    Content: The untold story of why America is so culturally and politically divided America may be more diverse than ever coast to coast, but the places where we live are becoming increasingly crowded with people who live, think, and vote as we do. This social transformation didn't happed by accident. We've built a country where we can all choose the neighborhood -- and religion and news show -- most compatible with our lifestyle and beliefs. And we are living with the consequences of this way-of-life segregation. Our country has become so polarized, so ideologically inbred, that people don't know and can't understand those who live just a few miles away. The reason for this situation, and the dire implications for our country, is the subject of this groundbreaking work. In 2004, the journalist Bill Bishop, armed with original and startling demographic data, made national news in a series of articles showing how Americans have been sorting themselves over the past three decades into alarmingly homogeneous communities -- not by region or by red state or blue state, but by city and even neighborhood. In The Big Sort, Bishop deepens his analysis in a brilliantly reported book that makes its case from the ground up, starting with stories about how we live today and then drawing on history, economics, and our changing political landscape to create one of the most compelling big-picture accounts of America in recent memory. The Big Sort will draw comparisons to Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone and Richard Florida's The Rise of the Creative Class and will redefine the way Americans think about themselves for decades to come

    Content: "Survive and thrive in a world being taken over by robots and other advanced technology. Artificial intelligence. Machine learning. Algorithms. Blockchains. The Internet of Things. Big data analytics. 5G networks. Self-driving cars. Robotics. 3D printing. In the coming years, these technologies, and others to follow, will have a profound and dramatically disruptive impact on how we work and live. Whether we like it or not, we need to develop a good working relationship with these technologies. We need to know how to "dance" with robots. In Dancing with Robots, futurist, entrepreneur, and innovation coach Bill Bishop explains the 29 rules for success in the new economy. These new rules represent a bold, exciting, unexpected, and radically different road map for future success. Bishop also explains five human superpowers -- embodied pattern recognition, unbridled curiosity, purpose-driven ideation, ethical framing, and metaphoric communication -- which give you a competitive edge as a human being over robots and other advanced technology. To live long and prosper in a world being taken over by automation and AI, reading Dancing with Robots is a must."--
