Menuai Badai
Putu Juli Sastrawan
Menuai Badai adalah kisah tentang seorang yang diseret masa lalu, tentang tubuh sebagai arsip, seragam sebagai simbol kekuasaan, tentang sejarah yang bengkok dan yang tak pernah benar-benar berhasil diluruskan

Buku filsafat yang mengenai kerangka berpikir logis yang dijelaskan dengan bahasa yang sangat sederhana. Buku ini terlihat sangat biasa - pada awalnya. Permasalahan yang dibawakan juga tidak rumit. Selama ini kita mengikuti insting, logika dalam mengambil keputusan, tapi lupa bahwa kita memiliki bias yang kita bawa dari pikiran. Bias-bias ini secara tidak sadar terkadang membuat kita mengambil keputusan tanpa cost - benefit yang jelas atau ngaco. Walaupun ada beberapa variabel dalam hidup yang kita tidak bisa kategorikan, variabel-variabel bebas itu sebetulnya adalah value yang bisa menjadi landasan dalam pengambilan keputusan.

The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity
Carlo M. Cipolla
"A masterly book" --Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan"A classic" --Simon Kuper, Financial Times
In the spirit of On Bullshit and Assholes: A Theory, an economist explores the five laws that confirm our worst fears: stupid people can and do rule the world
Since time immemorial, a powerful dark force has hindered the growth of human welfare and happiness. It is more powerful than the Mafia or the military. It has global catastrophic effects and can be found anywhere from the world's most powerful boardrooms to your local pub. This is the immensely powerful force of human stupidity.
Seeing the shambolic state of human affairs, and sensing the dark force at work behind it, Carlo M. Cipolla, the late, noted professor of economic history at the University of California, Berkeley, created a vitally important economic model that would allow us to detect, know, and neutralize this threat: The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity.
If you've ever found yourself despairing at the ubiquity of stupidity among even the most 'intellectual' of people, then this hilarious, timely, and slightly alarming little book is for you. Arm yourself in the face of baffling political realities, unreasonable colleagues, or the unbridled misery of Christmas day with the in-laws with the first and only economic model for stupidity.
"Cipolla's subtle tongue-in-cheek humor made this book an underground classic in Italy. Today, under current worldwide political trends, it reads more like black humor. Keep in mind: reliable statistical data shows that 98% of the people seriously believe that they are far less stupid than the average." --Carlo Rovelli, author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

Ada juga yang harus membantu sang ayah menjala ikan dan agar tidak kedinginan karena hari masih terlalu pagi, ia malah harus terjun ke laut. Di tempat yang lain, seorang kawan mengira mama-mama bertangan biru pekat di area rumahnya adalah penyihir jahat, padahal itu karena ketekunan mereka menenun berpuluh tahun.
Kenangan-kenangan itu menciptakan rumah untuk pulang sekalipun kau adalah orang asing di tempat itu. Ada kemungkinan kau akan bernyanyi sebuah lagu lama ketika mendaki gunung karena itulah yang bisa membawamu kembali ke masa lalu.

Yang Tak Terkatakan tentang Menuju Dewasa
Okki Sutanto
Hidup tidak memiliki buku panduan. Kita semua dituntut menjadi dewasa tanpa pernah dibekali apa-apa. Yang Tak Terkatakan Tentang Menuju Dewasa merupakan medium Okki Sutanto berbagi dan bercerita tentang banyak hal termasuk ketika ia terapung dalam badai, mengambang terbawa ombak, hilang arah dalam kebingungan, atau bahkan tersesat dalam labirin yang berlapis dan senantiasa berubah.
Cerita-cerita di dalamnya datang dari kumpulan tulisan Okki melewati beragam fase kehidupan mulai dari selepas kuliah hingga hari ini yang kita kenal di media sosialnya. Bukan karena ia si paling tahu dan merasa bisa membuat manual kehidupan untuk orang lain, tapi harapannya buku ini hadir sebagai catatan perjalanan dari seorang penyintas.
Pada tiap kisah dicantumkan tanggal tulisan, dengan tujuan agar pembaca mendapat konteks serta latar waktu ketika tulisan itu dibuat. Beberapa di antaranya masih terbilang baru, tentu, karena hingga hari ini pun ia masih menjalani proses pendewasaan.
Dirajut dalam bentuk refleksi dan esai ringan khas tulisan Okki Sutanto, buku ini bisa jadi teman perjalanan menuju dewasa yang kerap terasa sepi dan tak berujung. Termasuk sebagai pengingat bahwa ada banyak perspektif dalam hidup. Karena pada nyatanya, Weâre on the same voyage, just with different boats. And the least we can do is support one another.

