Todo gran viaje comienza en los libros. Con una perfecta unión de rigor histórico e intriga, Luis Zueco traslada al lector a una época en que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa. Hubo un tiempo en que los libros podían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia. Esta novela es un viaje a los años siguientes a la invención de la imprenta, cuando un mercader de libros emprende la búsqueda de un misterioso ejemplar que ha sido robado de la mayor biblioteca de Occidente, creada en Sevilla por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón. Año 1517. El joven Thomas atraviesa la incipiente Europa renacentista huyendo de su pasado. Son los años siguientes al descubrimiento de América y la invención de la imprenta, un periodo de profundos cambios que han supuesto el fin de la Edad Media. La curiosidad que siente por el Nuevo Mundo, cosechada en sus múltiples lecturas, le llevará hasta España, donde comenzará a trabajar con un mercader de libros. El encargo de localizar un ejemplar envuelto en un halo misterioso le conduce hasta Sevilla, una próspera ciudad que sirve como enlace en el comercio con las Indias y que alberga, entre sus murallas, la biblioteca más importante de Occidente, creada por el hijo de Cristóbal Colón y llamada la Colombina. Será precisamente allí donde Thomas descubra que alguien ha robado el libro que él busca y, por alguna razón, tiene mucho interés en que nadie lo encuentre. Hubo un tiempo en que los libros permitían descubrir nuevos mundos, tambalear los dogmas más sagrados y cambiar el curso de la Historia. Luis Zueco nos sumerge en los albores de la bibliofilia y nos traslada, en una perfecta unión de rigor histórico y trama trepidante, a una época en la que la palabra impresa podía ser el arma más peligrosa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Every great journey begins inside a book. With a perfect blend of historical rigor and intrigue, Luis Zueco takes the reader to a time when the printed word could be the most dangerous weapon. There was a time when books could help discover new worlds, shake the most sacred dogmas, and change the course of history. This novel is a trip to the years just after the invention of the printing press, when a book merchant begins a search for a mysterious copy that has been stolen from the largest library in the West, created in Seville by Christopher Columbus' son. It is the year 1517, young Thomas crosses the emerging Renaissance Europe fleeing from his past. It is in those years following America's discovery and the invention of the printing press, a period of profound changes that meant the end of the Middle Ages. The great curiosity and attraction he feels for the New World, cultivated by his constant readings, will take him to Spain, where he will begin to work with a book merchant. The task of locating a copy shrouded in mystery takes him to Seville, a prosperous city that serves as a link in trade with the Indies and which holds, within its walls, the most important library in the West, created by Christopher Columbus' son and called the Colombina. It is precisely there that Thomas discovers that someone has stolen the book he is looking for and, for some reason, is very keen to ensure that no one finds it. There was a time when books allowed us to discover new worlds, shake the most sacred dogmas, and change the course of history. Luis Zueco immerses his readers in the dawn of bibliophiles and transports us, with a perfect union of historical rigor and a fast-paced plot, to a time when the printed word could be the most dangerous weapon.Shipping Notes

A wonderful primer for those discovering the amazing world of generative AI
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Somewhere in the past year, ChatGPT has gone from "cool, interesting, amusing" to a massively valuable work assistant capable of writing Python scripts, analysing data, and doing lots, lots, more. The key to this? The rapid evolution of OpenAI's GPT models and making my first forays into prompt engineering.
If I thought I was getting good, though, this book took me reminded me that I'm just scratching the surface. Halfway through the first chapter I was already furiously scribbling notes in the margins for what I could do better with my prompt writing and by the end of the text I felt like I had gotten a very good grounding - not just in GPTs specifically but in the bigger picture of how these hugely powerful tools were trained and came to maturity.
I imagine that few will argue with my assertion that there is lots of hyperbole and "noise" in the AI space right now which, as ever, makes it hard to pick out the signal from the noise. Which is precisely why I sought out an O'Reilly title and I'm very glad that I did.
Thorough, excellent, and I hope that this edition will be the first of many. As this rapidly maturing field scales and matures I think that prompt engineering will be an essential discipline to master. Pick up this text to get a good foothold on things.

Understanding AI prompts as a science
Format: Audiobook
Prompt engineering is the art and science of finding the right words to generate the right responses from artificial intelligence (AI). It's becoming a skill in-demand in today's workplaces. It's also becoming an essential skill for life. To understand prompt engineering, you must understand how AI tools understand their inputs. This book explains that to you in many forms.
It covers prompting as it intersects all the major AI disciplines, like general prompts (as in a ChatBot), fine-tuning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It also introduces how prompting intersects a couple of image-generation tools.
As a scientist, I appreciate the theoretical approach to these practical matters. Too many people are hacks at AI these days, and any technical understanding can rapidly advance an individual's effectiveness. Prompt engineering is often made fun of as a "soft" topic, but as this book demonstrates, it intersects all the major AI areas. Presumably less garbage in means less garbage out. This book shows how you can make that take place.
As typical for O'Reilly materials, this book appeals to people who desire an intermediate-to-advanced understanding of how AI works. It's not for the casual user. Anyone technical involved in professional knowledge generation using AI can benefit from understanding the dynamics "under the hood." It's a good, though perhaps not ground-breaking, textbook for those of us unable to take a class in the subject. Prompt engineering may be a soft topic to many, but books like this ground the field in the science that can make or break a digital or software product.
