Don't be a Robot
Author: Christoph Burkhardt
Publisher: Midas Management Verlag
ISBN: 303876521X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
Something happened, something big. Over thousands of years we became the humans we are today. Homo sapiens: to our current knowledge, the most intelligent species on this planet. But are we the most intelligent species, period? We are standing at the brink of a massive paradigm shift. A shift so fundamental, so far-reaching and transformative that we cannot even begin to understand what is going to happen to us and our intelligence. We are facing the most transformative change in about 10,000 years. Industrialization and globalization, the connectedness of minds and machines in the worldwide web, and the use of data as a new currency are mere precursors of what is going to happen next. We will no longer be the only species using reason, experience and intelligence to make sense of our world. Maybe we should rethink calling it our world anyway.

Fish Heads and Duck Skin
Author: Lindsey Salatka
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1647421292
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
On the advice of a five-dollar psychic, Tina Martin, a zany, overworked mother of two, quits her high-powered job and moves her family to Shanghai. Tina yearns for this new setting to bring her the zen-like inner peace she’s always heard about on infomercials. Instead, she becomes a totally exasperated fish out of water, doing wacky things like stealing the shoes of a shifty delivery man, spraying local women with a bidet hose, and contemplating the murder of her new pet cricket. It takes the friendship of an elderly tai chi instructor, a hot Mandarin tutor, and several mah-jongg-tile-slinging expats to bring Tina closer to a culture she doesn’t understand, the dream job she never knew existed, and the self she has always sought. Fish Heads and Duck Skin will resonate with anyone who has ever wondered who they are, why they were put here, and how they ever lived before eating pan-fried pork buns.
