If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? What if everyone only had one soulmate? What would happen if the moon went away? In pursuit of answers, Munroe runs computer simulations, pores over stacks of declassified military research memos, solves differential equations, and consults with nuclear reactor operators.

From ventilators to brain implants, medicine has been blurring what it means to die. In a lucid description of modern neuroscientific thinking, Zeleznikow-Johnston explains that death is not the loss of breath, but of personal identity – that the core of our identities is our minds, and that our minds are encoded in the structure of our brains. On this basis, he explores how recent discoveries now offer us all the chance of preserving our minds for future revival. Whether they discovered cures or fought for justice, we are grateful to those of our ancestors who helped craft a kinder world.

Un delicioso ensayo que nos adentra en las particularidades de nuestro bien más preciado: el tiempo. ¿Por qué algunas horas pasan volando mientras otras se alargan infinitamente? ¿Por qué la sensación del tiempo transcurrido se diluye inexorablemente ante el tedio y en cambio se desvanece en los momentos de gozo? Hace tiempo que la ciencia definió el tiempo como algo relativo y sin embargo sigue siendo nuestro bien más escaso. Lo prueba el hecho de que somos la generación que más tiempo tiene para sí misma y sin embargo vivimos subyugados por el ritmo incesante de las agujas del reloj.

At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change.

The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven't we moved beyond peaceful protest? In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse.
