"When it comes to predicting how technology changes our near future, there are two camps. One says we live at a time of a "new normal" where we've netted all the low-hanging fruit and ordering a ride or food on a smartphone is as good as it's going to get. The other camp sees lots of changes but mainly in destroying jobs and traditional businesses. They're both wrong, predicts Mark P. Mills, whose earlier book "The Bottomless Well" debunked the bleak consensus view that the world had reached "peak oil" production in the early 2000s. History will record the 2020s as one of the episodic pivots in human progress where technology-driven prosperity goes into high gear. And it doesn't come from any single 'big' invention, but from the convergence of radical advances in technologies in three domains: the "Cloud," history's biggest and newest infrastructure, built from next-generation microprocessors and democratizing artificial intelligence; new kinds of machines used for making and moving everything; and the emergence of unprecedented and novel materials from which everything is built. We've seen this pattern before. The structure of the technological revolution that drove the last long-run expansion can be traced to the 1920s. It too came from the same kind of convergence: a new information infrastructure (telephony), new machines (cars and power plants), and new materials (plastics and pharmaceuticals). It's true that we've wrung all the magic out of the last boom. But the next one starts now. The U.S. is again at the epicenter of these innovations, one that promise to upend the status quo in manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, education, energy and entertainment"-- Provided by publisher

Vtipný román o vytváraní puta medzi psom a jeho majiteľom.
Môže byť najlepší priateľ človeka aj jeho strážnym anjelom?
Hovorí sa, že pes je najlepší priateľ človeka. Máte aj vy takého? Ak nie, nech sa páči, zoznámte sa… (Hoci jeho majiteľ si o ňom spočiatku myslí čosi úplne iné.) Volá sa Peso, je škaredý, biely, takmer bezsrstý a nesmierne vzdorovitý. Vyzerá akoby vpálil hlavou do múru a vykašľal sa na plastickú operáciu. Jednoducho tej krásy príliš nepodedil, chudák.
Dan, autor reklamných sloganov a komiksov, nie je padavka, ale ani agresívny snaživec. Rád jazdí pomaly, na mobile lúšti sudoku a nový sveter si kúpi až vtedy, keď obnosí ten starý. Už štyri roky žije s Clarou a je šťastný. Jedného dňa ho však Clara znenazdajky opustí, nechá mu len dlhý list plný obvinení a, samozrejme… Pesa, ktorého nikdy nemal rád. A tak Dan, ktorý je už niekoľko týždňov bez práce, prichádza ešte aj o priateľku, a na krku mu ostane vzdorovitý pes, ktorého nikdy nechcel. Lenže zbaviť sa ho nie je až také ľahké. Rozhodne sa, že mu nájde nový domov, ale každý vie, ako to väčšinou dopadne, keď má človek tie najlepšie úmysly. Navyše sa ukáže, že Peso je vskutku nezvyčajný štvornohý kamarát... a jedna veľká inšpirácia. Práve toto škaredé psie stvorenie vnáša do príbehu veľkú radosť a potešenie.
