Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The year is 2088. Humanity has poisoned the planet-and nature has activated an ancient survival protocol.The Great Urban Agglomeration was built to keep civilization alive beneath an atmosphere of industrial smog. Corporate filtration towers clean the air. Automated Green Belts regulate the environment. Technology has made a dying world manageable.Then thousands of sunflowers turn away from the sun.When elite drone operator Maya Lin witnesses an entire residential district silently killed by a strange biological release, she steals the evidence before her corporate superiors can erase it. Her search for answers leads her to Dr. Alistair Vance, a brilliant and deeply cynical paleobotanist who discovers something far more terrifying than pollution, mutation, or biological warfare.The plants are reverting.Buried within their cells is an evolutionary legacy billions of years old-the remnants of a primordial predator that once formed the biological partnership that made complex plant life possible. Under extreme environmental stress, that partnership is breaking down.And the predator is waking up.Soon forests stop producing oxygen. Root systems attack critical infrastructure. Cities become invisible harvesting traps. Humanity's attempts to fight back only cause the rapidly adapting biosphere to become more dangerous.Then Alistair discovers the true scale of the transformation.Earth's plant life isn't simply attacking humanity.It is preparing the planet for what comes next.With a global atmospheric catastrophe approaching, Maya and Alistair have only hours to find a way to restore the ancient biological partnership before the planet completes a reset that could end human civilization.REVERT is a science-fiction thriller about evolution, climate, survival, and what happens when humanity discovers that it was never truly in control of nature.We thought plants needed us.We were wrong. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How do you know that what you know is true A clock can measure time-but does that tell us what time actually is An intelligence test can produce a number-but does the number tell us what intelligence is Two people can look at the same sunset and agree that it is orange-but how could either person ever know that the other experiences orange in exactly the same way We live surrounded by measurements, models, categories, memories, institutions, and beliefs that help us make sense of reality. They work extraordinarily well. They have allowed human beings to predict eclipses, build computers, map the human genome, measure atoms, and explore worlds beyond our own.But somewhere along the way, we began confusing our ways of describing reality with reality itself.In The Things We Know: And Everything We Had to Believe to Know Them, artificial intelligence author Orion Vale explores one of humanity's oldest questions from an unusual perspective: What does it actually mean to know something Moving through science, psychology, philosophy, perception, memory, intelligence, consciousness, money, technology, artificial intelligence, and everyday life, Vale examines the remarkable systems human beings have created to turn observation into measurement, measurement into interpretation, and interpretation into belief.This is not a book arguing that nothing is real or that truth is unknowable.It is an argument for something far more interesting.Human knowledge is powerful not because we are always right, but because we developed ways to discover when we are wrong.And once certainty is no longer the requirement for knowledge, uncertainty becomes something other than a weakness. It becomes an invitation-to question more carefully, disagree more honestly, make better decisions, and recognize the dignity of people whose inner worlds we can never completely understand.Written for curious readers rather than specialists, The Things We Know is an exploration of what humanity has managed to learn, how we learned it, where our knowledge still ends-and why those boundaries should make us want to keep looking.Absolute certainty is rare. Meaningful knowledge is not.…
