The Desire Trilogy

The Financier, The Titan & The Stoic

'The blizzard of excitement, misinformation and pure hype around AI has driven many of us to want an honest guide. If, like me, you're one of those many, you need to read this book' BRIAN ENO Is AI going to take over the world? Have scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to replace all our jobs? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at everything? The answers to these questions, as the expert authors of The AI Con make clear, are 'no', 'they wish', 'LOL', and 'definitely not'. In fact, these fears are all symptoms of the hype being used by tech corporations to justify data theft, motivate surveillance capitalism, and devalue human creativity. Packed with real-world examples, pithy arguments and expert insights, The AI Con arms you to spot AI hype in all its guises, expose the exploitation and power-grabs it aims to hide, and push back against it at work and in your daily life. 'A book to inoculate your mind against Big Tech's AI utopian hype' Yanis Varoufakis 'Hanna and Bender provide the clearest picture yet of what AI is, what it is not, and why none of us need to accept it' Timnit Gebru 'A powerful antidote. The authors show that these technologies will serve to deepen existing inequalities, and further 'enshittify' life and work for the vast majority of people' Grace Blakeley 'Truly eye-opening. An indispensable "field manual" for those who want to fight for a more humane economy and a better society' Ha-Joon Chang 'Fascinating and thought-provoking' Johann Hari 'A must-read' Aleks Krotoski

How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want

The AI Con

The No1 Sunday Times BestsellerA Waterstones Best Politics Book 2024A Mail on Sunday 'Best Holiday Read 2024''A searing exposé' Glamour'A timely reminder of the dangers posed by men who crave power' - ObserverFrom New York Timesbestseller Maureen Callahan, a fierce, character-driven exposé of the real Kennedy Curse-the family's generations-long legacy of misogyny, murder, and mayhem-and the women who have paid the price for our obsession with Camelot.For decades, the Kennedy name has been synonymous with wealth, power, and-above all else-integrity. But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the Kennedy men's legacy of physical and psychological abuse of women, part of a tradition of toxic masculinity that spans generations and has ruined untold lives. Through scandal after scandal, the family and their defenders have managed to keep this shameful story out of the spotlight. Now, in Ask Not, bestselling journalist Maureen Callahan reveals the Kennedys' hidden history of abuse and exploitation, laying bare their rampant misogyny and restoring women to the center of the dynasty's story: from Jacqueline Onassis and Marilyn Monroe to Carolyn Bessette, Mary Richardson, Rosemary Kennedy, and many others whose names aren't nearly as well known - but rightfully should be.Drawing on years of fierce reportage and written in electric prose, Ask Not is a long-overdue reckoning with this fabled American family, showing how the Kennedy myth and their raw political power has enabled the clan's many predators while also silencing generations of traumatized women and girls. At long last, Callahan also redirects the spotlight to the women in the Kennedys' orbit, paying homage to those who freed themselves-and giving voice to the countless others who could not do the same.

Ask Not

Elements in Chinese Economy and Governance

While bribery has been extensively studied, the dynamics of personnel corruption in the public sector, often known as 'buying and selling of government offices,' remain underexplored. This form of corruption involves leaders' accepting or soliciting bribes from subordinates to influence recruitment, appointment, and promotion decisions, significantly impacting political selection and governance quality. This Element employs a dual perspective - corruption and elite mobility - to analyze the distribution of office-selling across the Chinese administrative matrix and its various forms and implications. Using two novel self-compiled datasets, it proposes a tripartite framework of performance, patronage, and purchase to reimagine political selection in China, highlighting the coexistence of multiple governance models: a meritocratic state prioritizing competence, a clientelist state emphasizing loyalty, and an investment state bound by money. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Political Selection in China Beyond Performance and Patronage

Bribery as a Third Path to Power?

Ling Li unveils the often-hidden inner workings of China's Party-state. The Chinese Communist Party has crafted and relied on an integrated regulatory system, where politics and law are fused, to govern both its internal operations and its relations with the state. Drawing on two decades of in-depth research, Li delves into the 'black box' of decision-making in the Party-state, analyzing the motivations and strategies that drive individual and institutional choices in corruption, anti-corruption investigations, and power struggles at the Politburo. This insightful book reveals the critical role of rules and institution-building within the Party, illuminates the complex relationship between corruption and regime stability, and captures the evolving dynamics of Party-state relations. A must-read for students, academics, business leaders, and policymakers alike, this book is an indispensable guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of law, politics, and governance in China and its global implications.

