Description

From one of our leading experts on work and technology, a bold, clear-eyed, and hopeful guide to seizing opportunity in the age of AI

What should the next generation learn-and what should they stop worrying about-in a world transformed by artificial intelligence? AI is rewriting the rules in the classroom, the job market and the workplace, leaving parents, teachers, students and all types of workers unsure about how best to prepare for what lies ahead. In What Should My Children Do?, globally renowned economist Daniel Susskind cuts through the outdated advice to show us what young people actually need to succeed now.

We should not ban tools or discourage new skills that are in demand, Susskind argues, or cling to inherited ways of working. Instead, he reveals how people can master new technologies without eroding other essential skills. From reorganizing the curriculum to re-imagining white-collar careers, Susskind maps a smarter, more productive path forward.

This requires a fundamental mindset shift: we must embrace the extraordinary opportunities that AI brings-from personal tutors to scientific breakthroughs-rather than retreat from them. Drawing on fifteen years of research, this book is an evidence-based and practical guide to one of the most urgent questions of our time.

Bookseller Leah wants to tell you all about her latest venture into 'the end of the world...maybe?'

What would you do if you had minutes to live? Call your loved ones? Hug your pets? Run?
And what if it was a false alarm?
Seek Immediate Shelter explores how people act at the end of the world, and what they do when faced with the repercussions of their actions. There were characters who were cowards, who were villains, and who were selfless. Everyone likes to think they could be a hero, and this book highlights that so few of us could be.
