Lovely One: A Memoir

By Ketanji Brown Jackson

Supreme Court "Justice Jackson learned from her educator parents to take pride in her heritage since birth. She describes her resolve as a young girl to honor this legacy and realize her dreams: from hearing stories of her grandparents and parents breaking barriers in the segregated South, to honing her voice in high school as an oratory champion and student body president, to graduating magna cum laude from Harvard, where she performed in musical theater and improv and participated in pivotal student organizations. Here, Justice Jackson pulls back the curtain, marrying the public record of her life with what is less known.

Through trials and triumphs, Justice Jackson's journey will resonate with dreamers everywhere"--

The Atomic Human: What Makes Us Unique in the Age of AI

By Neil D Lawrence

"The greatest fear of AI is that it displaces human intelligence and decision-making entirely. Through brilliant storytelling from his personal and professional life, Neil D. Lawrence takes us on a remarkable journey of discovery to the invisible core of what makes us human -- our unique, irreplaceable intelligence that differs from that of the machine. That intelligence, however, is now under threat from technology companies building systems that lack social accountability and cannot be controlled by their creators. It doesn't have to be this way. As humans, we can control AI and decide what is right for society by understanding our intelligence in contrast to the new intelligence we are creating.

The Atomic Human reveals the technical origins, capabilities, and limitations of AI systems and how they should be wielded. Not just by the experts, but by ordinary people" --
