The Martian named Smith: Critical perspectives on Robert A. Heinlein's Stranger in a strange land

William H Patterson

The human race is caught in the crosshairs of twin threats stemming from exponential advances in technology: easy access to weapons of mass destruction by terrorists, and the development of artificial intelligences that could take over our infrastructure. In Crisis of Control, Peter Scott lays out the stark choices and consequences facing us in clear, provocative, and sometimes humorous language. This book is for those with the courage to face unpleasant facts head-on: the stakes could not be higher. Yet there is hope, and Scott shows a path that might lead us through the crucible to a future of limitless promise.

Artificial Intelligence and You: Survive and Thrive through AI's Impact on Your Life, Your Work, and Your World (Human Cusp)

What Is AI? Why Will It Affect You? How Do You Survive and Thrive through the AI Revolution? 
Sensationalism about AI has reached new heights, and getting a useful understanding of it has never been more important. AI will extend and accelerate thinking, delivering unprecedented abundance. But it will also require us to navigate a path of challenges ranging from today’s issues of bias, privacy, and explainability, to job displacement through automation, and a future coexistence with superintelligent machines. This book is the roadmap to that path. In clear, accessible, and engaging language, Scott explains AI for readers from all walks of life who are looking for the full picture of how AI is transforming the world. 
"A fresh, thought provoking, entertaining and accessible post pandemic account of the present and future impact of AI and how to live with it, packed full of useful facts and quotable analogies and anecdotes." — Lord Tim Clement-Jones, Co-Chair of Britain’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on AI\nAbout the Author Peter Scott is helping us to get along with artificial intelligence. A Master’s degree in computer science from Cambridge University led him to spend more than thirty years working for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, helping advance our exploration of space. A parallel pursuit of the human development field as a certified coach positioned him to recognize and address technological disruption. The births of his children brought him into a mission, to help people understand, use, and advance AI for the betterment of all. He has given TEDx talks, spoken to audiences as diverse as transformational leaders, executives, and British parliamentarians, and created a program to train coaches in helping clients become resilient to exponential disruption. In 2020 he started the Artificial Intelligence and You podcast, bringing together expert guests as diverse as politicians, CEOs, philosophers, developers, and artists to help audiences understand this incredibly complex thing called AI. He lives in the Pacific Northwest.
