From two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author Colson Whitehead comes the thrilling and entertaining sequel to Harlem Shuffle.

1971, New York City. Trash piles up on the streets, crime is at an all-time high, the city is going bankrupt, and a shooting war has broken out between the NYPD and the Black Liberation Army. Furniture store owner and ex-fence Ray Carney is trying to keep his head down, his business up and his life straight. But then he needs Jackson 5 tickets for his daughter May and he decides to hit up an old police contact, who wants favours in return. For Ray, staying out of the game gets a lot more complicated - and deadly.

1973. The old ways are being overthrown by the thriving counterculture, but Pepper, Carney's enduringly violent partner in crime, is a constant. In these difficult times, Pepper takes on a side gig doing security on a Blaxploitation shoot in Harlem, finding himself in a world of Hollywood stars and celebrity drug dealers, in addition to the usual cast of hustlers, mobsters and hit men. These adversaries underestimate the seasoned crook - to their regret.

1976. Harlem is burning, while the country gears up for the Bicentennial. Carney is trying to come up with a celebratory July 4th advertisement he can actually live with, while his wife Elizabeth is campaigning for her childhood friend, rising politician Alexander Oakes. When a fire seriously injures one of Carney's tenants, he enlists Pepper to look into who may be behind it, navigating a crumbling metropolis run by the shady, the violent and the utterly corrupt.

In scalpel-sharp prose and with unnerving clarity and wit, Colson Whitehead writes about a city that runs on cronyism, threats, ego, ambition, incompetence and even, sometimes, pride. Crook Manifesto is a kaleidoscopic portrait of Harlem, and a searching portrait of how families work in the face of chaos and hostility.

Your Blueprint for Building Smarter AI!
Format: Paperback
If you're building AI and sometimes feel a bit lost, "LLM Design Patterns" by Ken Huang is like finding the secret map you've been searching for. Ken Huang, who clearly knows his stuff (he's a renowned AI expert and works with big names like OWASP and NIST), writes in a way that just clicks, without getting bogged down in super-dense tech talk. The author even acknowledges using AI to make the language clearer for a smooth reading experience! This book covers everything you need, from getting your data squeaky clean to making AI agents that can actually think and act autonomously. For me, the parts on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and advanced ways to 'talk' to your AI (prompting) were particularly eye-opening and immediately useful for my projects. Plus, it has handy code snippets that really help you grasp the ideas. While they're not ready for direct production copy-pasting, they illustrate the concepts perfectly for learning. It's not for absolute beginners – you'll want some basic Python and machine learning smarts to get the most out of it – but the effort is totally worth it. It even delves into making sure your AI is fair and unbiased, which was a real lightbulb moment for me. This book is crammed with actionable advice; it's less about abstract theory and more about real-world solutions you can actually use. If you're serious about building impressive AI systems professionally, this is a must-read.

Title: Really Good Book for Learning LLMs
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I picked up this book after struggling with LLM implementation at work. Ken Huang explains things clearly without too much technical jargon. The book covers everything from data preparation to building AI agents. I especially liked the chapters on RAG and prompting techniques - they helped me improve my current projects. The code examples actually work, which is nice. Some parts are pretty advanced, so you need basic Python knowledge. I had to read a few chapters twice to fully get it. The fairness and bias detection section was eye-opening. Good practical advice throughout. Not just theory - real solutions you can use. Worth the money if you're serious about LLM development. Recommended for anyone building AI systems professionally.
