"Against Utopia: Technology Won't Save Us" is a thought-provoking book that delves into the potential pitfalls and limitations of various technological advancements that are often hailed as solutions to humanity's problems. Authored by a renowned futurist and philosopher, this book challenges the prevailing narrative of a utopian future driven by metaverses, driverless cars, AI, BTC, NFTs, cryptocurrencies, biogenetics, and the Singularity. Through a series of deep reflections, the author argues that while these technologies hold immense promise, they are not infallible or guaranteed to bring about a perfect world. Instead, they are subject to human biases, ethical dilemmas, and unintended c...

Optimized interaction of the brain with environment requires the four-dimensional representation of space-time in the neuronal circuits. Information processing is an important part of this interaction, which is critically dependent on time-dimension. Information processing has played an important role in the evolution of mammals, and has reached a level of critical importance in the lives of primates, particularly the humans. The entanglement of time-dimension with information processing in the brain is not clearly understood at present. Time-dimension in physical world – the environment of an organism – can be represented by the interval of a pendulum swing (the cover page depicts tempo...
The study of how the brain processes temporal information is becoming one of the most important topics in systems, cellular, computational, and cognitive neuroscience, as well as in the physiological bases of music and language. During the last and current decade, interval timing has been intensively studied in humans and animals using increasingly sophisticated methodological approaches. The present book will bring together the latest information gathered from this exciting area of research, putting special emphasis on the neural underpinnings of time processing in behaving human and non-human primates. Thus, Neurobiology of Interval Timing will integrate for the first time the current know...
Do you know how many shoes you have? How often do you wear those sneakers that you have 'just in case'? Is it difficult for you to get rid of things that you will not use anymore? Do you often worry about situations that finally do not occur? Do you own things or do they own you? Between theory and practice, the book reviews the concept of minimalism both in its materialistic and mental aspects. "Minimalism: Living Better With Less" addresses the paradigm of being happier with fewer possessions. The theory aside, the book explores different tricks and techniques to test minimalism in a practical and pragmatic way in the world we live in. A powerful mix between its own content and a summary of the teachings of the most relevant authors in minimalism such as Marie Kondo, Leo Babauta, Joshua Becker and others like it.
