El libro busca plantear preguntas sobre las implicaciones éticas y sociales de entregar el control de nuestra vida y nuestro mundo a un ser artificial.

Las vacunas han erradicado peligrosas enfermedades y evitado epidemias. Sin embargo, para favorecer la vacunación y lograr la inmunidad del rebaño, buena parte de la información relevante permanece silenciada. Las estadísticas indican que ciertas vacunas pueden provocar daños irreversibles en una ínfima cantidad de casos. Pero, ¿qué ocurriría si tu hijo fuera el caso dentro de esa cantidad ínfima? Si el conocimiento informado y libre forma parte incuestionable de la ética médica, ¿por qué se soslayan ciertos datos con respecto a las vacunas? ¿Sabes cómo se componen las vacunas, cómo se conservan y qué sustancias se utilizan como adyuvantes? ¿Sabes qué condiciones pueden desatar severos daños post-vacunales? La cuestión excede la dicotomía sanitarismo versus derechos individuales, o pro-vacunas versus anti-vacunas, abarca importantes variables económicas y políticas. Ya que las cifras demuestran que el segmento de las vacunas es uno de los más rentables dentro del negocio farmacéutico, cabe recordar que la vacunación es una intervención médica y por supuesto puede prevenir enfermedades, pero también posee el potencial de dañar.
The Pandemials are the young people who will be between the ages of 10 and 26 after the pandemic is over. They will be faced with societies devastated by inequality, the end of meritocracy, loneliness, digital automation, the depletion of natural resources and a myriad of environmental crises that will deeply affect life on our planet. In addition to lacking the economic prosperity enjoyed by their parents –which for example granted them access to university educations or to more comfortable lives– this generation will also face fewer job opportunities, discouraging prospects and a growing need to radicalize their complaints. Covid-19 has not only aggravated this scenario, which was alre...
Wim Hof, an athlete from Holland, also known as the "Iceman", holds several Guinness records and is famous for developing the method that bears his name: a combination of exposure to extreme cold with breathing and meditation techniques. Hof himself claims to have "invented nothing". However, the system he offers is patented and has led him to have millions of followers and hundreds of certified disciples who teach the method around the world. Is it a combination of techniques that could indeed improve our quality of life?
The central purpose of this collection of essays is to make a creative addition to the debates surrounding the cultural heritage domain. In the 21st century the world faces epochal changes which affect every part of society, including the arenas in which cultural heritage is made, held, collected, curated, exhibited, or simply exists. The book is about these changes; about the decentring of culture and cultural heritage away from institutional structures towards the individual; about the questions which the advent of digital technologies is demanding that we ask and answer in relation to how we understand, collect and make available Europe’s cultural heritage. Cultural heritage has enormou...

A NEW TRANSLATION BY MICHAEL MORPURGO, AUTHOR OF WAR HORSE Meet the Little Prince, a young fellow who hails from a tiny, distant planet. He loves to watch sunsets and look after his flower, to ask questions and to laugh. And now here he is on Earth, appearing out of nowhere in the middle of the desert, looking for a friend. The friend he finds is the narrator of this story – a pilot who has crash landed and is in grave danger of dying of thirst. The Little Prince might be just a boy but he can help our pilot. Because he understands the really important things in life – things like flowers, stars, a drink of water or laughing. Many grown-ups have lost sight of what matters and children have to remember to be tolerant towards them. But adult or child, very silly or very wise, this story is for you. Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can read a letter from master storyteller and translator of this book Michael Morpurgo!
