   * The End of the World is just the Beginning, by Peter Zeihan

   How the globalisation is coming to an end, how the US Navy made Chinese power possible, how the 21st Century will be American after all, and many other counter-intuitive things. A must read IMO.

   * Atlas of AI, by Kate Crawford

   Politics of AI: power, exploitation, colonialism, global surveillance and control... Fascinating. Another must read.

   This article is about Kate Crawford‘s new book Atlas of AI. So far, an excellent read that has shifted my viewpoint a bit. She writes about how AI is physically embodied in the world.
