Download or read book BREXIT - What the Hell Happened? written by Christopher Bartram and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you only purchase one book about Brexit this is the one for you and the most comprehensive, written not by a politician or political journalist from the Westminster bubble but by someone who witnessed and experienced the frustrations, hate and anger from both sides firsthand. 535 pages of pure information, arguments, facts, logic, and history that will open your eyes to many issues and challenges the UK faced and will face in the coming years! Brexit is the most important political and economic decision of a generation but what really happened? This is the only current book that addresses both sides of the argument including those of Leave and counter remain arguments. The facts, the issues, the rumours and lies combined with the impassioned arguments, how the flawed EU referendum campaigns by all parties failed to properly inform the voting public plus reports of illegal activities and foreign influence all contributed to the misinformation aided hugely by social Media. The UK public's understanding of the EU and its role within the UK were all reasons for voting leave based on false information and lies but also frustrations of austerity and being left behind. The British people's fear of losing their identity, their NHS, social care, monetary system and their ability to legally govern themselves all played into the hands of the referendum result and the chaos that ensued.What of sovereignty and independence? What is democracy and how has it changed? Who are the personalities and what lies / alternative facts have been used? What is going to be the cost and benefits of Brexit? How will families and communities heal the internal rifts that have been created by Brexit? What role did racism, the impact of immigration and multiculturalism play? Hard and soft Brexit, what will the UK stand to lose or gain? What exactly did voters vote for and vote against? AND who are the winners and losers? What role will Boris Johnson play going forward in "Getting Brexit done"?Brexit - what the hell happened provides you with so much information, facts and analysis you will learn many things you were not aware of as well as getting a good understanding of what could happen in the next 2-10 years and how it will affect our country, economy and social fabric.Christopher takes the reader on a road trip through the components of Brexit pointing out the interesting and sometimes scary sights whilst adding his own personal experiences to them.

Download or read book The Last Invention written by Tom Chivers and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made of atoms which it can use for something else' This is a book about AI and AI risk. But it's also more importantly about a community of people who are trying to think rationally about intelligence, and the places that these thoughts are taking them, and what insight they can and can't give us about the future of the human race over the next few years. It explains why these people are worried, why they might be right, and why they might be wrong. It is a book about the cutting edge of our thinking on intelligence and rationality right now by the people who stay up all night worrying about it. Along the way, we discover why we probably don't need to worry about a future AI resurrecting a perfect copy of our minds and torturing us for not inventing it sooner, but we perhaps should be concerned about paperclips destroying life as we know it; how Mickey Mouse can teach us an important lesson about how to programme AI; and why Spock is not as logical as we think he is.
