genetic engineering convergence will reshape industries and global labor markets</li> <li>Analysis of how genetic engineering may enable designed physical characteristics, disease elimination, and IQ augmentation within the coming decades</li> <li>Exploration of both utopian and dystopian outcomes grounded in military, corporate consulting, and academic research perspectives</li> <li>Historical parallels including examination of modern connections to Orwell's 1984 and the origins of human communication</li> <li>Analytical tools for business leaders and policymakers navigating what robotic labor replacement means for low-skilled workforces globally</li> </ul> Written for business leaders, policymakers, and informed citizens seeking to understand how the convergence of AI, robotics, and genetic engineering will transform their industries and society, A Perfect World provides the frameworks and analytical tools necessary to navigate the most consequential technological transformation in human history.
