How To Talk To Robots: 

A Girls’ Guide To a Future Dominated by AI  

by Tabitha Goldstaub 

How To Talk To Robots, is your girls guide to Artificial Intelligence. Entrepreneur Tabitha Goldstaub welcomes you into the AI world with a warm embrace. She brilliantly breaks down the tech-bro barriers offering a straightforward introduction and makes clear the enormous benefits of understanding AI.

If your social feed defines your spending habits or you’ve downloaded the latest filter to see what you’ll look like when you are old or now connect with your doctor using an app, have applied for a job online or used your phone to arrive at work in record time, AI is playing a part in how you live, work and play. We live in an era where machines are taught to learn and act without human intervention and there are infinite possibilities to their applications. The risk of these technologies biasing against you is real, and this book will give you tools to navigate the current and future developments consciously.

As well as explaining the risks Tabitha lays out the awesome benefits AI can offer. From spotting disease to tailoring education and tackling climate change the potential rewards are life-changing.

Starting with a potted history, Tabitha shines a light on the many unsung heroines since the rise of AI in the 1960s. In conversation with Karen Hao she simply demonstrates how the technology works (and sometimes doesn’t work!) and interviews a cross-section of women who use AI in their work today including Jeanette Winterson, Sharmadean Reid, Martha Lane Fox and Hannah Fry. This book doesn’t just present the challenge; Tabitha offers supportive practical advice and shares an extensive list of books, films, courses and more for further exploration.

However it is that you identify with womanhood, wherever you are in life, and whatever you do, this technology is inescapable and now is your time to make sure AI works for you – and not you for it!

Mafia Madame by Alexa Spagnoli

 Mafia Madame 

by Alexa Spagnoli 

In The Eighties, Las Vegas was an amazing, glitzy, non-stop human circus fueled by booze, gambling, drugs and sex. This amazing scene is the lush backdrop for the story of an eighteen-year old girl walking into a den of thieves with eyes wide open, but oblivious to it all. 

The story begins with a counterfeiter in Chicago and chronicles his rise to Las Vegas high roller. In his thirties, he is busted for counterfeiting by the first African-American Secret Service agent, Abraham Bolden, appointed to the White House detail by JFK himself. 

The twisted tale of their connection is chronicled along with the gangster’s rise to major earner for the Chicago Outfit. When the gangster’s son meets the wide-eyed eighteen-year old girl, the story really begins.

Her name is Cyn. In 1984 she arrived in Sin City and walked directly into a web of deception where nothing was as it seemed and no one was who they said they were. In this shadowy world, the barely-legal sex industry was a major source of cash business for the Chicago bosses. Mafia Madame tells the story of the Spilotro’s killers and the bloody trail of mayhem that occurred in the power vacuum left by their death. Vegas was up for grabs and Chicago, Detroit and New York families were locked in a territorial struggle to stake their claim in the Gold Rush that was Eighties Vegas. 

Cyn and her New York Mafia business rival are locked in a struggle to control the lucrative Vegas sex industry when Cyn comes up with a brilliant plan. Her series of dangerous and bold choices lead to a rich and surprising odyssey of love, family and loyalty.

Blank: Why it's fine to falter and fail, and how to pick yourself up again by Giles Paley-Phillips and Jim Daly

 

Blank: 

Why it's fine to falter and fail, and how to pick yourself up again 

by Giles Paley-Phillips and Jim Daly 

Whether in your personal life, career, relationship, or in a public situation, writer's block, social anxiety, imposter syndrome, being off-form or having an identity crisis can affect anyone at any time. It's part of the human condition and yet it can throw us off course and make us feel helpless.

Giles Paley-Phillips and Jim Daly host an informal, insightful podcast in which they chat to well-known people from comedy, acting, writing, broadcasting, politics and sports about their careers and how they get through these moments when things aren't going to plan. 

Some of the recurring themes include public failure, social anxieties, fear, mental health, grief and more. This, their first book, looks at the common experiences and lessons they've encountered while talking to guests such as Amanda Abbington, Rufus Hound, Reginald D Hunter, Jon Ronson, Dawn French, Rufus Sewell and Gary Lineker.

Blank moments allow us to reset and see things differently. Far from being setbacks, they can be the impetus for clarity and creativity. 

Identify your blank moments and jump in - you never know what you might find.

What Are You Looking At?: 150 Years of Modern Art in the Blink of an Eye by Will Gompertz

What Are You Looking At?: 

150 Years of Modern Art in the Blink of an Eye 

by Will Gompertz  

What is modern art? Why do we either love it or loathe it? And why is it worth so much damn money? Join Will Gompertz on a dazzling tour that will change the way you look at modern art forever. 

