Beth vuelve a la ciudad universitaria tras más de un año fuera. Esta vez sabe quién es y está dispuesta a crearse su propio destino a medida día y a día y a dejar que las mariposas desaten su efecto si es así como tiene que ser. Ben sabe que una vez se metió de lleno en la boca del lobo y ni siquiera le preocupa que no exista la salida, porque tiene claras sus prioridades: no hay nada que pueda interponerse entre él, el teatro y las personas a las que quiere. Y Chris… Chris hace tiempo que perdió la esperanza de que un «para siempre» no sea tan solo un imposible más.

Every generation, a journalist has looked deep into the heart of the nuclear military establishment: the technologies, the safeguards, the plans, and the risks. These investigations are vital to how we understand the world we really live in—where one nuclear missile will beget one in return, and where the choreography of the world’s end requires massive decisions made on seconds’ notice with information that is only as good as the intelligence we have. Pulitzer Prize finalist Annie Jacobsen’s Nuclear War: A Scenario explores this ticking-clock scenario, based on dozens of exclusive new interviews with military and civilian experts who have built the weapons, have been privy to the response plans, and have been responsible for those decisions should they have needed to be made. Nuclear War: A Scenario examines the handful of minutes after a nuclear missile launch. It is essential reading, and unlike any other book in its depth and urgency.

Este cuento infantil relata las aventuras de Odette, una niña curiosa que junto a sus amigas las, mariquitas de papel viven muchas aventuras, entre lo real y lo mágico. Un cuento divertido que rescata un juego de épocas pasadas, donde las niñas pasaban las tardes jugando con muñecas de papel (mariquitas) vistiéndolas y recortándolas.

In the bestselling The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely and riveting new book, Silver investigates “the River,” the community of like-minded people whose mastery of risk allows them to shape—and dominate—so much of modern life. These professional risk-takers—poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true believers and blue-chip art collectors—can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the twenty-first century. By immersing himself in the worlds of Doyle Brunson, Peter Thiel, Sam Bankman-Fried, Sam Altman, and many others, Silver offers insight into a range of issues that affect us all, from the frontiers of finance to the future of AI. Most of us don’t have traits commonly found in the River: high tolerance for risk, appreciation of uncertainty, affinity for numbers—paired with an instinctive distrust of conventional wisdom and a competitive drive so intense it can border on irrational. For those in the River, complexity is baked in, and the work is how to navigate it. People in the River have increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society, and understanding their mindset—and the flaws in their thinking— is key to understanding what drives technology and the global economy today. Taking us behind the scenes from casinos to venture capital firms, and from the FTX inner sanctum to meetings of the effective altruism movement, On the Edge is a deeply reported, all-access journey into a hidden world of power bro­kers and risk-takers.
