Shteyngart G: Vera, Or Faith

Vera, Or Faith

'An excellent look at what Palantir does, as well as a fascinating insight into the mind of its eccentric chief executive' TelegraphPalantir Technologies is the most interesting company in the world -&nbsp;and the most controversial.&nbsp;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 U.S. 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 U.S. military, the National Health Service in England, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to healthcare to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the twenty-first century.&nbsp;Its billionaire 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 co-founder Peter Thiel.&nbsp;In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger is the first to tell the story of Alex Karp and Palantir from the beginning. Steinberger offers new biographical details and a rich psychological portrait of the man leading one of the world's most secretive companies. Full of revelations, this is an urgent and insightful book about technological power, the surveillance state and the future we all face.

Alex Karp, Palantir and the Rise of the Surveillance State

The Philosopher in the Valley

'Very little makes me laugh. I would say the one exception is anything by David Sedaris' GRAHAM NORTON'Sedaris is the God of the comic essay... Sedaris' only rule: be funny or perish' LENA DUNHAM In The Land and Its People, David Sedaris investigates what it means to be a traveller, a brother, a lifelong friend. Trying on the role of carer after his boyfriend Hugh's hip-replacement surgery, he both succeeds and fails. He covers ground with his friend Dawn and challenges her to eat a truck tire. An ambivalent Duolingo bot becomes his unlikely confidante as he attempts to describe his family in a foreign language. Ever adding to his list of 'Countries I Have Been To,' he rides a horse named Tequila in Guatemala, buys a bespoke priest's cassock in Vatican City, and goes on safari in Kenya without taking a single photo. Time takes its toll: Scrolling through his address book, he counts those he couldn't bear to outline and realizes how many are already gone. He is bitten by a dog and insulted by a wee train passenger. A woman on the street late at night either sexually harasses him or doesn't. It's easy to agree with the lady waving a sign that reads, 'Enough is Enough.' And yet, life holds much to delight in: the massive testicles of a ram, a trip abroad with his sisters, a really excellent reptile video, a pair of well-made cotton underpants.Throughout these essays - at once acerbic and tender, playful and profound - Sedaris shows how much there is to marvel at when you keep your head up and your eyes open, observing with warmth and curiosity our fascinating human species and the lands we inhabit.'Sedaris is the premier observer of our world and its weirdness' ADAM KAY 'Wonderful' IAN McKELLEN 'Unquestionably the king of comic writing' HADLEY FREEMAN 'The funniest writer alive today' JONATHAN ROSS

The Land and its People

'Michael Auerbach has one of the most original minds I've ever encountered . . . This is a dazzling and entertaining book . . . But it is also an urgent warning' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of Empire of Pain A brilliant exploration of the phenomenon of prediction markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? Prediction markets are sweeping the world, fundamentally changing the nature of gambling - and the very ways in which we attempt to divine the future. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction markets allow any difference of opinion - whether on pop culture or politics, wars or assassinations - to be financialised. A regulatory minefield with moral implications that divide nations, governments and bettors, they have proved as effective at accurately predicting the timing of missile strikes as they have at calling the outcomes of elections.But are these markets really a new phenomenon? And what does it mean when those tasked with safeguarding democracy hold financial stakes in its volatility?From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through nineteenth-century London's wartime coffee house gossip, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange and blockchain-based betting on Polymarket today, The Big Bet tells the gripping five-hundred-year story of a permissive regime that no one designed and no one voted for.Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future where democracy becomes just another commodity to be priced and traded. Because prediction markets are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world where everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

Halo

"2552. The theocratic military alliance known as the Covenant is showing no mercy as it continues to assault every human world it encounters, but in the way lies humanity's greatest champion, the super-soldier Spartan John-117--the Master Chief. Together with his AI companion Cortana and the last remaining Spartans, the galaxy-spanning fight rages on two fronts following the destruction of the human military stronghold Reach by Covenant forces and the mysterious artificial ringworld known as 'Halo' at the hands of the Master Chief"--Back cover.

The New York Times bestselling aftermath of Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief—part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series! 2552. The theocratic military alliance known as the Covenant is showing no mercy as it continues to assault every human world it encounters, but in the way lies humanity’s greatest champion, the super-soldier Spartan John-117—the Master Chief. Together with his AI companion Cortana and the last remaining Spartans, the galaxy-spanning fight rages on two fronts following the destruction of the human military stronghold Reach by Covenant forces and the mysterious artificial ringworld known as “Halo” at the hands of the Master Chief. One faction—a squad of Spartans lead by Blue Team’s Fred-104 and Kelly-087—is trapped on the glassed surface of Reach, the only planet they’ve ever known as home. And beneath this ruined world, Dr. Catherine Halsey has discovered an ancient secret...one that could alter the course of the war. Meanwhile, the Master Chief and Cortana lead a second group toward a gathering of Covenant warships, as the United Nations Space Command’s worst nightmare has finally come true: the Covenant has discovered the location of Earth and is forming a massive fleet to utterly destroy it, as well as all who oppose the indomitable will of the Prophets…

