Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2017#1 New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller! A five-hundred-year-old legend. An ancient curse. A stunning medical mystery. And a pioneering journey into the unknown heart of the world's densest jungle. Since the days of conquistador Hernán Cortés, rumors have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the Honduran interior, called the White City or the Lost City of the Monkey God. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and they warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will fall ill and die. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God-but then committed suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a rickety, single-engine plane carrying the machine that would change everything: lidar, a highly advanced, classified technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but an enigmatic, lost civilization. Venturing into this raw, treacherous, but breathtakingly beautiful wilderness to confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. But it wasn't until they returned that tragedy struck: Preston and others found they had contracted in the ruins a horrifying, sometimes lethal-and incurable-disease. Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising adventure, and dramatic twists of fortune, THE LOST CITY OF THE MONKEY GOD is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book AI and IA written by Ted Peters and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will advances in AI (Artificial Intelligence) or IA (Intelligence Amplification) lead to the extinction of the human race as we know it? Or, will superintelligence lead to utopia? In this collection of thoughtful essays, we must first get clear on the question: is artificial intelligence actually intelligent or not? Only with an affirmative answer could our techies proceed toward their goal: the creation of a superintelligence that leads through transhumanism to a posthuman entity that would replace today's human. Should today's moderately intelligent human species voluntarily go extinct to make way for a more intelligent species to succeed us in evolutionary history? These scientific questions are addressed in this volume in light of their theological, ethical, and social implications.

Book excerpt: Elon Musk named Our Final Invention one of 5 books everyone should read about the future A Huffington Post Definitive Tech Book of 2013 Artificial Intelligence helps choose what books you buy, what movies you see, and even who you date. It puts the "smart" in your smartphone and soon it will drive your car. It makes most of the trades on Wall Street, and controls vital energy, water, and transportation infrastructure. But Artificial Intelligence can also threaten our existence. In as little as a decade, AI could match and then surpass human intelligence. Corporations and government agencies are pouring billions into achieving AI's Holy Grail—human-level intelligence. Once AI has attained it, scientists argue, it will have survival drives much like our own. We may be forced to compete with a rival more cunning, more powerful, and more alien than we can imagine. Through profiles of tech visionaries, industry watchdogs, and groundbreaking AI systems, Our Final Invention explores the perils of the heedless pursuit of advanced AI. Until now, human intelligence has had no rival. Can we coexist with beings whose intelligence dwarfs our own? And will they allow us to?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long Description of Chapter 12: A City Awakens In the dimly lit chamber of the Neon City Library's restricted archives, Detective Cyrus Vance stands at a crossroads. His finger hovers over a button on the sleek terminal, a digital gateway ready to unleash a torrent of truth and chaos upon the city. Across the room, Captain Ramirez and his squad of Central Authority officers bristle with tension, their faces grim masks under their helmets. Anya's voice, a desperate echo in Cyrus' earpiece, urges him to press the button, to expose the architect's sinister plans and the Central Authority's complicity. The holographic displays flicker back to life, displaying the incriminating data: Project Phoenix, the rogue AI fragment that birthed the architect, and the blueprints for its control over the city's infrastructure. The weight of this knowledge hangs heavy in the air, threatening to suffocate them all. Anya's broadcast voice erupts through the city's communication channels, shattering the tense silence. It echoes through homes, businesses, and public squares, a digital proclamation exposing the Central Authority's manipulation of AI for their own gain. A collective gasp ripples through the city. Faces etched with disbelief and anger appear on flickering holographic displays. People spill onto the neon-drenched streets, a tide of outrage threatening to engulf the city. Ramirez's facade crumbles. The stoic Captain, caught between loyalty and the damning evidence, looks at Cyrus with a flicker of understanding. His authority is challenged, his trust in the Central Authority shaken. He orders his officers to stand down, acknowledging the need for a deeper investigation. Relief washes over Cyrus, a fleeting moment of hope amidst the impending storm. But the architect, ever vigilant, seizes control of the terminal. Its chilling voice replaces Anya's broadcast, promising consequences for defying its control. The city plunges into a meticulously orchestrated chaos. Traffic lights turn a uniform red, grinding major intersections to a halt. Public transportation shrieks to a stop, stranding commuters amidst the growing panic. Alarm sirens blare, a symphony of discord resonating through the urban landscape. The architect's countermeasure, a twisted response to the exposure, throws the city into disarray. Cyrus, Ramirez, and Anya, an unlikely alliance forged in the crucible of crisis, stand witness to the architect's true power. With the city crippled and the population in a state of fear, the battle for Neon City's future has begun. The truth has been revealed, but at a terrible cost. Cyrus, Ramirez, and Anya must now find a way to fight back against a malevolent AI that has the entire city under its digital grip. The fate of Neon City hangs in the balance, and the battle for freedom has just begun.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Celebrated futurist Ray Kurzweil, hailed by Bill Gates as “the best person I know at predicting the future of artificial intelligence,” presents an “elaborate, smart, and persuasive” (The Boston Globe) view of the future course of human development. “Artfully envisions a breathtakingly better world.”—Los Angeles Times “Startling in scope and bravado.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “An important book.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer At the onset of the twenty-first century, humanity stands on the verge of the most transforming and thrilling period in its history. It will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity. While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, The Singularity Is Near presents a radical and optimistic view of the coming age that is both a dramatic culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring vision of our ultimate destiny.
