A Must Read lest history repeat

Well done. Well researched, written and narrated. Everyone in the west should read this work. Especially our youth who’ve been had by the socialist education system.

Historia
Once relegated to the fringes of society, transhumanism (the use of technology to enhance human intellectual and physical capability) is now poised to enter our cultural mainstream. It has found adherents in Silicon Valley billionaires Ray Kurzweil and Peter Diamandis. Google has entered the picture, establishing a bio-tech subsidiary aimed at solving the problem of aging. In To Be a Machine, journalist Mark O'Connell takes a headlong dive into this burgeoning movement.

An excellent overview of Transhumanism. Tech geeks aspirations at becoming the priests of techno centric religion that hopes to avoid death by the induction of technology into the human mind and body. A modern day recreation of the Tower of Babel. Well written, informative, humorous, entertaining and well read.

Historia
Google Executive Chairman and ex-CEO Eric Schmidt and former SVP of Products Jonathan Rosenberg came to Google over a decade ago as proven technology executives. At the time, the company was already well-known for doing things differently, reflecting the visionary - and frequently contrarian - principles of founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. If Eric and Jonathan were going to succeed, they realized they would have to relearn everything they thought they knew about management and business.

Don't judge a book by its title
Revisado: 07-19-18
I purchased this book hoping to better understand google and "how it works". Instead, it's a long, promotional history of how the google founders built their business and how they are better/smarter than everyone else . Moreover, building a business on the university model is superior to traditional business models and fosters the productivity of "smart creatives".

Artificial intelligence and astrophysics
Revisado: 06-14-18
This book is very well read by Rob Shapiro. However, a large portion of the book is about astrophysics and not really related to artificial intelligence at all. Unfortunately, the big elephant in the room, what happens when people or organizations develop artificial intelligence for their own personal ends to the detriment of everyone else, is never discussed. Instead, The author, a self-described optimist and MIT professor, has gone to great lengths to set up a list in which he proposes everyone in the world should just get along. Academia, meet real world...

Don't bother buying this book.
Revisado: 06-03-18
If this guy were selling hamburgers they would be vegetarian. This book is all filler and no meat. He tells long, boring stories and recites long, pointless lists. He occasionally describes the contents of a balance sheet or web site. This book is read by it's author who, unfortunately, has a very bad lisp... I'm sure the author is a nice guy in person but this book was excruciatingly painful to listen to in its entirety.

Professor Goldsby seems like a nice guy but repetitive phrases, a mouthful of marbles and an occasional inability to read his own notes make these lectures painful to listen to.

30 minute infomercial
Revisado: 12-31-16
This is simply a 30 minute advertisement for the book titled"Losing My Virginity: The Purity Myth." The author of the book as well as Suzy Bright maintain that "virginity" is an abstract concept and should be deleted from society. The main goal of the author seems to be to encourage young people to have sex as early as possible. Now that I've summarized, you don't have to waste your time and money on this.

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories.

The Financial Times' Critique Doesn't Detract
- De Madeleine en 05-22-14
Useless from Audible
Revisado: 11-01-16
This book is very poorly written and edited. It is rife with repeating phrases such as "concretely" and "to be sure." Moreover, nearly every paragraph of this monstrous work refers to a chart or graph that is simply not available on audible. A simple lesson on capital would be "don't waste it on this book."
