THE BIG NINE: HOW THE TECH TITANS AND THEIR THINKING MACHINES COULD WARP HUMANITY
Author:Amy Webb
Publisher:Public Affairs
Call Number:006.300/W1
Location:Area C
Synopsis:
A call-to-arms about the broken nature of artificial intelligence, and the powerful corporations that are turning the human-machine relationship on its head.
We like to think that we are in control of the future of “artificial” intelligence. The reality, though, is that we–the everyday people whose data powers AI–aren’t actually in control of anything. When, for example, we speak with Alexa, we contribute that data to a system we can’t see and have no input into one largely free from regulation or oversight. The big nine corporations-Amazon, Google, Facebook, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba, Microsoft, IBM and Apple are the new gods of AI and are short-changing our futures to reap immediate financial gain.
In this book, Amy Webb reveals the pervasive, invisible ways in which the foundations of AI-the people working on the system, their motivations, the technology itself is broken. Within our lifetimes, AI will, by design, begin to behave unpredictably, thinking and acting in ways which defy human logic. The big nine corporations may be inadvertently building and enabling vast arrays of intelligent systems that don’t share our motivations, desires, or hopes for the future of humanity.
Much more than a passionate, human-centered call-to-arms, this book delivers a strategy for changing course, and provides a path for liberating us from algorithmic decision-makers and powerful corporations.

Wherever we are in the world, as humans we’re all striving for happiness – a feeling of wellbeing and calm amidst the everyday struggles and chaos. What differs is how we pursue that happiness, and there is a range of practices to be discovered in countries around the globe. From searching for ikigai (the ‘meaning of life’) in Japan or taking a fika coffee break in Sweden, to heading for the hills to clear the mind in Norway or appreciating the art of gezellig (‘cosiness’) in the Netherlands.
Featuring 20 philosophies paired together with gorgeous illustrations, each chapter in The Globetrotter’s Guide to Happiness includes an overview of that philosophy, where it originates from, its meaning to that culture, how it can be adopted by anyone around the world and ways to implement the philosophy in everyday life at home. There’s also information on places you can travel to experience the philosophy a little deeper, and interviews with people who very much practice what they preach, all wrapped up in a beautiful package.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SLAVERY
Author:Jeremy Black
Publisher:Robinson
Call Number:306.000/B2
Location:Area C
Synopsis:
A thought-provoking and important book that raises essential issues crucial not only for understanding our past but also the present day.
In this panoramic history, Jeremy Black tells how slavery was first developed in the ancient world, and reaches all the way to the present in the form of contemporary crimes such as trafficking and bonded labour. He shows how slavery has taken many forms throughout history and across the world from the uprising of Spartacus, the plantations of the West Indies, and the murderous forced labour of the gulags and concentration camps.
Slavery helped to consolidate transoceanic empires and helped mould new world societies such as America and Brazil. Black charts the long fight for abolition in the nineteenth century, looking at both the campaigners as well as the harrowing accounts of the enslaved themselves.
Slavery is still with us today, and coerced labour can be found closer to home than one might expect.

PATTANI adalah negeri Melayu yang terletak di tanah genting Kra, selatan Thailand. Pada abad ke-11 Masehi, Islam sudah mulai tersebar luas di Pattani. Seiring perkembangannya, Raja Pattani, Phya Tu antara yang memeluk Islam dan berganti nama menjadi Sultan Ismail Syah Zhillullah fi al-Ardl. Pada abad ke-15, hampir keseluruhan wilayah Pattani telah memeluk agama Islam.
Dalam perkembangannya, lahir ramai ulama besar dari daerah ini, antaranya adalah Syaikh Daud al-Fattani. Dengan tersebarnya Islam secara luas di Pattani, terbentuk dua wilayah kebudayaan di kawasan tanah genting Kra, yang dibezakan oleh dua agama iaitu Islam dan Buddha.
Kemudian, kerajaan Thailand meletakkan pejuang pembebasan Islam Pattani sebagai ‘pemberontak’. Akibatnya, tidak ada lagi dialog dan pembicaraan dari hati ke hati antara kerajaan pusat dengan masyarakat Islam, khususnya di Pattani. Sikap kerajaan Thailand yang bongkak ini akhirnya melahirkan banyak kesengsaraan kepada umat Islam terutama dengan pendekatan ketenteraan yang diambil oleh Siam.

Sinopsis:
Menjadi pengarang mudah tetapi dalam mudah masih ada payahnya. Tugas pengarang meneroka persekitaran yang dekat dengan pengalaman, menarik keluar sesuatu yang seni dari dalam diri, lalu digubah menjadi karya yang bakal dinikmati pembaca.
Pengarang memberi jiwa kepada ceritanya dengan menghidupkan kisah yang padat pelbagai rasa. Ria, sayu, optimis, pesimis, manis, pahit, teradun lengkap. Pastinya karya yang ada jiwa akan menyentuh dan menyegarkan jiwa manusia lain pula.
Antologi ini menghimpunkan cerita-cerita manusia; daripada sesuatu yang begitu peribadi, terselit lara, tersembunyi kecurangan, namun tetap terhimpun harapan dan impian. Tiada kehidupan yang sempurna tetapi ketidaksempurnaan itulah yang melengkapkan dan memberikan jiwa kepada kehidupan!

Nombor Panggilan:155.000/H2
Tempat:Area C
Sinopsis:
“Aku cuaklah nak mula kerja baru esok.”
“Risaunya, nak kena bagi ucapan minggu depan.”
“Kau tak takut ke nak jumpa keluarga tunang kau hujung minggu ni?”
Jantung berdebar-debar, resah, gelisah dan ada kalanya sukar tidur malam ialah reaksi normal minda dan tubuh kita apabila berhadapan dengan ‘ancaman’. Respons ini menjadikan tubuh badan kita lebih bersedia untuk berhadapan dengan situasi yang sukar. Ini tindak balas survival.
Walau bagaimanapun, apabila tidak diuruskan dengan baik, respons normal itu akan berlanjutan; seterusnya mengganggu kesihatan emosi dan mental kita. Kita cenderung untuk overthink, hilang motivasi dan sentiasa merasakan diri tidak cukup bagus.
Melalui CUAK, Dr Hazreen merungkaikan masalah kegelisahan ini secara mendalam; menjelaskan tindak balas otak dan tubuh kita terhadapnya; serta membincangkan cara untuk menguruskannya agar kita bebas daripada situasi yang menyesakkan ini.
