Story
In the 1970s, while their contemporaries were protesting the computer as a tool of dehumanization and oppression, a motley collection of college dropouts, hippies, and electronics fanatics were engaged in something much more subversive. Obsessed with the idea of getting computer power into their own hands, they launched from their garages a hobbyist movement that grew into an industry, and ultimately a social and technological revolution.

Steven Levy's classic book traces the exploits of the computer revolution's original hackers - those brilliant and eccentric nerds from the late 1950s through the early '80s who took risks, bent the rules, and pushed the world in a radical new direction. With updated material from noteworthy hackers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Stallman, and Steve Wozniak, Hackers is a fascinating story that begins in early computer research labs and leads to the first home computers.

Story
Few of us give much thought to computer code or how it comes to be. The very word “code” makes it sound immutable or even inevitable. “You Are Not Expected to Understand This” demonstrates that, far from being preordained, computer code is the result of very human decisions, ones we all live with when we use social media, take photos, drive our cars, and engage in a host of other activities.

Simply put, an algorithm is a set of instructions-it's the code that makes computers run. A basic idea that proved elusive for hundreds of years and bent the minds of the greatest thinkers in the world, the algorithm is what made the modern world possible. Without the algorithm, there would have been no computer, no Internet, no virtual reality, no e-mail, or any other technological advance that we rely on every day.

Abhinav Bindra once shot 100 out of 100 in practice six times in a row and walked out of the range unhappy. He is a perfectionist who once soled his shoes with rubber from Ferrari tyres because he thought it would help. He would wake up at 3:00 a.m. to practise at his range at home if an idea suddenly struck him. It is from such obsession that greatness arrives.

Story
Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our 'junk code' in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code, and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI.

Story
Nati 3.000 anni fa nell'antica Grecia e tornati in auge verso la fine del XIX secolo, i Giochi Olimpici sono diventati la competizione sportiva più popolare a livello mondiale. Dall'VIII secolo a.C. fino al IV secolo d.C., i giochi si svolsero ogni quattro anni a Olimpia, una città nell'ovest della penisola del Peloponneso, in onore del dio Zeus. I primi Giochi Olimpici dell'era moderna furono ospitati ad Atene nel 1896 e videro 280 atleti di 13 nazioni confrontarsi in 43 discipline diverse.

Al congresso della Sorbona del 1894, il barone Pierre de Coubertin annunciò per la prima volta l'idea di recuperare gli antichi Giochi di Olimpia, partendo da Parigi e dall'EXPO, già programmata nel 1900, sei più tardi. "Concorsi internazionali d'esercizi fisici e dello sport". L'idea viene accolta con entusiasmo, ma sei anni parvero un periodo di tempo troppo lungo, così fu deciso di indire la Prima Olimpiade ad Atene, nel 1896, in attesa di Parigi.

Katherine knew it was wrong that African Americans didn't have the same rights as others - as wrong as 5+5=12. She knew it was wrong that people thought women could only be teachers or nurses - as wrong as 10-5=3. And she proved everyone wrong by zooming ahead of her classmates, starting college at 15, and eventually joining NASA, where her calculations helped pioneer America's first manned flight into space, its first manned orbit of Earth, and the world's first trip to the moon!
