Future Imperfect describes and discusses a variety of technological revolutions that might happen over the next few decades, their implications, and how to deal with them. Topics range from encryption and surveillance through biotechnology and nanotechnology to life extension, mind drugs, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. One theme of the book is that the future is radically uncertain. Technological changes already begun could lead to more or less privacy than we have ever known, freedom or slavery, effective immortality or the elimination of our species, and radical changes in life, marriage, law, medicine, work, and play. We do not know which future will arrive, but it is unlikely to be much like the past. It is worth starting to think about it now.

Based on extensive research and real-world examples, this book upends accepted wisdom about how to achieve success when launching a startup or creating a new product “The most important start-up book of the last ten years.” —Steve Blank, co-creator of the Lean Startup movement The breakthrough concepts of Pattern Breakers come from the observations of Mike Maples Jr., a seasoned venture capitalist, who noticed something strange. Start-ups like Twitter, Twitch, and Lyft had achieved extraordinary success despite their disregard for “best practices.” In contrast, other start-ups that were deemed highly promising often failed, even when they seemed to do everything right. Seeking answers, Maples and coauthor Peter Ziebelman set out to discover the hidden forces that drive extraordinary start-up success. Pattern-breaking success, they reveal, demands a different mindset and actions to harness developments others miss or that may, at first, seem crazy. Pattern Breakers is filled with firsthand storytelling about initial interactions with some of the most transformative start-ups of recent times. Maples and Ziebelman challenge us to rethink how to transcend the ordinary and achieve the extraordinary—especially in this transformational era of AI.

Antes de que existieran Bitcoin, los mercados libres digitales o la conversación global sobre soberanía tecnológica, Una posada para caminantes anticipó —con una precisión sorprendente— la aparición de redes paralelas fuera del alcance de los gobiernos tradicionales. En esta novela provocadora, Paul Rosenberg entrelaza ciencia, filosofía, criptografía y política para seguir a un puñado de personajes —científicos, hackers, periodistas, inversores— que se apartan de las instituciones del mundo oficial y comienzan a construir el suyo propio. Lo que descubren no es solo una nueva forma de pensar, sino una nueva forma de existir: libre, voluntaria y cifrada. A medio camino entre el relato de ideas y la advertencia visionaria, esta obra funciona como un tratado encubierto sobre soberanía individual, mercados libres y resistencia pacífica al poder centralizado.

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind shows why empathy in politics leads to civilizational collapse. What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected. In his new book, Suicidal Empathy, Saad unleashes a blistering critique of maladaptively irrational altruism that has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. We are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline. Lunatic policies are instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over The Truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. This is not humane; it’s an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free. This crisis of empathy creates a horrifying system of inverse morality where the strong and successful are demonized, and the destructive are celebrated. Just look at the insane inversions we tolerate daily: we prefer illegal migrants over our own legal citizens and veterans, permit drug addicts to threaten children’s safety in parks, and elevate transgender 'women' above biological women in sports and safe spaces. Common sense is dying in a deluge of misguided compassion. Suicidal Empathy is your wake-up call. Stop ignoring your survival instincts in the name of political correctness. This isn't just misguided policy; it is the ultimate expression of a culture actively choosing its own demise.

Bitcoin was promised to be a liberating technology, a free market alternative to state-controlled money. But that promise was broken after a small group of insiders took over the project and fundamentally changed Bitcoin's design. Few people know the true history of Bitcoin and its original design due to years of heavy censorship, social media engineering, and tight information controls online. Hijacking Bitcoin destroys the most popular narratives that surround Bitcoin and sets the historical record straight. Roger Ver's passion and pain come through as he tells the story of a beloved project corrupted in front of his eyes. Written by one of the most prominent figures in the cryptocurrency industry, this book is impossible to ignore. From the inside flap: Bitcoin has been captured and changed for the worse. That's the undeniable conclusion of Hijacking Bitcoin. Chocked full of history and inconvenient truths, this book goes on a myth-busting rampage against the most popular narratives that surround BTC. Is Bitcoin truly decentralized? Is it supposed to be digital gold or digital cash? Did the original design really have scaling problems? Roger Ver addresses these questions head-on and provides uncomfortable answers. Roger Ver is the world's first investor in Bitcoin startups and has been a prominent name in the cryptocurrency industry since the beginning. Yet, as he confesses in the introduction, this book is not a love story. It's a devastating exposé of the corruption, propaganda, and centralization of power in Bitcoin.

