**Recommended by Bill GatesA thought-provoking and wide-ranging exploration of machine learning and the race to build computer intelligences as flexible as our own**In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning ma...

One misty autumn dawn in a quiet fishing port in northwest Spain, the body of a sailor washes up in the harbour. Detective Inspector Leo Caldas is called in from police headquarters in the nearby city of Vigo to sign off on what appears to be a suicide. But details soon come to light that turn this routine matter into a complex murder investigation. Finding out the truth is not easy when the villagers are so suspicious of outsiders. As Caldas delves into the maritime life of the village, h...

Lilly’s journey began in an unlikely place—a prison—before becoming a cherished class pet. She was the creation of Domingo Castillo, an educator dedicated to teaching students about Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Instead of relying on harmful chemicals that leave toxic residues on our food, students learned to implement the least toxic methods for pest control. Lilly served as a living example of how beneficial insects can naturally manage agricultural pests.What truly set Lilly...

"I told you not to read books like this." —Your Mom When AI and the culture wars collide, hilarity ensues. The 2040 presidential election is unlike any in US history.

Algorithms increasingly run our lives. They find books, movies, jobs, and dates for us, manage our investments, and discover new drugs. More and more, these algorithms work by learning from the trails of data we leave in our newly digital world. Like curious children, they observe us, imitate, and experiment. And in the world’s top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything...
