2 books celebrating New York City culture and community win the Gotham Prize
NEW YORK — This year's winners of the Gotham Book Prize celebrate New York City as experienced on foot, bus and train. Ian Frazier, author of 'Paradise Bronx: The Life and Times of New York's Greatest Borough,' and Nicole Gelinas, who wrote 'Movement: New York's Long War to Take Back Its Streets from the Car,' will split the $50,000 in prize money given for books that 'encourage and honor writing about New York City,' award officials announced Monday. Philanthropists-political strategists Bradley Tusk and Howard Wolfson cofounded the Gotham prize in 2020 as a 'way to uplift the creative community' during the pandemic. In 'Paradise Bronx,' Frazier draws upon his years of walking about the New York City borough and weaves together everything from Revolutionary War history to baseball and hip-hop . Gelinas' 'Movement' continues the tradition of such classics as Robert Caro's 'The Power Broker' in documenting how New Yorkers have fought for the preservation and improvement of mass transit. 'This year, we are proud to award the Gotham Book Prize to two outstanding works of non-fiction that combine rigorous research with a unique point of view to illuminate the rich and complex history that makes New York City great,' Tusk and Wolfson said in a statement. 2021: James McBride, 'Deacon King Kong.' 2022: Andrea Ellott, 'Invisible Child.' 2023: John Wood Sweet, 'The Sewing Girl's Tale,' and Sidik Fofana, 'Stories from the Tenant Downstairs.' 2024: Colson Whitehead, 'Crook Manifesto.'

Why QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM) Is Among the Most Promising Future Stocks
We recently published a list of 11 Most Promising Future Stocks According to Hedge Funds. In this article, we are going to take a look at where QUALCOMM Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM) stands against other most promising future stocks to buy now. The past year has seen investors pour money into futuristic trends such as electric vehicles and AI. These trends have raised the question of whether regulators will slow their growth in 2025 or attain more space to run with a green signal from the government. Venture Capitalist Bradley Tusk appeared on CNBC to talk about the industries that are expected to thrive in 2025 and how policy changes could affect investments across these hot industries. He said that while some of the policies on big tech might continue, we would likely see a friendlier climate towards M&A activity and new technology in fintech, healthcare tech, and energy. The various factors are thus coming together well, especially in the world of venture capital. While it has not been all that vibrant there in the past few years, things are starting to turn around now. What Could the Future Look Like for AI? However, Tusk said that he does not feel confident that the current administration would provide the necessary safety and security while also letting technology get competitive. He provides Internet 2.0 as evidence, saying that we still have to regulate social media while we are a decade and a half into this experiment now. While we have a good idea of how to regulate AI, the federal and state-level authorities have not been particularly competent at broadly regulating new technologies. If you leave it to the state, you will likely get 50 different intellectual and analytical frameworks on regulating AI, which becomes almost impossible for the companies to comply with. Tusk thus opines that we could really use some competent leadership at the federal level, as these factors might be a potential hindrance to the upside of this technology. Talking further about the future of the AI industry, he said that people will likely continue to build an arms race in the area, and the momentum and excitement will continue irrespective of the circumstances. Companies in this area are so heavily invested that they have to keep investing no matter what. At the same time, AI is still a world of unfulfilled potential. There is a lot of talk about what it could be and how it could change the way we create new drugs, teach children, discover minerals, or anything else. But at some point, it has to go from a cool search engine and exciting potential idea to actual revenue and savings. Tusk said that this is the year it has to start being shown, as you can't just forever continue investing for the potential that may come someday; at one point, the economics have to come in too.
