  • How to Talk to AI

    £11.99

    Knowing how to speak to AI – and how not to – is a skill that everyone now needs. This book will help the reader understand how to make the most of these technologies, without succumbing to new powers of manipulation and control. Hundreds of millions of people now talk to AI like ChatGPT every day. They organise their finances and holidays, ask advice, seek therapy and find love – via machines. This is one of the biggest and fastest technological changes in history – but most people still don’t really understand how AI works, how to make the most of it – or what the dangers are. As some people use it to turbo-charge their productivity at work, others are falling into dangerous conspiracies, delusions and psychosis. Tech commentator Jamie Bartlett takes the reader inside the machine: showing how we can stay in control of our powerful new companions, even as they are changing the way we live, feel, and think.

  • Let Go

    £14.99

    As we grow older, human beings accumulate more and more unnecessary things just by living. And not just objects, we accrue connections and status in addition to expensive goods. If you don’t throw these things away as soon as possible, you become a person who can’t throw things away. Before you know it, your life is full of noise. You’re tied up. Full of anxiety about the future. This book provides an overview of the top ten things you can let go of in five of the most important areas of your life: money and the things you own, your working life, your physical and mental health, your relationships and your lifestyle. All of the ’50 Things’ included in this book centre on the idea that minimalism can have a hugely positive impact on your life by clearing away the noise.

  • Maternity Service

    £11.99

    When Emma Barnett began her second maternity leave, she realized that, despite having been there before, as soon as her first leave finished the rose-tinted lenses had descended and she immediately forgot what the experience was actually like when you’re in it. This collective forgetting, which leads to well-meaning comments such as ‘enjoy every minute’ and ‘treasure this special time’, is doing a disservice to women, leaving them unprepared for the more complicated reality of what it means to be on maternity service. In this warmly reassuring, refreshingly honest book, Emma sets out to capture this reality, in real time while on her latest tour of duty. She isn’t offering advice on sleep-training or weaning or helping your baby reach milestones. Instead, this is a celebration and acknowledgement of the work of being on maternity leave, with its soaring highs and challenging lows, and its impact on how women feel about our purpose and o

Or even Crossrail and George Bush’s ‘mission accomplished’? ‘The Bright Side’ makes a vital and transformative new argument: that optimism is not only the natural state of humanity, but an essential one.