Halo: First Strike: Volume 3

Stop circling the drain with traditional business books and prepare for a deep dive into the sub-aquatic depths of corporate absurdity. This book is the definitive manifesto for the 360-degree, marcomms visioneer who isn't afraid to "think" outside the vertical cycle. From dredging the ocean of emotion for granular data to navigating the perilous gap analysis of the brandscape (otherwise known as shopping for clothes), this book skewers the pretentious nonsense of management consultants and "media johnnies" alike. It is a relentless search for integrated, implementationable insight solutions that meet customer needs you haven't even bothered to identify yet.Beyond the biting wit and "Total Con" approach to communication, this book serves a serious purpose: it is a post-mortem for a marketing world that has been pronounced "dead" so many times its corpse is restless for change. By disposing of sacred cows and dismantling the clichés that have infected our boardrooms, it seeks to rescue the English language from the clutches of those who value "impactful consumer mindshare" over actual meaning.

Pushing the Envelope Outside the Box

Ruth Berlau ist vielen als eine der Mitarbeiterinnen und Liebhaberinnen von Bertolt Brecht bekannt. Dabei zeugt das Leben der dänischen Journalistin, Schauspielerin und Regisseurin von Höhen, Tiefen - und kuriosen Abenteuern - fernab ihrer Beziehung zu dem berühmten Dramatiker. Dem einen, für den sie alles gibt.
Jener nutzt ihre Verliebtheit aus, erschafft ein Schülerin-Lehrer-Verhältnis und profitiert von ihrer Schlagfertigkeit. Als sie ihm auf sein Bitten ins Exil in die USA folgt und das gemeinsame Kind kurz nach der Geburt stirbt, beginnt ihr Verhältnis zu bröckeln. Zurück in Ostberlin, sagt Brecht sich von ihr los, was ihr umgekehrt nie gelingt.
In erhellenden und unterhaltsamen Episoden zeichnet Andrea Paluch den Lebensweg Ruth Berlaus nach, ohne ihren kritischen Blick zu verlieren. Dafür begibt sie sich auf ihr imaginäres Zweirad und reist Ruth Berlaus legendäre Radtour des Jahres 1928 von Kopenhagen nach Paris nach. Auf diese Weise macht die Autorin die Lebenslust, den Humor und die Unkonventionalität der jungen Dänin spürbar und unvergessen.

'Keinen Platz für Brandmauern' dürfe es in Europa mehr geben, stärkte US-Vizepräsident JD Vance Anfang 2025 der AfD den Rücken. Der Vorstoß fällt in ein Szenario, das lange Zeit nicht denkbar schien: Ob Skandinavien, Großbritannien, die Niederlande oder Frankreich: In etlichen Staaten Europas feiern Parteien der extremen Rechten enorme Erfolge, in Italien und Ungarn stellen gar welche die Regierung. Gelingt ihnen nun in der EU der Durchbruch? Erste Regierungsbeteiligungen gelangen bereits 1994 in Italien und 2000 in Österreich, andere Länder folgten. Seit 2019 wächst auch ihr Einfluss im Europaparlament. Die traditionelle Abgrenzung, der Cordon sanitaire, kurz: die Brandmauer, wurde schrittweise brüchig. Dass sie fallen könnte, dazu trägt nach Kräften die Trump-Administration bei. Die sie tragenden politischen Milieus sind seit mehr als einem Jahrzehnt aktiv dabei, ihren Einfluss nach Europa auszudehnen und extrem rechte Kräfte weltweit zu vernetzen, von Argentinien über Israel bis Australien. Der Westen formiert sich auf der Grundlage von Positionen der äußersten Rechten - auch um globalpolitisch im Zeichen neuer aufstrebender Kräfte der eigenen schwindenden Dominanz entgegenzutreten.

Der Vormarsch der transatlantischen Rechten

Die Brandleger

Wer sind wir? Wer können wir sein, wer wollen wir sein, wenn wir anders sind als die Norm? Entdecken wir das Begehren oder entdeckt das Begehren uns? Wie frei sind wir, unser Begehren zu leben? Hat es nur eine Form oder ändert es sich, wird tiefer, zarter, radikaler? 
In ihrem so persönlichen wie analytischen Text schildert Carolin Emcke das Suchen und die allmähliche Entdeckung des eigenen, etwas anderen Begehrens. Sie erzählt von einem homosexuellen Coming of Age, von einer Jugend in den 1980er Jahren, in der über Sexualität nicht gesprochen wurde. Sie buchstabiert die vielen Dialekte des Begehrens aus, beschreibt die Lust der Erfüllung, aber auch die Tragik, die gesellschaftliche Ausgrenzung dessen, der sein Begehren nicht artikulieren kann. Eine atemberaubend ehrliche Erzählung, die gleichermaßen intim wie politisch ist. 
'Carolin Emcke (...) arbeitet mit einer gedanklichen und sprachlichen Präzision, die ihresgleichen sucht, und einem intellektuellen Mut, der bewundernswert ist.' 
Heribert Prantl
