Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow


Dr.Harrari is clearly envisioned what is a plausible case to worry about if AI and machine learning start to control us and more importantly our consciousness . What would be that world look like where life’s are nothing but a connected network of data . Humans and more specifically Homo sapiens would merely be a muted spectators furlong this gigantic machine learning growth and meets the same fate as the other Animals upon which Homo sapiens came to this world ruling them , ruining them and manipulating them as non-existent entities merely born to serve the humanity . It is this postulate which Mr. Harrari vociferously argues to prove a point that , the very basis on which humanity came to existence would be threatened as we continue to evolve to become a connected world and in his parlance it’s rightly called a religion called “Dataism” . While his arguments open a pandora of imagination , we already see the glimpse on the realm Dataism occupying every part of our life from life sciences , to politics , to capitalism and eventually to our very own inner self called conscious ness . Scary but it’s a definitive possible result when machines will rule the roast and should we then call the 21st century the end of the world of wisdom and start of a new world called Super human dominating humans and using them as a mere tool to promote their own interest . Read it and am sure you will dream to escape the realm of life thinking about aliens invading our planet and aliens would be our very own Internet of All things .

The Little Book of Behavioral Investing by James Montier


Well packaged and well researched book . Icing on the cake is , it’s not lengthy and boring . Very simple experiments on each of the investment bias to prove the point , is worth to contemplate . Being an avid reader on financial matters , I skipped the experimentation part and went right to the theory of biases and I must say it did intrigued me to think on what biases I would have displayed which impacted my investments . The only way we learn to unlearn some of the investment decisions is to be aware of these emotions and acknowledge the same ! Pick it if you like brain teasers else move on but be aware that it’s your real money at stake when and some of these emotions do create havoc on our lifestyles when investments go awry :)
