In her novel 'Hum', Helen Phillips portrays a near-future where AI displaces human jobs, economic struggle is rampant, and facial recognition technology is pervasive, drawing stark parallels to current societal issues.
Sara Imari Walker's book 'Life as No One Knows It' delves into the origins of life, exploring assembly theory that argues life is the universe's sole means of generating complexity, sparking debates and offering compelling insights even for non-scientists.
Walker's work challenges conventional thinking, requiring mental engagement and potentially leading to stimulating discussions, earning praise for its ingenuity but warning it may not be for all audiences.
The new releases in fiction and nonfiction highlight pressing contemporary concerns such as job displacement by robots, climate change's impact, and the use of surveillance technologies.
