Život 3.0
Co se bude dít, až se nám podaří vytvořit umělou inteligenci (AI), která se svou silou vyrovná lidské? Max Tegmark nepochybuje, že k tomu jednou dojde, neboť už současný vývoj soustavně boří hranice, jež byly dříve považovány za nepřekonatelné. Autor považuje za prakticky jisté, že začne docházet k prudkému a nekontrolovatelnému růstu kapacity AI, který se záhy ocitne mimo naši představivost. Dojde totiž ke třetí fázi vývoje života, který si kromě softwaru začne navrhovat i svůj hardware. Jaká může být v nové situaci role člověka? Pokud lidé ovládají tygry nikoli proto, že jsou silnější, ale proto, že jsou inteligentnější, co je čeká tváří v tvář entitě s řádově vyšší kognitivní kapacitou? Mohou vymřít, v lepším případě se stát jakýmisi domácími mazlíčky v zoo spravované superinteligencí. Nebo snad mají ještě jinou šanci?Vychází ve spolupráci s nakladatelstvím Argo.
Love and Death in Kubrick
The films of Stanley Kubrick have left an indelible mark on the history of American cinema. This text explores the auteur's legacy, specifically positioning his body of work within the context of cultural theory. A single chapter is devoted to each of Kubrick's seven films: Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, and Eyes Wide Shut. Particular attention is paid to the role of love and death in Kubrick's films, emphasizing his innovative exploration of love and sex, and the portrayal of mortality via masculine violence.
The Concept of 'God'
God – the supernatural being, the perfect, the omnipotent and the omniscient originator, and ruler of the universe – is the object of worship in almost all religions across the world. Usually, people understand God through the religions they’re born in. This way, they get to learn how and why their Gods created reality and put them in it. But is this the only possible way to understand the entity? What if one takes an alternate route to understand God? What if one first understands the reality God created – the reality that everything and everyone’s a part of – and then identifies the entity itself? Reality includes everything around and inside it, and inevitably includes us. Understanding the reality requires a metaphysical analysis of life and the universe and metaphysics reaches an incredibly new level if the knowledge of the Western sciences is merged with the everlasting ideas of the Eastern spiritual philosophies! With multiple perspectives making the reader constantly inquisitive, The Concept of ‘God’ merges the knowledge of science and spirituality to understand the nature of life and reality and then finds out who the all-powerful God is!
Stanley Kubrick Director
Alexander Walker's Stanley Kubrick, Director is the only book ever written with Kubrick's cooperation. This new edition, revised and expanded to discuss all of Kubrick's films—including Eyes Wide Shut—again received the approval of the reclusive director, who before his death allowed the use of illustrations taken directly from his films' frames. The result is a frame-by-frame examination of the inimitable style that infuses every Kubrick movie, from the pitch-perfect hilarity of Lolita to the icy supremacy of 2001: A Space Odyssey to the baroque horror of The Shining. The book's beautiful design and dynamic arrangement of photographic stills offer a frame-by-frame understanding of how Kubrick constructed a film. What emerges is a deeply human study of one remarkable artist's nature and obsessions, and how these changed and shifted in his four decades as a filmmaker.
The Complete Kubrick
With just thirteen feature films in half a century, Stanley Kubrick established himself as one of the most accomplished directors in motion picture history. Kubrick created a landmark and a benchmark with every film; working in almost every genre imaginable, including film noir, war movie, SF, horror, period drama, historical epic, love story and satire - yet transcended traditional genre boundaries with every shot. Examining every feature film, from the early shorts through to classics such as Paths of Glory, Dr Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket and finally, Eyes Wide Shut, The Complete Kubrick provides a unique insight into understanding the work of cinema's most enigmatic, iconoclastic and gifted auteur.
The Robot Will See You Now
The last decade has seen dramatic advances in artificial intelligence and robotics technology, raising tough questions that need to be addressed.

Considering the role of artificial intelligence in areas such as medicine, employment and security, the book looks at how AI is perceived as well as its actual impact on human interactions and relationships. Alongside are theological respons...
La vie 3.0
De quelle façon l’intelligence artificielle va-t-elle s’immiscer dans notre société ? Les machines finiront-elles par nous surpasser et prendre notre place sur le marché du travail ? Cette utopie transhumaniste, certains pensent qu’elle deviendra réalité dans le courant de ce siècle. Et si ces recherches aboutissent, que se passera-t-il ? Ne sommes-nous pas en train de fabriquer ce qui fera notre perte ? Comment éviter que les machines prennent le dessus ? Quel futur voulons-nous pour les générations à venir ? Dans ce livre, Max Tegmark fait le point sur les recherches en cours, sur les conséquences heureuses et néfastes qu’elles pourraient avoir dans des domaines aussi ...
Eyes Wide Shut
Twenty years since its release, Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut remains a complex, visually arresting film about domesticity, sexual disturbance, and dreams. It was on the director's mind for some 50 years before he finally put it into production. Using the Stanley Kubrick Archive at the University of the Arts, London, and interviews with participants in the production, the authors create an archeology of the film that traces the progress of the film from its origins to its completion, reception, and afterlife. The book is also an appreciation of this enigmatic work and its equally enigmatic creator.
On Kubrick
On Kubrick provides an illuminating critical account of the films of Stanley Kubrick, from his earliest feature, Fear and Desire (1953), to the posthumously-produced A.I. Artificial Intelligence (Steven Spielberg, 2001). The book offers provocative analysis of each of Kubrick's films, together with new information about their production histories and cultural contexts. Its ultimate aim is to provide a concise yet thorough discussion that will be useful as both an academic text and a trade publication. James Naremore argues that in several respects Kubrick was one of the cinema's last modernists: his taste and sensibility were shaped by the artistic culture of New York in the 1950s; he became...
