AI Applications in Modern Insurance

Transforming Risk

"The Ultraview Effect fills a crucial gap in our understanding of outer space and our need as a species to get out there. It shines a clear and persuasive light on why we need to go beyond this planet and serves as a psychological blueprint, or libretto, for how we make that happen."--Paul Levinson, coeditor of Touching the Face of the Cosmos: On the Intersection of Space Travel and Religion "Deana Weibel has put into words the fascinating perspective that I and other astronauts have had the privilege of witnessing. Looking beyond the beauty of Earth, out into the vastness of the universe, gave me a humbling glimpse into the possibilities that lie far beyond our oasis in the cosmic ocean."--John B. Herrington, retired United States Naval Aviator and former NASA astronaut "The Ultraview Effect provides a window into the dizzying vastness of the cosmos, while revealing the value of curiosity and awe in our everyday lives here on Earth."--Erika Nesvold, author of Off-Earth: Ethical Questions and Quandaries for Living in Outer Space "Awe is the fuel that powers our exploration of space. Humility keeps us grounded during the effort. The Ultraview Effect shows their importance in the space program and provides candid astronaut testimony and analysis of both these vital emotions. For the rest of us, Weibel provides helpful guidance on how to bring awe and humility into our own lives back on Earth and use it to energize our own exploratory spirit."--Jon Lomberg, Design Director for NASA's Voyager Golden Record "How do you express the inexpressible? The Ultraview Effect explores our shared human desire to transform brief flashes of insight and awe into a deeper understanding of our place in the grand scheme of the universe."--Jonathan H. Ward, coauthor of Through the Glass Ceiling to the Stars: The Story of the First American Woman to Command a Space Mission

What We Can Learn from Astronauts about Awe, Humility, and Exploring the Unknown

The Ultraview Effect

Materialising the Digital

Where and how we pay is changing dramatically. This timely, innovative book navigates the so-called 'Cambrian explosion' of FinTech companies and more specifically to the emergence of Blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies through the lens of the case of Ripple, a company in the field of cryptoassets and cross-border payments. Combining STS with human geography and political economy, it navigates the maelstrom of proliferating new and old payment infrastructure, to develop a theoretical and empirical 'infrastructural inversion' of money. Money does not just flow through or behave like an infrastructure, but rather it is an infrastructure, because it is predicated upon the existence of accounting and payment infrastructures of memory for its very existence. Using the concepts of active forms and dispositions from design and architecture, this nuanced book analyses how money's infrastructures act in the world materially, spatially, as objects and subjects of desire and as political and economic machines. If we want new forms of money for new forms of society, we need to think holistically and ecologically about the complex combinations of materiality, space, desire and political economies that money generates and propagates. Tracing the trajectory of a cryptoasset project from an alternative credit system to an interbank, cross-border company, the book moves beyond a Bitcoin-centric view of money. It reveals how alternative and mainstream, networked and sovereign forms of money have long been intertwined.

An ecology of materiality, space, desires and power

Money’s infrastructures

Meanwhile Back on Earth

Sakunja Salazar had it all. Money, toys, women, and all the drugs money could buy. A breakout Holo influencer, seemingly overnight she lifted her family out of their tiny Mexico City apartment and into the world of the rich and famous. That all changed when she hopped on a rocket and blasted into the cosmos, never to hawk lavender moisturizer again. What goes up must come down, and when Sakunja finally crashed back down on Mars an alcoholic, addict, and has-been she thought her life was pretty much over. That is, until a magazine editor discovered her photography and offered her a job. Now, she's the resident documentarian on a barebones expedition seeking to be the first humans to witness rain on Mars. For the first time in her life, Sakunja is turning the spotlight on someone else-interviewing her fellow travelers about what brought them to join this incredibly foolhardy crew of souls adrift in a world of danger and awe. And what they discover, both in their stories and their journey, will be more incredible than they could have ever imagined.

