Author, filmmaker, and media explorer Steven Rosenbaum sets out to understand how this is happening-and what comes next. What begins as a personal investigation becomes something stranger and more urgent: a story about systems captured, consensus collapsing, and humans caught in the digital crossfire. At the heart of the book are exclusive, provocative conversations with some of the most original thinkers of our time: wild-haired philosopher David Chalmers calls it "a simulated reality crisis." Cultural provocateur Douglas Rushkoff says, "Truth has been coded for profit." Legal legend Larry Lessig warns of "an attention economy built to distort." AI truth-teller Gary Marcus sees "confidence without comprehension." Gen Z literary leader Hailey Colborn, raised inside the feed, says "Truth isn't something you find-it's something you perform." And futurists and reformers Juan Enriquez, Esther Dyson, Steve Fuller, and Eli Pariser each offer raw, urgent, and provocative visions on where Truth is headed-and whether we can still catch it before it falls off a cliff"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4703145</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4703145</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Rosenbaum, Steven]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4703145110</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How AI Reshapes Reality</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781637749104/MC.GIF&amp;client=mconpublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1550202247</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking Critically About What Matters]]></title><description><![CDATA["This guide deftly synthesizes the critical thinking mindset of thinking for yourself with the DIY punk rock ethos of doing things for yourself, presenting an actionable approach to critical thinking that will give you the philosophical tools you need to creatively embody these rebellious philosophical perspectives in your own life and work"--Provided by publisher]]></description><link>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4703133</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4703133</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Klipfel, Kevin Michael]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4703133110</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Punk Rock Guide</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798892553360/MC.GIF&amp;client=mconpublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1532838256</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life Hacks for ChatGPT Beginners]]></title><description><![CDATA[This practical guide introduces new users to ChatGPT and demonstrates how AI can assist with everyday tasks, from budgeting, meal planning, and travel arrangements to brainstorming ideas, organizing schedules, and solving routine problems.

Do you have a passion that you want to obsess about in a love letter to the world? In this new edition of Microcosm's popular DIY guide to zine-making, Joe Biel updates the information provided in the first edition (edited by Biel and the late and great Bill Brent) to address zine making in today's digital and social-media-obsessed world. Covering all the bases for beginners, Make a Zine! hits on more advanced topics like Creative Commons licenses, legality, and sustainability. Says Feminist Review, "Make a Zine! is an inspiring, easy, and digestible read for anyone, whether you're already immersed in a cut-and-paste world, a graphic designer with a penchant for radical thought, or a newbie trying to find the best way to make yourself and your ideas known." Illustrated by an army of notable and soon-to-be-notable artists and cartoonists, Make a Zine! also takes a look at the burgeoning indie comix scene, with a solid and comprehensive chapter by punk illustrator Fly (Slug and Lettuce, Peops). Part history lesson, part how-to guide, Make a Zine! is a call to arms, an ecstatic, positive rally cry in the face of TV show book clubs and bestsellers by celebrity chefs. As says Biel in the book's intro, "Let's go!" -- Publisher's website viewed on August 19, 2026.]]></description><link>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4700352</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4700352</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Biel, Joe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4700352110</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Start your Own Underground Publishing Revolution</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781648417429/MC.GIF&amp;client=mconpublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1527151044</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Digital Storytelling]]></title><description><![CDATA["We tell stories to make sense of chaos. We come to understand the world and our places in it through these stories. And we share these stories with others, finding points of connection. Storytelling is part of who we are and, with digital media, it's more accessible and adaptable than it has ever been. Since emerging in the 1990s, the field of digital storytelling has centred on a single model of story creation that remains in widespread use today. However, digital media, environments and communities have changed. It's time for the field of digital storytelling to change with them. Digital Storytelling provides a new, cutting-edge introduction to this topic. It sets an alternative agenda for the field: one that regards digital storytelling as characterised not by any particular kind of method or output, but by ongoing processes of meaning making in digital environments. Weaving historical references throughout, this textbook illustrates the interconnectedness of media, individual experiences, and society and culture. It shows that digital storytelling is a particular context of storytelling that has emerged from a confluence of traditions and technologies forever in flux. This original and landmark textbook is required reading for students of media, communications, sociology, cultural studies and English, as well as for anyone looking to understand the transformative power of digital storytelling in all of its forms." -- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4700346</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4700346</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Henrickson, Leah]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4700346110</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Introduction</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781509562169/MC.GIF&amp;client=mconpublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1504599855</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Marketing Children's Books for Introverts]]></title><description><![CDATA[This comprehensive guide to digital marketing leverages the modern age to help you succeed without stepping out of your comfort zone.

Indie authors use sales copy. It's key to making writing dreams as a business reality in this new world of self-publishing. But most of what you've been told about it is... bunkum. A bold statement. But a true one. Authors are hungry for how-to information so they can make their way in this new world. But the standard advice comes from other authors with no professional background in copywriting. Sadly, it's out of date, often wrong and holding you back. It's time to explore modern copywriting that taps into the latest neuroscience. It's time to discover real sales copy, and to dive deep where only a professional can take you. It's time to unleash its potential to drive your career. This book takes you on that journey. Learn: how experts leverage front and backmatter; which part of the brain makes decisions, and how to speak to it ; the art of using neuroscience to persuade ; why old marketing tactics are dying ; how, and where, to use cutting-edge sales copy that works in the digital age.

Ever since Alan Turing posed this question in an influential 1950 paper, it has been central to research in artificial intelligence. More than seventy-five years after Turing s paper, we grapple with it every time we wonder if Watson was actually smarter than Jeopardy! champions, or if ChatGPT really knows what it s talking about. In Thinking AI, computer scientist John MacCormick explores Turing s question from a perspective informed by a detailed understanding of the way modern AI systems work. MacCormick explains, in accessible fashion, the ideas behind the two main pillars of the twenty-first century AI revolution: deep neural networks and reinforcement learning.MacCormick offers a tour of the most famous AI systems, including AlexNet and VGG16, deep neural networks for object recognition that led to a Nobel prize; DeepMind s AlphaGo, which shocked AI researchers with its superhuman performance in the game of Go; and OpenAI s ChatGPT, which stunned the world with its natural language capabilities. He describes how each system works, and points to parallels with human brain processes. Both human minds and computer programs, MacCormick explains, can induce intelligence through emergence: the capability for new phenomena to emerge from the interactions of many small, simple components. Does this mean that a computer program can think like a human? In many ways, MacCormick argues, the answer is yes. In Thinking AI, he reveals a new landscape of emergent intelligence a world in which computer programs can emulate many or all aspects of human thinking but humanity retains its meaning and purpose.]]></description><link>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4704938</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S110C4704938</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[MacCormick, John]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mymcpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4704938110</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Artificial Intelligence Emulates Human Understanding</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780691191737/MC.GIF&amp;client=mconpublib&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Is AI?]]></title><description><![CDATA[It all began in 1822 when an English mathematician created the  Difference Engine,  the world s first mechanical calculating machine. Fast-forward two hundred years, and cars are beginning to drive themselves! How did this technology advance? Over a series of trials and errors, steps forward and back, AI, or artificial intelligence, has most steadily developed since the 1950s. By the '90s, AI technology began interacting with people in laboratories and at conferences, dazzling the world with its impressive knowledge and capabilities. The simulation of human intelligence by machines continues to revolutionize healthcare, transportation, and efficiency across the world.