**The instant top 5 Sunday Times bestseller from political commentator Ash Sarkar, now available in paperback with a brand new afterword** 'One of the boldest and most exciting thinkers of her generation' NAOMI KLEIN 'Delivers its message with punch and panache ... a joy to read' GUARDIAN 'If leftists feel they have been stumbling around in the darkness, Minority Rule flicks on the light' STANDARD Minority rule (noun): an irrational fear fuelled by right-wing pundits, lobby journalists and billionaires that minority groups are displacing majority populations. We all know that the modern world is in crisis. But it's not just a crisis for the climate, or of living standards - it's a 'blame crisis'. Whether it's infighting on the left or the demonisation of immigrants on the right, there's always a new talking point to distract us from real, systemic change. Now is the time to realise that we have been duped into fighting with each other; now is the time to redirect our outrage towards those who deserve it. In Minority Rule, political commentator Ash Sarkar offers a sharp and lively reality check. Whether it's exposing the origins of the 'white working class', or examining how 'non-events' have taken over journalism, this book - now with a brand new afterword - will help you break the blame cycle for good.

Adventures in the Culture War – the instant Sunday Times bestseller

Minority Rule

Have you noticed that in more and more areas of everyday life, rather than being addressed like a mature adult, you're increasingly treated like an irresponsible child in constant need of instruction and protection? Perhaps you've experienced this feeling when passing by unnecessary health and safety signage telling you how to walk up a flight of stairs or use a handrail, or when instructed by patronising tannoy announcers to carry a bottle of water with you in hot weather? Or maybe you've spotted it on television, in the countless commercials that use babyish jingles and cutesy cartoon animals in campaigns for adult goods and services? Or it could be you've sensed your diminishing adult autonomy when being talked down to by barely educated politicians or even worse told what to think by entirely uneducated celebrities? But whenever and wherever it happens, you're left with a sinking feeling that something's not quite right; that instead of inhabiting a mature, grown-up world of foresight and experience, you've been enrolled, without your consent, into something resembling universalised adult day-care. Noticing society's creeping descent into infantilisation is one thing but understanding the roots and causes of the phenomenon is not quite so easy. In fact, one of the strange things about our infantilised world is that, while it's evident everywhere from education to the evening news, hardly anyone stops to consider how this situation came about and what it will ultimately mean for society. In this topical and vitally important new work, cultural theorist and academic Dr K J Hayward exposes the deep social, psychological, and political dangers of a world characterised by denuded adult autonomy. But importantly&nbsp;Infantilised: How Our Culture Killed Adulthood&nbsp;is no one-dimensional, unsympathetic critique. Brimming with anecdotes and examples that span everything from the normalisation of infantilism on 'reality TV' to the rise of a new class of political 'infantocrat', this comprehensive book also offers an insightful and at times humorous account of infantilism's seductive appeal. Hayward even ends on an upbeat note, with a short manifesto-style conclusion that includes ten suggestions for avoiding some of the pitfalls associated with our increasingly infantilised world.

Infantilised: How Our Culture Killed Adulthood is the definitive grown-up's guide to a cultural landscape predicated on the primacy and constancy of youth.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 'A well-paced, thorough and often (darkly) humorous account of the two-year campaign season that began when Donald Trump announced he was running for president again . . . Thrilling.' New York Times The most definitive, deeply researched and authoritative account of the most tumultuous election in US history. In 2024, Donald Trump made a political comeback on a scale that stunned the world. How did the first US president to become a convicted felon regain control of the White House? And at what cost? Here, three award-winning reporters bring us the definitive and explosive account of how Trump and his advisers overcame a dozen primary challengers, four indictments, two assassination attempts, and his own past mistakes to defeat the Democrats. It is a damning and revelatory inside account of an election that tested American democracy - and which has already transformed the future of the free world. 'The most well-sourced and judiciously written reporting from the campaign that you will find . . . 2024 is the best book of its kind I have read.' Philip Collins, Observer 'Charts the delusions of the main players and the disastrous debate that reset the campaign . . . 2024 is a book for these times: aptly named deeply sourced.' Lloyd Green, Guardian 'By speaking to insiders on all sides of the debate, it lifts the lid on the near misses, fatal errors and lucky saves that led to the situation today.' Katy Balls, The Times

Inside DOJ's Pursuit of the President, from Nixon to Trump

When You Come at the King

The story of a family in modern China with a history of deceit, betrayal and political intrigue, and the communist party's long shadow over them, from the Cultural Revolution to today. Following the lives of military intelligence officer Jie and his wife Moon, The Book of Secrets weaves recently found material into a narrative that not only illuminates the shadowy world of intelligence in China, but also the emotional tragedies that political extremism inflicted on those working within. Drawing on Jie's own vivid biography of his youth, Xinran pieces together his trajectory as he joins the great hope of the Chinese young - the Communist Party - and becomes a loyal cadre until the late 1970s when, as a chief in the security forces, he makes a decision that will poison his family against him. This is a totally unique behind-the-scenes account of a family torn apart by the Tiananmen Square massacre and the attempts of Jie to finally open up the Chinese system to the people, pieced together from an extraordinary archive of personal diaries and letters.
