***BONUS CHAPTER FROM KADRA'S POV INCLUDED*** He's the monster that threw me from a tower. So why am I falling for him? Four years ago, someone tried to kill me. I survived, but the case was buried, the truth erased. Now I've returned as a Petitor, a prosecutor with the power to detect lies. My mission is simple: uncover the truth, expose the killer, and burn the system that let him walk free. Instead, I'm assigned to work with Tetrarch Kadra. Cold. Cruel. Beautiful. The most feared of the four judges who rule our land, and far too dangerous to trust. Because his voice matches the only memory I have of my attacker. By day, I solve cases by his side. By night, I plan his downfall. But Kadra is more than a monster-he's magnetic, merciless, and maddeningly hard to resist. The fury he unleashes against the corrupt makes me question everything I thought I knew. Including my own heart. This isn't justice. It's obsession. And if I'm not careful, it won't be vengeance that ruins me - it'll be love.

From the Nobel Prize Winner, author of The Last Girl, comes an inspiring new story. Nadia Murad, a young Iraqi woman has made the powerful decision to define herself not as victim of war crime, but as an activist for women, rallying particularly against Conflict-related Sexual Violence with the backing of supporters such as Amal Clooney. She tells of finding a voice, an education and love. Nadia Murad told the shocking account of how she and thousands of other Yazidi women in Iraq were kidnapped by ISIS militants and sold into slavery in 2014. Her daring escape from her captor in Mosul, her determination to alert the world to this injustice and her subsequent campaign for the release of other women formed her memoir, The Last Girl. Now, living between America and Germany, and free of those who sought to control her and her message after her escape, Nadia Murad has graduated from an American university with a degree in Sociology and, despite some opposition, married her love, Abid, a human rights advocate and a former translator and advisor with the American military in Iraq. I Choose My Beginning , a powerful journey and a quest to transform her experience from oppression and silence into one of strength and perseverance - and even joy -- takes readers into the courtrooms where survivors of CRSV fight for justice, classrooms where children learn to live in war zones, and camps where refugees grapple with uncertain futures. We witness the first successful convictions of genocide against ISIS members and meet other activists and survivors of CRSV. We visit the Nadia's home village, still standing a decade after the genocide, and witness as she rebuilds a new home, one defined by love and ideals, not by religion or nationality. And Nadia tells the stories of her loved ones -- those who survived and those who did not -- who are the inspiration for her life's work. Nadia's organization, Nadia's Initiative, has helped to rebuild parts of Iraq - including women's centers, and a hospital; rebuilt hundreds of Yazidi farms and wells; designed and opened a memorial where there was once a mass grave - showing that war refugees, given the chance, can return home. Nadia herself has become a leader in the worldwide movement to treat CRSV as a war crime, building a community of survivors, once silenced, that grows louder and stronger with every word. The Last Girl was the memoir of a survivor of unspeakable crimes; I Choose My Beginning tells the story of an extraordinary young woman, passionately writing her own life.

With Empire of AI, Hao is fundamentally shaping many people’s perceptions and understanding of the company at the center of the AI revolution.” —TIME Magazine, “TIME100 AI 2025” “Excellent and deeply reported.” —Tim Wu, The New York Times “Startling and intensely researched . . . an essential account of how OpenAI and ChatGPT came to be and the catastrophic places they will likely take us.” —Vulture From a brilliant longtime AI insider with intimate access to the world of Sam Altman's OpenAI from the beginning, an eye-opening account of arguably the most fateful tech arms race in history, reshaping the planet in real time, from the cockpit of the company that is driving the frenzy When AI expert and investigative journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, the organization was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely mercantile, and potentially dangerous, forces. What could go wrong? Over time, Hao began to wrestle ever more deeply with that question. Increasingly, she realized that the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that its vision of success requires an almost unprecedented amount of resources: the “compute” power of high-end chips and the processing capacity to create massive large language models, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans “cleaning up” that data for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the usage of energy and water underlying it all. The truth is that we have entered a new and ominous age of empire: only a small handful of globally scaled companies can even enter the field of play. At the head of the pack with its ChatGPT breakthrough, how would OpenAI resist such temptations? Spoiler alert: it didn’t. Armed with Microsoft’s billions, OpenAI is setting a breakneck pace, chased by a small group of the most valuable companies in human history—toward what end, not even they can define. All this time, Hao has maintained her deep sourcing within the company and the industry, and so she was in intimate contact with the story that shocked the entire tech industry—Altman’s sudden firing and triumphant return. The behind-the-scenes story of what happened, told here in full for the first time, is revelatory of who the people controlling this technology really are. But this isn’t just the story of a single company, however fascinating it is. The g forces pressing down on the people of OpenAI are deforming the judgment of everyone else too—as such forces do. Naked power finds the ideology to cloak itself; no one thinks they’re the bad guy. But in the meantime, as Hao shows through intrepid reporting on the ground around the world, the enormous wheels of extraction grind on. By drawing on the viewpoints of Silicon Valley engineers, Kenyan data laborers, and Chilean water activists, Hao presents the fullest picture of AI and its impact we’ve seen to date, alongside a trenchant analysis of where things are headed. An astonishing eyewitness view from both up in the command capsule of the new economy and down where the real suffering happens, Empire of AI pierces the veil of the industry defining our era.
