We Have Never Been Human
We Have Never Been Human boldly reimagines what it means to be human, challenging the traditional notions that bind our identity to biology and culture. From ancient mythologies to modern technologies, this book reveals a dynamic, ever-evolving human identity shaped by external forces and technological advancements.Blending insights from philosophy, technology studies, anthropology, and cultural critique, We Have Never Been Human offers an interdisciplinary exploration of our constructed identities and what they portend for the future of society. It raises essential questions: How has technology reshaped our self-perception? Are humans fixed beings, or are we endlessly evolving? What ethical, social, and political challenges arise as we integrate with intelligent machines?This book is a compelling read for those intrigued by the intersection of humanity and technology, offering profound insights into the essence of what it means to be human--or perhaps, what it means to evolve beyond the human.

Logic and Its Applications
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th Indian Conference on Logic and Its Applications, ICLA 2025, held in Kolkata, India, during February 3-5, 2025. Four out the five invited talks are included in this book. Out of the 26 submissions, the program committee carefully selected 14 papers to be included in the proceedings. The topics included are Mathematics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Linguistics and Cognitive Science. A special feature of ICLA is the inclusion of studies in systems of logic in the Indian tradition, as well as historical research on logic.
The Computers That Made the World
This book tells the story of the birth of the computing industry via the origins of ten influential computers built between 1939 and 1950Starting with a short, sharp history of how we got to where we were on the eve of the second world war, this book illuminates humanity's desire for calculation aids throughout history, and how that led to the ready reckoner, Napier's bones, Pascal's calculator, the difference engine, the analytical engine, the comptometer and Herman Hollerieth's electronic tabulating machine.This book is a world tour through the modern history of computing, and it begins in 1939 with the first electronic digital computer, the Atanasoff-Berry computer (ABC). From there, the book moves on to the World War II era with ENIAC, the first general-purpose digital computer. The story of computing in World War II takes us through Germany, UK, and the US, and right after that, the book explores the rapid growth of computing power in the post-war years.The years of "big iron" in the US and UK takes you to the middle of the 1950s. In The Computers that Made the World, you'll learn about the computers (and more) that shaped the world we live in, and also about what happened behind the scenes.