Salah satu buku yang saya habiskan di hampir penghujung tahun 2025, buku dengan bintang 5 pertama saya bulan ini. Salah satu buku dengan coretan, highlight dan bookmark paling banyak yang saya bubuhi sepanjang membaca. Kalau ada yang bertanya, "buku apa yang dapat menjelaskan apa yang terjadi di negeri ini?" aku akan menjawab Reset Indonesia. Sebuah perjalanan, ironi dan kesedihan dituliskan dengan amat apik. Cepat sembuh, negeri-ku.

A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1)
George R.R. Martin
Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister forces are massing beyond the kingdomâs protective Wall. To the south, the kingâs powers are failingâhis most trusted adviser dead under mysterious circumstances and his enemies emerging from the shadows of the throne. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the frozen land they were born to. Now Lord Eddard Stark is reluctantly summoned to serve as the kingâs new Hand, an appointment that threatens to sunder not only his family but the kingdom itself.Sweeping from a harsh land of cold to a summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, A Game of Thrones tells a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; a child is lost in the twilight between life and death; and a determined woman undertakes a treacherous journey to protect all she holds dear. Amid plots and counter-plots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, allies and enemies, the fate of the Starks hangs perilously in the balance, as each side endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

How AI Thinks: How we built it, how it can help us, and how we can control it
Nigel Toon
THE #2 TIMES BESTSELLER'Artificial intelligence is going to have a massive impact on everyoneâs lives... an accessible and sensible read that helps demystify AI' Deborah Meaden, entrepreneur and star of Dragon's Den'Nigel Toon is a visionary leader in the field of artificial intelligence... a must-read' Marc Tremblay, Distinguished Engineer, MicrosoftThose who understand how AI thinks are about to win big.We are used to thinking of computers as being a step up from calculators - very good at storing information, and maybe even at playing a logical game like chess. But up to now they haven't been able to think in ways that are intuitive, or respond to questions as a human might. All that has changed, dramatically, in the past few years.Our search engines are becoming answer engines. Artificial intelligence is already revolutionising sectors from education to healthcare to the creative arts. But how does an AI understand sentiment or context? How does it play and win games that have an almost infinite number of moves? And how can we work with AI to produce insights and innovations that are beyond human capacity, from writing code in an instant to unfolding the elaborate 3D puzzles of proteins?We stand at the brink of a historic change that will disrupt society and at the same time create enormous opportunities for those who understand how AI thinks. Nigel Toon shows how we train AI to train itself, so that it can paint images that have never existed before or converse in any language. In doing so he reveals the strange and fascinating ways that humans think, too, as we learn how to live in a world shared by machine intelligences of our own creation.

Feeding the Machine: The Hidden Human Labor Powering A.I.
James Muldoon
For readers of Naomi Klein and Nicole Perlroth, a myth-dissolving exposĂ© of what âartificial intelligenceâ really means, and a resounding argument for an equitable future of A.I. Silicon Valley has sold us the illusion that artificial intelligence is a frictionless technology that will bring wealth and prosperity to humanity. But hidden beneath this smooth surface lies the grim reality of a precarious global workforce of millions laboring under often appalling conditions to make A.I. possible. This book presents an urgent, riveting investigation of the intricate network that maintains this exploitative system, revealing the untold truth of A.I.Based on hundreds of interviews and thousands of hours of fieldwork over more than a decade, Feeding the Machine describes the lives of the workers deliberately concealed from view, and the power structures that determine their future. It gives voice to the people whom A.I. exploits, from accomplished writers and artists to the armies of data annotators, content moderators and warehouse workers, revealing how their dangerous, low-paid labor is connected to longer histories of gendered, racialized, and colonial exploitation.A.I. is an extraction machine that feeds off humanity's collective effort and intelligence, churning through ever-larger datasets to power its algorithms. This book is a call to arms that details what we need to do to fight for a more just digital future.

Atlas of AI: Power, Politics, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence
Kate Crawford
The hidden costs of artificial intelligence, from natural resources and labor to privacy, equality, and freedomâEloquent, clear and profoundâthis volume is a classic for our times. It draws our attention away from the bright shiny objects of the new colonialism through elucidating the social, material and political dimensions of Artificial Intelligence.ââGeoffrey C. Bowker, University of California, Irvine What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? In this book Kate Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased racial, gender, and economic inequality. Drawing on more than a decade of research, awardâwinning science, and technology, Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the energy and minerals needed to build and sustain its infrastructure, to the exploited workers behind âautomatedâ services, to the data AI collects from us.  Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a political and a material perspective on what it takes to make artificial intelligence and where it goes wrong. While technical systems present a veneer of objectivity, they are always systems of power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.
