Why do we have bodies? Where did this weird meat suit come from? And how did we go from ancient guesses about "black bile" to installing pacemakers and printing 3D organs? In this audiobook, JJ takes you on a full-body tour through the history of anatomy, from mummified pharaohs to modern mind uploads. We crack it open, name the parts, track the fluids, x-ray the bones, and watch as the human body goes from sacred vessel to scanned-and-sold biometric data. This isn't a textbook. It's a scalpel with jokes. And it's got everything inside.

The world isn’t going to burn. It already is. The World Is on Fire is a devastating, clear-eyed walkthrough of the climate crisis as it actually exists. Not as a theory, not as a threat, but as a daily reality. JJ doesn’t waste time with doomer panic or soft-focus optimism. Instead, he tells the story straight: how we lit the fuse with coal and oil, how the corporations lied, how the system got stuck, and how the poorest people on Earth are already paying the price.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the modern world — but beneath the headlines about robots, automation, and smart machines lies something much simpler: the algorithm. These sets of rules, calculations, and logical steps are the beating heart of every intelligent system. In The Basics of AI Algorithms, Julian Vexley breaks down this vast and technical subject into ten clear, accessible chapters designed for the curious reader.

And how do we grapple with the imponderables of morality, religion, and consciousness?

Cuando Newton formuló la ley de la gravedad, unificó las reglas que rigen los cielos y la Tierra. Hoy el mayor desafío de la física es encontrar una síntesis de las dos grandes teorías, basadas en principios matemáticos diferentes: la de la relatividad y la cuántica. Combinarlas sería el mayor logro de la ciencia, una profunda fusión de todas las fuerzas de la naturaleza en una hermosa y magnífica ecuación que nos permitiría comprender los misterios más profundos del universo.

Comemos al menos tres veces al día durante toda nuestra vida, pero no sabemos casi nada de lo que ocurre dentro de nosotros cuando ingerimos un alimento. Como consecuencia, a menudo tampoco entendemos el modo en que nuestro cuerpo reacciona frente a lo que hemos comido.