From Monet's water lilies to Van Gogh's sunflowers, from Warhol's soup cans to Hirst's pickled shark, hear the stories behind the masterpieces, meet the artists as they really were, and discover the real point of modern art.

You will learn: not all conceptual art is bollocks; Picasso is king (but Cézanne is better); Pollock is no drip; Dali painted with his moustache; a urinal changed the course of art, why your 5-year-old really couldn't do it. 

Refreshing, irreverent and always straightforward, What Are You Looking At? cuts through the pretentious art speak and asks all the basic questions that you were too afraid to ask. 

Your next gallery trip is going to be a little less intimidating and a lot more interesting.

Boxer Boys (3 Book Series) by Nick Rippington

 

Boxer Boys (3 Book Series) 

by Nick Rippington

Sometimes your best friend can be your worst enemy

In Book One of the Boxer Boys series, talented 13-year-old sportsman Gary Marshall experiences the realities of living in a poor suburb when knife-wielding thugs try to rob him of his bike. Rescued by streetwise tough kid Arnie Dolan and his dog Stevo, the two strike up a close bond, forming a gang called the Boxer Boys to protect themselves and their territory.

When Gary accepts trials with a professional football club, the boys go their separate ways, only to be thrown back together when his parents split up. As Gary's world spins out of control he suffers a horrific injury on a night out and worse is to follow when the Boxer Boys get caught up in a street brawl which leaves a man dead.

Torn apart by circumstance it isn’t until eight years later that Arnie seeks out his former partner-in-crime.

So where is Gary? And why is he so keen to let the past stay in the past?

1982: Thatcher, the Falklands War and a criminal on the rise
In Book Two of the Boxer Boys series, Hard man Big Mo rules family and friends with a rod of iron. From his base in a rundown area of London, he is driven by a desire to emerge from the shadow of his career criminal father and lift his family out of the poverty trap.

When a warehouse raid turns up more than he bargains for, Mo finds himself in possession of the tools he needs to transform himself from petty criminal to big-time armed robber.

Planning the ultimate raid, Mo seems to have everything under control until Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher orders British troops – including his younger brother Clive – to war in the Falklands. As Mo fights the police and his own vicious temper, Clive faces a battle for survival in the desolate south Atlantic.

Eventually their two worlds will collide, threatening Mo and all he holds dear.

A savage murder, a killer on the loose...

In Book Three of the Boxer Boys series, Arnie Dolan is back – and this time he’s in a wheelchair. Ousted from his gang, it looks like his time at the top of the criminal underworld is over... but if you think that, you don’t know Arnie.

By contrast, life couldn't be much better for his former best mate Gareth Prince. The sports reporter has landed a promotion on his newspaper, the Sunday Tribune Despatch, scooped a major award and moved in with girlfriend Anjie and son Max. A life free from Arnie is just what the doctor ordered.

That is until tragedy strikes to rock both their worlds. Forming an uneasy truce, they set about finding the person responsible for a brutal murder. But soon they encounter hostility both home and abroad with the Brexit debate raging and hooligans rampaging through Marseille.

What Doesn't Kill You: A Life with Chronic Illness - Lessons from a Body in Revolt by Tessa Miller

 What Doesn't Kill You: 

A Life with Chronic Illness - 

Lessons from a Body in Revolt  

by Tessa Miller 

The riveting account of a young journalist’s awakening to chronic illness, weaving together personal story and reporting to shed light on living with an ailment forever

Tessa Miller was an ambitious twenty something writer in New York City when, on a random fall day, her stomach began to seize up. At first, she toughed it out through searing pain, taking sick days from work, unable to leave the bathroom or her bed. 

But when it became undeniable that something was seriously wrong, Miller gave in to family pressure and went to the hospital―beginning a years long nightmare of procedures, misdiagnoses, and life-threatening infections. Once she was finally correctly diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, Miller faced another battle: accepting that she will never get better.

Today, an astonishing three in five adults in the United States suffer from a chronic disease―a percentage expected to rise post-Covid. Whether the illness is arthritis, asthma, Crohn's, diabetes, endometriosis, multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, or any other incurable illness, and whether the sufferer is a colleague, a loved one, or you, these diseases have an impact on just about every one of us. 

Yet there remains an air of shame and isolation about the topic of chronic sickness. Millions must endure these disorders not only physically but also emotionally, balancing the stress of relationships and work amid the ever-present threat of health complications.

Miller segues seamlessly from her dramatic personal experiences into a frank look at the cultural realities (medical, occupational, social) inherent in receiving a lifetime diagnosis. She offers hard-earned wisdom, solidarity, and an ultimately surprising promise of joy for those trying to make sense of it all.
