Magic Formulas Living Algorithmically Ever wonder how your search engine can rank things by popularity and relevance or why internet sites suggest enticing purchases? Simple mathematical rules or algorithms help software determine what’s seen on our computer, tablet or smartphone. As much of our lives is spent online, we must ask ourselves important questions for the most beneficial and safest future world of algorithms. First, how do algorithms influence how we see and interact with the world? In The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World, Pedro Domingos shows readers the machine-learning mystery and discusses the future universal “Master Algorithm” that will take discovery automation to the next level. Luke Dormehl’s The Formula: How Algorithms Solve all our Problems ... and Create More examines how numbers achieve feats like predicting a box-office hit and our trust in algorithms by examining experts leading us forward in this age of numbers that solve but also create problems. How can we apply algorithmic insight to our daily lives? We can find answers in books like Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths’s Algorithms To Live By: The Computer Science of Human Decisions that details how computers deal with problems involving time and space limitations with solutions that can teach us much. It also provides examples of computers offering life strategies for humans with rules. Algorithms might seem like magic but don’t they need oversight? In Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy, Cathy O’Neil discusses how many decisions such as the insurance we pay are made, not by humans, but by mathematical models. Despite one rule applying to everyone, today’s unregulated models promote discrimination rather than equality by, for instance, deeming less risky individuals better choices. But if a “riskier” poor student is denied financial support for education, when will poverty end? Thus more modeller responsibility and better “weapons of math destruction” regulation are needed! With today’s rising mathematical dependence, we must be more aware of the algorithms governing our lives and also supervise how they affect us. You can discover all this and more in these great reads!

all s/he needs is love

Everywhere you turn, you see something, hear something, or sense something that resembles or signifies love. Perhaps it’s because it’s the month of love, the month people all over the world celebrate Valentine’s. If you’ve got special feelings for someone but have kept them hidden all this time, then it’s the time to express them. Or if you feel like you are falling head over heels for someone it’s completely alright. It’s excusable, allowable, and even encouraged during this month of love. And at Asia Books, we’re extremely intent on making your sweet Valentine’s Day this year much more special. We’ve got brand new titles that will help define the meaning of love. Here we present to you two titles that not only guide you to the true essence of this greatest of emotions but also make reading so enjoyable. As the saying goes, we’re going to let the ladies go first with a look at wildly popular author Sophie Kinsella’s My Not So Perfect Life. The title just about sums it all up in this day and age in which social media rules. New York bestseller Kinsella’s latest female protagonist Katie Brenner lives a life that is far from what she would like it to be. She’d give anything to trade her days full of tense London office politics and quirky flatmates for the likes of what her brilliant and creative boss Demeter Farlowe has: a superb life of the trendiest clothes, a picture-perfect family and an upscale residence. Led by these longings of hers, Katie escapes her dismal existence, at least in the eyes of her father, in not-so-true Instagram posts. And just when things, including the love department, start looking up for Katie, Demeter fires her. Though thoroughly devastated, Katie promises to look on the bright side and begins to help her family set up 10


a vacation business in the remote folds of Somerset. Then one day the unexpected and unwanted happens: Demeter walks through the doors to check in as a guest. As a result, relationships are tested and secrets are revealed and Katie must ask herself what she truly values in life. A master of storytelling that readers find so close to home, Sophie Kinsella charms us once again with a witty, wise, warm and completely new story so befitting the times when what we think is perfect really is not. From love being born for her we turn to love leaving him, among other things, in our second title The Best of Adam Sharp penned by author Graeme Simsion. Adam Sharp is an almost-50-year-old introvert who leads a seemingly content life in Norwich where he has a career as a respectable IT consultant and is also a musical expert at the local pub-quiz. A former pianist, Adam sees his life not as a rock n’ roll number one hit or an easy listening favorite, but a tune where he just can’t seem to get the key right. Something is missing and what it is is what might have been so many years ago had he not let Angelina Brown slip through his fingers. Angelina was the smart and sexy actress, who sang as he played the piano in a bar in Melbourne. And it was Angelina who taught him what love was. Theirs was a very passionate affair and she had given him the opportunity to make it something more. If only he hadn’t let her walk away, how different might his life be now? Then, out of the blue and after all these years, Angelina contacts Adam. But for Adam singing about second chances and taking them are two completely different things. Will he have the courage to see it through? Find out as you reminisce with Adam about his happy times and sad ones, explore getting old yet feeling young through his eyes and experience alongside him what it is to stay together or drift apart. And for this musician, who believes that you can define any moment in life as a song, what song will his heart be singing in the end? What song will be the final track in the soundtrack that is his life? Find out in The Best of Adam Sharp.
