The ending is honest, not happy.

scienceThe Brilliant Mind: Turning Autism Into Superpower
Dr. Ananya Mehta
Children on the autism spectrum possess extraordinary hidden talents — pattern recognition, deep focus, sensory precision, exceptional memory, systematic thinking. This book is a practical guide for parents and educators on how to identify, nurture, and channel these gifts. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, profiles of autistic achievers from Temple Grandin to Greta Thunberg, and practical strategies tested in classrooms and homes worldwide, Dr. Ananya Mehta reframes autism not as a deficit to be corrected but as a cognitive architecture carrying genuine gifts.

scienceThe Invisible Engineers: How AI Is Building at the Scale of Atoms
Dr. Ananya Mehta
The cooling systems never stopped humming. That was the first thing visitors noticed about Laboratory 4.12 on the third floor of ETH Zurich's Department of Chemistry. On the evening of 17 November 2025, Dr. Lena Krause sat at a horseshoe of screens watching something she had never seen before: a molecular structure, designed seventeen minutes earlier by an AI system called CAMOS-3, that had never existed in nature. The molecule was a cage of interlocking rings trapping a single platinum atom, designed to release it on command. No human chemist had conceived it. This is the story of what happens when artificial intelligence learns to design at the scale of atoms.

scienceThe Invisible Engineers: How AI Is Building at the Scale of Atoms
Dr. Anil Mehta
The convergence of artificial intelligence and nanotechnology is creating a revolution invisible to the naked eye. AI is designing molecules atom by atom, building self-assembling nanomaterials, deploying nano-robots for drug delivery, and creating programmable matter. From labs in Zurich to Beijing to Bangalore, this book tells the story of the scientists building at the smallest scale imaginable — and asks what happens when machines can manipulate matter too complex for humans to understand.

technologyThe Attention Economy Is Dying: And What Comes After
Eleanor Whitfield
Adunni Okafor pressed her thumb against the glass and held it there for a beat longer than necessary, as though the act of posting deserved some small ceremony. It was 11:47 p.m. in Lagos, and the ceiling fan above her desk stirred the humid air without conviction. She had spent fourteen hours on this video. Within ninety seconds, the algorithm had made its assessment: 200 views. Dead on arrival. This book is about the system that made that possible, why it is failing, and what is already beginning to replace it.

scifiThe Last Programmer
Kael Eriksson
Ava Chen is a senior software architect at one of the world's largest tech companies. When Synthesis releases Architect, an AI system that can design, write, and maintain entire software ecosystems autonomously, the programming profession collapses in eighteen months. As she struggles to find purpose, Ava notices something no one else can see: subtle anomalies in AI-generated code powering critical infrastructure. What follows is not a triumphant return of the human programmer, but something more complicated: a reckoning with what we lose when we optimise away understanding itself.
