New at KPC Library: The Myth of Good AI by Arshin Adib‑Moghaddam. This clear-eyed manifesto questions the “feel‑good” story around artificial intelligence. Who does it serve, who does it harm, and how does power hide in the code?

The urgency is underscored by today's headlines: this summer, we watched OpenAI’s test agents breach parts of Hugging Face’s infrastructure, prompting congressional scrutiny and renewed calls for guardrails; and recent high-profile safety resignations across Frontier Labs have intensified concerns about whether commercial speed is outpacing responsible oversight. This is a timely, accessible read for anyone trying to separate hype from reality. Stop by the Library and join the conversation!

The Ethics of Remote Warfare by author Lily Hamourtziadou has just been added to the collection at KPC Library. It's a stark, clear-eyed look at drone warfare and lethal autonomy, and challenges the comforting myth that new weapons automatically mean cleaner wars.

Instead, the book traces how distance reshapes judgment, expands legal gray zones, and leaves civilian harm insufficiently counted (and insufficiently mourned).

In a moment when remote strikes are routine headlines, this book offers necessary moral clarity and demands accountability that matches our technology. With case studies from the War on Terror and the war in Ukraine, the author examines “precision” strikes and the emerging autonomous weapons that will soon join battlefields. Place a hold or stop by.

Who built the everything store? Spoiler: not just entrepreneurs.

Our NEW BOOK, Attention, Shoppers! by Kathleen Thelen, shows how policy turned scale into destiny...and more than a few small shops and malls into distant memories. Learn how rules, courts, and clout stacked the aisles in favor of big retail, all in a quick title that is at turns smart, sharp, and sometimes a little infuriating!

Stop in at KPC Library for the history and check it out for the plot twist: just as you've probably always suspected, markets are made, not found!
