Hi, I’m Patrik 👋 This is a spontaneous experiment born from a crazy idea and a long-standing **passion** for blockchain. 🚀 Working in a Leadership Role in a large AI Platform Company, I’m exploring what a next role in the blockchain industry and corporate use cases could look like – and how blockchain can seriously reshape real-world business processes, not just live in whitepapers.​ At the same time, AI is already disrupting how projects get delivered: small, sharp teams are starting to outperform big legacy players with ultra‑efficient, AI-augmented services. ⚙️🤖 That collision of Blockchain × AI × Project Delivery is exactly the space I want to think, debate, and brainstorm in – together with people who feel the same pull.​ If you’re curious, ambitious, and up for an honest, no‑BS conversation in a small group, this meetup is for you. 💬🔥 Bring your ideas, questions, and half-baked thoughts – let’s see what we can build from them. Join our Whatsapp Group to get more details and the location: https://chat.whatsapp.com/CH47tTQqCwv7pZ3eBgpF5K

الكتاب يتوفر مطبوعا والكترونيا (يرجى متابعة الرابط للتفاصيل) اقترح الكتاب ويدير الحوار وليد بازرجي “أدركنا منذ زمن طويل أنه لم يعُد بالإمكان قلبُ هذا العالم، ولا تغييره إلى الأفضل، ولا إيقاف جريانه البائس إلى الأمام. لم يكن ثمة سوى مقاومة وحيدة ممكنة: ألّا نأخذه على محمل الجد”. كأنما أراد كونديرا أن يلخِّص بهذه العبارة كلّ أعماله، إذ إن “حفلة التفاهة” هذه، آخر رواية له، هي تتويج لكلِّ كتاباته. ليس هنالك ما هو جدّي، لا ستالين صياد الحجل، ولا الخادم الذي اختلق لغة باكستانية مبسَّطة، ولا من يهوى السرَّة، ولا المؤلف، ولا أقواله… كل شيء يتخذ صورة العبث اللانهائي الذي بثّه كونديرا في معظم كتاباته. ماذا يتبقى من حياة أي إنسان؟ إنها هذه التفاهة بالضبط، وهي التي تتيح لنا أن نشعر بأننا أقلّ أهمية، وأكثر حرية، وأكثر التصاقاً بالأدب من العالم المحيط بنا. هذا الكتاب القيِّم والمُبهِج والمسلّي سيمتِّع على الأخص أولئك الذين سبق لهم أن ولجوا عالم كونديرا الرائع. إنه كتاب يمزج في آنٍ معاً التاريخ والفلسفة والهزل، هذا الثلاثي الرائع، ليروي قصة يلتقي فيها ستالين مع رجال عظماء آخرين من قرون منصرمة يتعايشون في “حفلة التفاهة” هذه بطريقة طريفة ومتفرّدة. ماذا يسعنا أن نقول أيضاً؟ لا شيء. اقرؤوا! حفلة التفاهة - ميلان كونديرا المركز الثقافي العربي 2014 (111 صفحة) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23490687 كيف أحصل على الكتاب؟ مكتبة غاف التواصل عن طريق الموبايل او الواتس اب +971527798773 سعيد (متجر لتوصيل الكتب داخل الإمارات) التواصل عن طريق الموبايل او الواتس اب +971508386699 تطبيق أبجد على الآيفون والآندرويد https://www.abjjad.com/ Kinokuniya https://uae.kinokuniya.com/ مؤسسة هنداوي https://www.hindawi.org Storytel https://www.storytel.com نيل وفرات المتجر الاكتروني للكتب https://www.neelwafurat.com/ وراقون المتجر الاكتروني للكتب https://wrraqoon.com/ Google Play الكتب على متجر https://play.google.com/store/books Amazon الكتب على متجر https://www.amazon.ae/ Virgin الكتب على متجر https://www.virginmegastore.ae/ Iqraa shelves on goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/44694 Iqraa on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/iqraaarabicdubai/ Iqraa on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArabicBookClubDubai
