From Azeem Azhar, renowned technology analyst and host of the global tech podcast Exponential View, comes a bold exploration and call-to-arms over the widening gap between AI, automation, and big data--and our ability to deal with its effects We are living in the first exponential age. High-tech innovations are created at a dazzling speed; technological forces we barely understand remake our homes and workplaces; centuries-old tenets of politics and economics are upturned by new technologies. It all points to a world that is getting faster at a dizzying pace. Azeem Azhar knows this better than most. Over the last three decades he has founded companies bought by Amazon and Microsoft, served as the Economist's first ever internet correspondent, and created a leading international tech newsletter and podcast, the Exponential View. Now, Azhar offers a revelatory new model for understanding how technology--especially that of Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google, and Spotify--is changing the world. He roots his analysis in the idea of an "exponential gap," in which technological changes rapidly outpace our society's ability to catch up with them. Azhar shows that this divide explains many problems of our time--from political polarization to ballooning inequality to unchecked corporate power. With stunning clarity of vision, he delves into how the exponential gap is a near-inevitable consequence of the rise of AI, automation, and big data. And he offers a set of policy solutions that can prevent the growing exponential gap from destroying our societies. The result is a wholly new way to think about technology. It will transform your understanding of the economy, politics, and the future.

This book is a quiet rebellion. A collection of moments we avoid, emotions we swallow, and truths we never name—until now. The Rooms We Never Entered is not just poetry; it's a slow unfolding of every shadow we've lived with. It is for the ones who held back, who kept the door closed to their own voice. Each poem is a room of memory, loss, growth, and return. The kind of rooms that change you when you walk in. This book was written not to impress, but to reach—for the heart reading in silence, for the soul still searching for a way home.

There’s a colourful world under the sea where coral reefs are and even deep down where it is dark and quiet. It’s the home of the giant whale shark and little sea creatures. Author and illustrator Nor Azhar Ishak has created an excellent book for children ranging in age from five to ten years. It contains facts on many of the creatures that live under the sea coupled with his colourful illustrations using the batik method of painting on fabric. There is one extra feature that fascinates children; each colour illustration is accompanied by a black and white replica that children can colour. This is bound to keep them occupied for many happy hours. - Samsung Kidstime Author's Award 2016 Second Prize Winner
