Since its completion in 1937, Tegelslagaren 12 has held a modest yet striking presence in Stockholm's Södermalm district. This brick-and-teak 'rental palace' offers a unique take on functionalism, balancing whimsy with rationality, tradition with surprise. It also marks the beginning of the productive partnership between architects Sven Backström and Leif Reinius and the builder Olle Engkvist, a collaboration that would profoundly shape welfare-state housing and postwar architecture in Sweden as well as internationally.<br/><br/>Originally commissioned and still owned by the same family, Tegelslagaren 12 has recently undergone its first major renovation led by architects Krupinski/Krupinska. This book is a record of a remarkable building and its many makers, stewards and users: a testament to the enduring value of architectural craftsmanship, collaboration, and care.

The Double Self In Religious Experience [Bok / Flexband]

AI is a continuous and narrowing balancing act. Companies unleashing powerful new AI models have to balance safety and speed, but the markets only reward them for the latter. Alignment remains science fiction. <br/><br/>Like all technology, AI can be used for good and bad. But when <i>bad </i>could mean auto-hacking a power grid, AI-scamming bank networks or designing new pandemic viruses using only a prompt, freedom enables disasters. Here we have to balance the narrowing path between potentially disastrous freedom with the dystopia of a surveillance state.  <br/><br/>Sure, mankind has handled transformational tools before. But not a tool that can create infinite new tools. AI is ultimately the last tool we have to invent, but it will also be mankind's ultimate test. <br/><br/>What happens when AI exponentially empowers everyone but also keeps polarising and radicalising us for maximum social media engagement? AI feels democratizing but is ultimately a winner-take-all technology. What happens when AI makes the wealth gap peak?  <br/><br/>What happens when nobody can distinguish real content from deepfake? How will the legal system work when evidence, alibis and implications can be generated? Can <i>Universal Basic Income</i> feed an unemployable world? <br/><br/>This book lists more problems than solutions, reflecting another unsettling imbalance. Some problems are fixable but some are so systemically deep that the best we can do is understand and talk about them before its too late. <br/><br/><b>About the author</b>: Eric Langenskiöld is an awarded AI keynote speaker, startup investor and serial entrepreneur.
