As night fell on 15 August 2021, the Taliban entered Kabul, capital of Afghanistan. After a 20-year conflict with the United States, its Western allies and a proxy Afghan government, the Islamic militant group once aligned with al Qaeda was about to bury yet another foreign foe in the graveyard of empires. And for the US, the superpower, this was yet another foreign disaster. As cities and towns fell to the Taliban in rapid succession, Western troops and embassy staff scrambled to flee a country of which its government had lost control. August in Kabul is the story of how America's longest mission came to an abrupt and humiliating end, told through the eyes of Afghans whose lives have been turned upside down. Andrew Quilty was one of a handful of Western journalists who stayed in Kabul as the city fell. This is his first-hand account of those dramatic final days. ![Algorithms for the People Democracy in the Age of AI [Audiobook]](https://i121.fastpic.org/big/2023/0112/4e/fd2375dfdb989fbf8ddd90ab15f1e64e.jpeg) Algorithms for the People: Democracy in the Age of AI (Audiobook) English | ASIN: B0BR63CF6N | 2023 | 10 hours and 23 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 298 MB Author: Josh Simons Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt Artificial intelligence and machine learning are reshaping our world.
