For many, AI technology inspires hope for the future-the promise of shared human flourishing and collective liberation from drudgery that defines the "good life," but always seems to elude our species. Yet today's AI technology is forged from human-generated data into immensely powerful but flawed mirrors that endlessly reflect the same errors, biases and failures of wisdom we are striving to escape. To open new futures for ourselves with these tools is as misguided as gazing into a mirror while trying to climb an uncharted mountain. At this crucial juncture for humanity and our planet, we need something new from AI, and more importantly, from ourselves. We need to find new hope-not to surrender our greatest moral and intellectual ambitions to machines that have none, but to renew those ambitions, collectively, for ourselves. Shannon Vallor makes a wide-ranging, prophetic, and philosophical case for what AI could be, and what we can be with it. She calls us to reclaim our human potential for moral and intellectual growth, rather than losing sight of our shared humanity as we gaze dully into our AI mirrors.

Eat More Plants. A Chef's Journal is a collection of Daniel Humm's drawings and handwritten thoughts charting the re-imagination of his acclaimed three-Michelin-Star restaurant Eleven Madison Park as wholly plant-based in 2021. Shaped by the seasonality underlying Humm's cooking, the book is structured into a section each for spring, summer, fall and winter. His drawings are spontaneous and painterly, celebrating the bounty of predominantly local fruits and vegetables that inspires his creations-from familiar characters such as the carrot and cherry to the more exotic elderflower and matsutake mushroom. On the back of the drawings Humm has written notes on the ideas, beliefs and uncertainties behind his decision to re-invent (and risk) the 25-year story of Eleven Madison Park: "Our cooking should not conform to society, it should be a resolution / Most days we see endless possibility, some days fear clouds our vision / This isn't just an artistic experiment, it's our livelihood." The result is a revealing visual diary of a chef dedicated to pro-planet values as the basis of fine dining, and the liberating realization that following traditions had been his greatest limitation.
