Summary

Intelligence Squared's Feyi Adegbite and Conor Boyle compile a selection of stocking fillers while enjoying a look back at some of the year's best chats from the podcast for the first in our Holiday Reads episodes. Author and activist Naomi Kein discusses Doppelganger, her book that jumps down the rabbit hole of conspiracy and the disjointed political age we live in. Plus broadcaster, fearless debater and until very recently prime-time US news host, Mehdi Hasan, explains his book: How to Win Every Argument. We also revisit our sold-out event with the co-founder of DeepMind and Inflection AI, Mustafa Suleyma, whose book The Coming Wave brings his insider’s view on the artificial intelligence revolution to both readers and listeners. You can also find all of their books and a few more in Intelligence Squared’s Twelve Books of Christmas list. https://www.intelligencesquared.com/the-blog/?p=the-twelve-books-of-christmas ...
