Futureproof: 9 reglas para los humanos en la era de la automatizacion
¿Qué significa ser humano en un mundo construido cada vez más por y para máquinas? Las máquinas ya están aquí; la automatización está sustituyendo los trabajos de las personas, la inteligencia artificial se ha colocado en el centro de los negocios y de nuestras vidas, y los algoritmos dan forma a todo lo que nos rodea. EnFutureproof: 9 reglas para los humanos en la era de la automatización, Kevin Roose rechaza la creencia popular de que paracompetir con las máquinas tenemos que parecernos a ellas: hipereficientes, basadas en datos, caballos de batalla al servicio del código. En su lugar, sostiene que debemos dejar a las máquinas ser máquinas y enfocarnos en hacer las actividades creativas, inspiradoras y con sentido que nos distinguen como seres humanos. Para lograrlo, nos comparte nueve lecciones para reflexionar, sobrevivir al cambio tecnológico y proteger nuestro futuro: Regla 1. Sé sorprendente, sociable y excepcional. Regla 2. Resiste el embate de las máquinas. Regla 3. Haz a un lado tus dispositivos. Regla 4. Deja huella. Regla 5. No seas un punto de conexión. Regla 6. Trata la IA como si fuera un ejército de chimpancés. Regla 7. Construye redes grandes y pequeñas. Regla 8. Aprende humanidades para la era de las máquinas. Regla 9. Arma a los rebeldes. Una visión pragmática y esperanzadora sobre cómo podemos defendernos del paso arrasador de la automatización y cómo alcanzar el éxito en la era de las máquinas al convertirnos en humanos irremplazables.

Young Money: Inside the Hidden World of Wall Street's Post-Crash Recruits
Becoming a young Wall Street banker is like pledging the world's most lucrative and soul-crushing fraternity. Every year, thousands of eager college graduates are hired by the world's financial giants, where they're taught the secrets of making obscene amounts of money-- as well as how to dress, talk, date, drink, and schmooze like real financiers. YOUNG MONEY Inside the Hidden World of Wall Street's Post-Crash Recruits YOUNG MONEY is the inside story of this well-guarded world. Kevin Roose, New York magazine business writer and author of the critically acclaimed The Unlikely Disciple, spent more than three years shadowing eight entry-level workers at Goldman Sachs, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, and other leading investment firms. Roose chronicled their triumphs and disappointments, their million-dollar trades and runaway Excel spreadsheets, and got an unprecedented (and unauthorized) glimpse of the financial world's initiation process. Roose's young bankers are exposed to the exhausting workloads, huge bonuses, and recreational drugs that have always characterized Wall Street life. But they experience something new, too: an industry forever changed by the massive financial collapse of 2008. And as they get their Wall Street educations, they face hard questions about morality, prestige, and the value of their work. YOUNG MONEY is more than an exposé of excess; it's the story of how the financial crisis changed a generation-and remade Wall Street from the bottom up.

The Unlikely Disciple: A Sinner's Semester at America's Holiest University
No drinking. No smoking. No cursing. No dancing. No R-rated movies. Kevin Roose wasn't used to rules like these. As a sophomore at Brown University, he spent his days drinking fair-trade coffee, singing in an a cappella group, and fitting right in with Brown's free-spirited, ultra-liberal student body. But when Roose leaves his Ivy League confines to spend a semester at Liberty, a conservative Baptist school in Lynchburg, Virginia, obedience is no longer optional. Liberty is the late Reverend Jerry Falwell's "Bible Boot Camp" for young evangelicals, his training ground for the next generation of America's Religious Right. Liberty's ten thousand undergraduates take courses like Evangelism 101, hear from guest speakers like Sean Hannity and Karl Rove, and follow a forty-six-page code of conduct that regulates every aspect of their social lives. Hoping to connect with his evangelical peers, Roose decides to enroll at Liberty as a new transfer student, leaping across the God Divide and chronicling his adventures in this daring report from the front lines of America's culture war. His journey takes him from an evangelical hip-hop concert to choir practice at Falwell's legendary Thomas Road Baptist Church. He experiments with prayer, participates in a spring break mission trip to Daytona Beach (where he learns to preach the gospel to partying coeds), and pays a visit to Every Man's Battle, an on-campus support group for chronic masturbators. He meets pastors' kids, closet doubters, Christian rebels, and conducts what would be the last print interview of Rev. Falwell's life. Hilarious and heartwarming, respectful and thought-provoking, THE UNLIKELY DISCIPLE will inspire and entertain believers and nonbelievers alike.