Star Wars

Don’t miss the exclusive content in this thrilling adaptation of&nbsp;Solo: A Star Wars Story, with scenes from alternate versions of the script including Han Solo’s time in the Imperial Navy, Qi’ra’s past, the beginnings of the rebellion, and more! &nbsp; Though Han Solo has thrilled Star Wars fans for decades, the notorious wisecracking scoundrel was chasing adventure and dodging trouble long before he walked into the cantina at Mos Eisley spaceport. &nbsp; Young Han dreams of someday soaring into space at the helm of his own starship and leaving his home, the gritty industrial planet Corellia, far behind. But as long as he’s trapped in a life of poverty and crime—and under the thumb of the sinister Lady Proxima and her brutal street gang—reaching the distant stars seems impossible. When Han tries to escape with his girlfriend and partner-in-crime, Qi’ra, he makes it out—but she doesn’t. Desperate for a way to find his own offworld vessel and free her, Han enlists in the Imperial Navy—the last place for a rebellious loner who doesn’t play well with others. &nbsp; When the Empire clips his wings, Han goes rogue and plunges into the shady world of smugglers, gamblers, and con artists. There he meets the charming and cunning high roller Lando Calrissian, makes an unlikely friend in a cantankerous Wookiee called Chewbacca, and first lays eyes on the Millennium Falcon. To snag his piece of the outlaw pie, Han joins a crew of pirates to pull off a risky heist. The stakes are high, the danger is great, and the odds are slim. But never tell Han Solo the odds. Praise for Solo: A Star Wars Story “Mur Lafferty has given us the best adaptation of a Star Wars film yet.”—Star Wars News Net &nbsp; “If you liked the movie but were left wanting more, this novel has exactly what you need.”—CNET &nbsp; “A fun adventure tale within the larger Star Wars franchise that goes beyond the run-of-the-mill novelization treatment to explore a new bit of the world that we haven’t yet seen.”—The Verge

The Grand Journey from 'ANU' to 'AI

ATOM TO AI

This book maps out the moral, legal and societal issues brought forth by the use of autonomous systems such as AI and smart robots in outer space.

Humanity is on the brink of a new space era in which projects for permanent human colonies on the Moon and space missions with autonomous AI systems will soon become a reality. Principles and provisions of international space law fall increasingly short in tackling this scenario. Experts and institutions have recommended improvements to the legal framework, such as new international agreements, or policies that would not require any amendment to conventional law. Most of the time, such proposals and recommendations overlook the challenges posed by technology and how autonomous and intelligent systems in outer space require moral and legal standards of their own. 

This book argues that the traditional focus on satellite communications, space-related services, and the appropriability of celestial resources needs to be integrated by new laws of outer space regulating cybersecurity law and environmental law, data governance and consumer protection. The new laws of outer space will increasingly concern the development of new standards for the behaviour and decision-making of AI systems and smart robots, with and without humans aboard deep space missions and in next-generation colonies.

What laws shall govern us out there, in a new terra incognita? This is the question that the book sets out to answer.

Ethics, Legislation, and Governance in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

The New Laws of Outer Space

Nach dem Ende des Apollo-Projekts stagnierte die Entwicklung der Raumfahrt, und das nachfolgende Shuttle-Programm führte in eine technologische Sackgasse. Als nach 2011 die Raumfähren nicht mehr flogen, verfügten die USA über kein bemanntes Raumtransportsystem mehr. Sie waren nun auf die Unterstützung Russlands angewiesen, um Astronauten zur Internationalen Raumstation zu bringen. Den Paradigmenwechsel brachte Elon Musk mit seinem Unternehmen SpaceX. Dieses Buch analysiert die Schwächen staatlicher Vorhaben und beschreibt den kometenhaften Aufstieg der privatwirtschaftlichen Raumfahrt. Zukünftig ist der Kapitalismus der Motor für die weitere Entwicklung der Raumfahrt. Doch ohne Eigentumsrechte auf dem Mond, dem Mars und Asteroiden bleiben zentrale ökonomische Anreize blockiert. Mit einem Vorwort von Georg Kofler.

The Bones Beneath My Skin

The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series

A clear, nontechnical guide to why cryptocurrency exists, how it reshapes trust and money, and why it matters beyond speculation. How do we build trust in a digital world where institutions, platforms, and intermediaries increasingly mediate money, identity, and ownership? In Cryptocurrency and Blockchain, Marco Di Maggio offers an essential guide to cryptocurrencies and blockchains—two of the most misunderstood technological and economic transformations of the digital age. Rather than focusing on price charts, hype cycles, or programming details, Di Maggio explains why these technologies exist, what problems they attempt to solve, and why they matter for people who are not crypto insiders. Using plain language, analogies, and real-world examples, the book explains how cryptocurrencies reshape core concepts of money, property, markets, and governance. The author explores topics such as how and why Bitcoin is used as a financial fallback, what stablecoins are and how they have become critical infrastructure for global payments, and how NFTs introduced a new notion of ownership and identity on the internet. Written for curious readers, journalists, students, policymakers, and professionals, Cryptocurrency provides a conceptual framework for understanding crypto as infrastructure, not ideology—helping readers see past the noise to grasp the deeper forces reshaping money, trust, and coordination in the digital economy.
