A Unified Theory of Influence—From Ancient Persuaders to AI Futures Influence is everywhere: in the parent teaching a child, the advertiser crafting a message, the algorithm curating a feed, the state deploying propaganda. Yet we lack a comprehensive framework for understanding influence across these domains. This book provides one. Influencers and the Influenced integrates memetic theory—the study of cultural replicators—with persuasion psychology and network science to explain how ideas, beliefs, and behaviors spread through populations. The analysis spans from humanity’s earliest influencers (parents, priests, teachers) through the contemporary landscape of social media creators to speculative futures involving artificial intelligence and post-human cognition.

A beginner-friendly introduction to TypeScript for no-code and AI-assisted developers. Learn the fundamentals properly and build confidence beyond copy-paste code.

Aprende a crear apps nativas para Android con Jetpack Compose y Kotlin. Esta guía práctica te lleva desde cero hasta construir una aplicación completa con navegación y animaciones.

Modern tools are powerful.Our thinking is not always prepared for them.Automation reduces effort, but often replaces judgment.Speed creates relief, but not clarity.Systems solve tasks while quietly shaping decisions we never examine.Tools Beyond Limits is not a guide to using technology better.It is a guide to understanding where tools should stop—and where responsibility must remain human.This book explores why many digital products feel impressive yet leave users confused, dependent, or unsure. It examines AI, software, learning platforms, and automation through one lens: how tools influence thinking before outcomes appear.If you use modern tools daily and sense that something important is being lost beneath efficiency, this book is written for you.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers with Java and Spring Boot allow you to standardize how your applications connect to AI assistants and LLMs by exposing internal data and functions as structured, tool-based endpoints. By leveraging the Spring AI framework, you can easily implement MCP protocols to securely bridge your business logic with intelligent agents. This approach simplifies integration, enabling your services to be dynamically discoverable and actionable within an AI-driven ecosystem.

Книга представляет собой масштабное размышление о судьбе Европы как культурного, духовного и исторического проекта. Автор рассматривает европейскую цивилизацию сквозь призму дуализма — противостояния добра и зла, духа и материи, индивидуального и коллективного, Востока и Запада. Этот внутренний разлом, по мнению Рёснес, стал ключевой причиной утраты целостной идентичности и духовного истощения современного общества.