A top cybersecurity journalist tells the story behind the virus that sabotaged Iran’s nuclear efforts and shows how its existence has ushered in a new age of warfare—one in which a digital attack can have the same destructive capability as a megaton bomb.  “Immensely enjoyable . . . Zetter turns a complicated and technical cyber story into an engrossing whodunit.”—The Washington Post   The virus now known as Stuxnet was unlike any other piece of malware built before: Rather than simply hijacking targeted computers or stealing information from them, it proved that a piece of code could escape the digital realm and wreak actual, physical destruction—in this case, on an Iranian nuclear facility.   In these pages, journalist Kim Zetter tells the whole story behind the world’s first cyberweapon, covering its genesis in the corridors of the White House and its effects in Iran—and telling the spectacular, unlikely tale of the security geeks who managed to unravel a top secret sabotage campaign years in the making.   But Countdown to Zero Day also ranges beyond Stuxnet itself, exploring the history of cyberwarfare and its future, showing us what might happen should our infrastructure be targeted by a Stuxnet-style attack, and ultimately, providing a portrait of a world at the edge of a new kind of war.

Juan Ramón Rallo reconstruye y destruye en dos tomos el pensamiento económico de Marx Karl Marx es incuestionablemente uno de los pensadores más influyentes de la historia. Ningún otro autor ha logrado un predicamento similar al suyo en disciplinas tan dispares como la Economía, la Filosofía, la Historiografía, la Sociología o las Ciencias Políticas. Sus ideas han alentado movimientos sociales y políticos de masas que en muchos casos llegaron a tomar el poder y a aplicar un programa revolucionario de inspiración marxista. De entre toda la abundantísima literatura que existe sobre Marx, este libro de Juan Ramón Rallo es único por dos motivos. En primer lugar, no hay otra obra que ofrezca simultáneamente una revisión sobre Marx y a la vez contra Marx tan extensa y detallada. En segundo lugar, no existe hasta el momento una crítica integral a la teoría económica marxista tan meticulosa y ordenada como la que presenta Rallo. El primer tomo está dirigido a presentar el pensamiento marxista, especialmente ―aunque no exclusivamente― en su vertiente económica, de un modo sistemático y aséptico: no se pretende ni distorsionar ni caricaturizar a Marx, sino simplemente explicar, del modo más accesible posible, cuáles fueron sus ideas. Con este fin, Rallo revisa, desmenuza e integra la extensa obra de Marx, desde La crítica a la filosofía del derecho de Hegel a las Glosas marginales a Adolf Wagner, pasando por Los Manuscritos económico-filosóficos de 1844, La ideología alemana, La miseria de la filosofía, los Grundrisse, las Teorías sobre la plusvalía, sus artículos en prensa, sus manifiestos políticos, su correspondencia personal y, por supuesto, los tres monumentales volúmenes de El Capital. A través del análisis conjunto de toda esta literatura, auxiliada por el estudio de la obra de Engels y de otros destacados intelectuales marxistas, Rallo consigue exponer de un modo coherente las teorías de Marx sobre el valor, el dinero, el capital, la explotación, los precios, los salarios, las ganancias, las clases sociales, el crecimiento económico, las crisis económicas y el advenimiento del comunismo. En el segundo tomo Rallo hace una crítica exhaustiva y rigurosa del pensamiento marxista: su objetivo es detallar y demostrar todos los errores que cometió Marx al describir la estructura y el funcionamiento del capitalismo para, al mismo tiempo, exponer cuáles son las auténticas anatomía y dinámica de la sociedad moderna. En suma, se pretende rescatar al capitalismo de la crítica marxista a través de la crítica a Marx: una crítica a la crítica.  Con este fin, Rallo desmonta paciente y escalonadamente los pilares que sostienen el edificio intelectual del marxismo. En primer lugar, las mercancías son intercambiables por ser bienes económicos que satisfacen necesidades humanas y se intercambian en función de la importancia relativa de las necesidades que permiten satisfacer. En segundo lugar, valor de uso y valor no son facetas contradictorias de la mercancía, sino facetas que se complementan y potencian mutuamente: el valor no anula al valor de uso, sino que contribuye a multiplicarlo y a desarrollarlo. En tercer lugar, el capitalista no es capitalista por explotar la fuerza de trabajo del obrero, sino por suministrar tiempo, protección e información dentro del proceso de producción, elevando así la productividad social y, por tanto, elevando el bienestar de todos (incluido el del obrero). En cuarto lugar, la circulación del capital no profundiza la separación entre el obrero y los medios de producción, sino que posibilita la capitalización histórica del obrero. En quinto lugar, los precios de producción de las mercancías no guardan ninguna conexión necesaria con sus valores-trabajo sino con sus utilidades marginales para los compradores. En sexto lugar, las clases sociales no están predeterminadas por la posición de cada individuo respecto al control social de los medios de producción, sino que la estructura de control de los medios de producción depende de las funciones económicas que cada individuo desempeñe a través o al margen de esos medios de producción. En séptimo lugar, no hay ninguna tendencia a que la tasa general de ganancia decrezca a largo plazo o, al menos, no por las razones que expone Marx. Y, por último, el comunismo no es una inevitabilidad histórica y su promesa de liberación de la humanidad supondría, en realidad, la supresión de la libertad individual. En su Anti-Marx, Juan Ramón Rallo aborda la titánica tarea de reconstruir y destruir a la vez el pensamiento económico de Marx. Se trata de la más ambiciosa crítica al marxismo escrita hasta la fecha.
