Resumen del Editor
Ray Kurzweil, legendary inventor and author of New York Times best sellers The Singularity Is Near and How to Create a Mind, has created inventions and ideas that have changed human civilization. PBS called him "One of the revolutionaries who made America", and Inc. magazine named him "Edison's rightful heir".
Now, Kurzweil has created a novel and an unforgettable character - Danielle - to help convey some of his most important ideas. Danielle: Chronicles of a Superheroine tells the story of a precocious young girl who uses her intelligence and accelerating technology to solve humanity's grandest challenges. Now, if only we can find more courageous visionaries like Danielle.
Written as an alternative history, Danielle's journey as a driven young girl brings her face-to-face with many important figures from recent history and our modern world. Told through the eyes of Danielle's equally remarkable sister, Claire, a girl adopted from Haiti after surviving the earthquake, this story shows all listeners a hopeful vision of humanity's future - and how to achieve it.

Historia
Ori Brafman and management consultant Judah Pollack dramatically demonstrate how even the best and most efficient organizations - from Fortune 500 companies to today's US Army - can become more innovative by allowing a little unstructured space and "contained chaos" into their planning and decision-making. Through their consulting work, they realized that while structure and hierarchy are essential both in large corporations and small groups, too much of either can stifle creativity.

Media flows covertly into the country, and fault lines are appearing in the government's sealed informational borders. Drawing on deeply personal interviews with North Korean defectors from all walks of life, ranging from propaganda artists to diplomats, Jieun Baek tells the story of North Korea's information underground.

Beyond memoir, this guidebook offers practical advice on everything from "How to Be the Black Friend" to "How to Be the (Next) Black President" to "How to Celebrate Black History Month". This is a humorous, intelligent, and audacious guide that challenges and satirizes the so-called experts, purists, and racists who purport to speak for all Black people. With honest storytelling and biting wit, Baratunde plots a path not just to blackness, but one open to anyone interested in simply "how to be".

The COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly frequent climate disasters, a new war—events we might have called “unimaginable” or “unthinkable” in the past are now reality. Today it feels more challenging than ever to feel unafraid, hopeful, and equipped to face the future with optimism. How do we map out our lives when it seems impossible to predict what the world will be like next week, let alone next year or next decade? What we need now are strategies to help us recover our confidence and creativity in facing uncertain futures.

If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result, America has been insane since the Reagan era. But the election of Donald Trump is certainly not like what America has done before. The media delights in diagnosing President Trump as “mad” - but what if he’s actually the cure for a country who’s been going mad for years?

Part memoir, part manifesto, Radical is this fearless advocate's incisive, intensely personal call-to-arms. Rhee combines the story of her own extraordinary experience with dozens of compelling examples from schools she's worked in and studied-from students from unspeakable home lives who have thrived in the classroom to teachers whose radical methods have produced unprecedented leaps in achievement. Radical chronicles Rhee's awakening to the potential of every child, her rage at the special interests blocking badly-needed change, and her recognition that it will take a grassroots movement to create outstanding public schools.

A distinguished businesswoman and writer, she examines the phenomenon and traces its imprint in our private and working lives, and within governments and organizations, and asks: What makes us prefer ignorance? What are we so afraid of? Why do some people see more than others? And how can we change?

Life is a series of negotiations, whether or not you think of yourself as a negotiator. From seemingly insignificant daily decisions to major life choices, you negotiate every time you aim to persuade, argue over a decision, or resolve a conflict. But as negotiations and leadership expert Erica Ariel Fox reveals, the most important negotiations - the ones that determine the impact of our actions and the quality of our lives - are those we have with ourselves.

Uri Gneezy and John List are like the anthropologists who spend months in the field studying the people in their native habitats. But in their case they embed themselves in our messy world to try and solve big, difficult problems, such as the gap between rich and poor students and the violence plaguing inner city schools; the real reasons people discriminate; whether women are really less competitive than men; and how to correctly price products and services. Their field experiments show how economic incentives can change outcomes.

Change can do you good, Kurzweil fans. I LOVED IT!
Ok, I have known Kurzweil"s books for a long time, and I have to admit when I saw that this book was YA (Young Adult) I thought "Kurzweil must be crazy." Well, I discovered that he's not crazy, he's having great fun in this book showing kids of all ages the joy of what a world could be like if we had a few more Danielles with amazing superhero minds in it. Truth is, we have lots of Danielle in this world now. Amazing young people who are changing the talk on climate change, finding new medical breakthroughs, even helping find black holes. Look, my fellow Kurzweil fans, this is a superhero book! If you want another heady Kurzweil book, I hear that "The Singularity Is Nearer" comes out next year. If you want a bit of fun, an alternate universe, if you want to see a lighter side of the mind of Mr. Kurzweil, then get this book, it's great.
I LOVED IT!!!!!

If you like Kurzweil, skip this one
The second half was alright as it presented some cool resources, but the first half which included the story was super cringe.

Not about AI...
It is not abou AÍ... is about great humanitarian causes, and uses the trend on AI to call attention

Somewhat boring and tedious - lacking in creativity - AI would have written a better story
Kurzweil is very good at communicating facts and this story does a fairly good job of pointing out the uses for certain technologies and ideologies in a modern society. However, it fails at creative storytelling, fairly dramatically. Kurzweil fails to create emotional connections for the reader with the characters and fails to build a captivating, dramatic narrative. While I wholeheartedly agree with most or even all of the ideas that Kurzweil presents within this story, nonetheless, I find it tedious and preachy. Despite that he is preaching to the choir here, the failure to approach concepts from a dramatically interesting perspective results in a story and storytelling that fall fairly flat, the narrator’s presentation of the ideas are similarly flat.
Kurzweil could stand to learn a lot from the storytelling about optimal uses of technology to further sociological, political, cultural, or ideological goals from storytellers like Neal Stephenson, or William Gibson. It saddens me to leave a review like this for what this book was clearly, a labor of love… but I struggled mightily to even be able to finish it for the tedium. I think with some assistance, time, and effort - RK is capable of producing a far more captivating book. He perhaps should focus more on the ability to create interesting dialog such as creators like Tarantino or Kevin Smith, or perhaps styling a book with some intelligent intrigue like the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Danielle would have served better as subplot for a middling video game telling an alternative version of history where the player was acting out the 1st person perspective of their character - Danielle.
