Dogs, Boys and Other Things I’ve Cried About
From the social media superstar behind @SimonSits, Isabel Klee – known for her heartwarming tales of dog rescue – comes an utterly winning memoir about a twentysomething woman’s search for true love in New York City and the dogs who helped her find it.
Isabel Klee had always wanted to live in New York City. At age 20, she got her chance, ditching her college upstate for Marymount Manhattan and moved into a tiny basement apartment on the Upper East Side. Dog-obsessed since childhood, her first postgrad job was managing content for the incredibly popular account The Dogist, and something clicked into place: a career focused on helping dogs was the new dream.
Isabel quickly found a passion for using her own growing platform to help rescue pups find their forever homes. At the same time, she was caught up in a whirlwind of friendships, parties, fickle boyfriends and grand romances, which she recounts in honest, tender and sometimes devastating chapters about the search for love and belonging.
Isabel’s first true love, though, was Simon, a fluffy puppy who’d been saved from the meat trade. As the highs and lows of this turbulent decade hit Isabel, it was Simon who kept her grounded. Together, Isabel and Simon created an online community of dog-lovers, fellow foster advocates and girls just trying to get through the trenches of their twenties.
In Dogs, Boys and Other Things I’ve Cried About, Isabel weaves together the stories of her foster dogs – and the challenges she helped them overcome – with tales of bad dates, hard decisions and great loves in New York City, all leading to a happy ending not only for the rescue pups, but for Isabel herself.

Attensity!: A Manifesto of the Attention Liberation Movement
‘Pay attention: If you are human, you must read this book’ Jaron Lanier
We all feel it: something is seriously wrong. Our attention―that essential ability to give our minds and senses to the world―is being trapped, gutted, and sold out from under us by an industry of immense technological and financial power. The heedless exploitation of this vital capacity by a handful of tech companies is harming us all, reducing our very selfhood to that which can be quantified, bought, and sold―and shaking the foundations of our democracy.
To push back against this ‘human fracking,”’we need more than individual willpower or isolated efforts. We need a movement of collective resistance. Such a movement is beginning to bloom, and in this radical, first-of-its-kind guide, The Friends of Attention show us how to join the fight. We meet welders, nurses, poets, and surfers, all of whom are engaged in attentional practices. We learn to seek out sanctuaries―theatres and museums, houses of worship, dance parties―where together we can take refuge from the frackers. Drawing on a rich legacy of critical intellectuals and the creative wisdom of diverse traditions, Attensity! takes our apocalyptic present, turns it on its head, and reveals new vistas of human flourishing.

We Are As Gods: A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance
In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: ‘We are as gods – and we might as well get good at it.’ Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.
We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles – omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection – are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn’t whether humanity can play god. It’s whether we can do it wisely.
In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species’ next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity’s ascent from scarcity to superabundance – and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.
Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.
Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won’t be built by those who fear what’s coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.
Abundance is here. Are you ready?

The Future of Fraud (The FUTURES Series)
Fraud is BIG business – in this latest edition to the FUTURES series, find out the new (and old) ways fraudsters are targeting us, what future technological threats await, and how we can protect ourselves.
Humans have been ripping each other off since they first discovered the concept of lying but in 300 BC, the first ever official record of a fraud case was made. A merchant in Greece took out an insurance policy, borrowed money and planned to sink his boat. Unfortunately for him, things did not go according to plan. Since then, fraud has become more complex and harder to detect, as technology has evolved. So how can we protect ourselves now and in the future, and what new dangers do we need to be looking out for?
Deeply researched and littered with expert testimony, The Future of Fraud will explore interesting fraud cases past and present, and expose how the technology we depend upon today is also perfectly poised to exploit us: from social media, the dark web and gaming, to cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. And as well as parting us from our money, fraud is eroding the trust between humans and the state, and between each other.
The only way to tackle the fraud epidemic, argues Holmes, is head on, via education, language, technology and regulation. We need everyone to understand the dangers and have protections in place to stop the bad guys. Are we fighting a losing battle, or can we make the future a safer place for everyone?

How to Talk to AI: (And How Not To)
*Featured in BBC’s Books to Read in 2026*
Knowing how to speak to AI – and how not to – is a skill that everyone now needs. This book will help the reader understand how to make the most of these incredible new technologies, without succumbing to new powers of manipulation and control.
Hundreds of millions of people now talk to AI like ChatGPT every day. They organise their finances and holidays, ask advice, seek therapy and find love – via machines. Almost overnight, chatbots are transforming society, politics and business.
This is one of the biggest and fastest technological changes in history – but most people still don’t really understand how AI works, how to make the most of it – or what the dangers are. As some people use it to turbo-charge their productivity at work, others are falling into dangerous conspiracies, delusions and psychosis.
In How to Talk to AI, tech commentator Jamie Bartlett takes the reader inside the machine: showing how we can stay in control of our powerful new companions, even as they are changing the way we live, feel, and think.

A HILARIOUS WORLD BOOK DAY COMEDY FOR TEEN READERS FROM THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR OF STEADY FOR THIS AND KING OF NOTHING!Noranto knows who he is. Or at least, he thinks he does.
Footballer. Hustler. One of the boys. He’s got the playground game on lock and big plans for his mum’s surprise birthday party this weekend. But poetry? That’s just something he does quietly – in his head, on the bus, between goals.
Until his teacher spots his talent and encourages him to enter a creative writing competition. Noranto laughs it off. No chance: the deadline’s in three days and he’s already got way too much going on. His mates agree and tell him to stick to what he knows. Poetry doesn’t win matches.
But the rhymes won’t stop coming. And a little voice inside him keeps asking: What if this is his shot? What if he could do it all?
As the weekend unfolds and obstacles are thrown in his way, Noranto finds himself stuck between what’s expected of him and who he really wants to be. Can he find the words in time – and the courage to share them – against all the odds?

Eyes, Knees, Boundaries, Please!: My First Book About Private Parts and Consent
Teach kids 3 to 5 about body boundaries, private parts, and consent with a positive and empowering picture book from pediatrician and bestselling author Dr. Krupa Bhojani Playforth!
Knowing how to talk about their bodies and establish safe boundaries with others is critical to kids’ health and safety―but body safety can be a tough topic to tackle.
This friendly, illustrated picture book from board-certified pediatrician Dr. Krupa Bhojani Playforth makes it simple, with age-appropriate but accurate text and illustrations that describe the correct names for private parts, what body boundaries are, and how kids can advocate for themselves―because their body should belong to them and only them.
An essential topic for this age range―Knowing the right terms for body parts and appropriate body boundaries can improve children’s body image, self-confidence, and make them less likely to be a target of abuse. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends starting this conversation as early as possible.
Informative but lighthearted―Introduce your child to body safety in a fun, engaging way that is never scary or too serious, but directly explains everything kids should know with a book that they’ll want to read!
Make body conversations easier―Giving kids the language, knowledge, and opportunity to ask questions about bodies and consent encourages them to stand up for themselves, and to feel comfortable talking to trusted grownups.
Get the complete resource parents have been asking for to help young kids talk about their bodies confidently and correctly as they build healthy body awareness!
