The future is unfolding fast—explore how AI is advancing human potential for a thriving tomorrow
8080 Books is a nonprofit publishing imprint that spans science, tech, leadership, and business, all inspired by the innovative spirit of the original 8080 microprocessor.
The latest title, Showstopper!, is originally conceived as a real-time saga of 250 people racing against time and the limits of technical possibility, now best understood as history-and not simply the first draft of history either.
The human edge
Brad Smith connects with LinkedIn CEO and Microsoft EVP Ryan Roslansky for a practical conversation about what AI means for day‑to‑day work and what you can do right now. Drawing from his new book co‑authored with LinkedIn Chief Economic Opportunity Officer Aneesh Raman—Open to Work: How to Get Ahead in the Age of AI—Ryan shares a simple way to reframe your career.
Start with tasks, not job titles, and use AI as a thought partner, helping you get up to speed faster and sharpen your thinking. As the conversation broadens our understanding of what AI will automate and augment, it also highlights what won’t change. Curiosity, courage, communication, and compassion remain deeply human—and increasingly valuable.
Think about your career less like a ladder and focus more on what adjacent skills you can be picking up. With AI, you feel like you have this superpower to do more.
The heart behind the stream
How did a video clerk help turn a DVD-by-mail service into the world’s biggest entertainment platform? Brad Smith sits down with Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, to discuss the bold moves, creative instincts, and data-driven decisions that fueled the rise of Netflix.
Leading through the AI Revolution
While growing up in India, Satya Nadella’s passion for cricket and poetry began to shape his unique approach to leadership as Microsoft CEO. His father’s role as a civil servant at the UN coupled with his mother’s position as a professor of Sanskrit drama influenced Satya’s dedication to building a culture of learning.
