Technology is our new life partner. No longer confined to the sidelines, new interactive technologies like AI therapists, avatar friends, and robot assistants are ready to transform technology's role from basic tools of convenience to intimate elements of our social and emotional lives.

Locked away in refrigerated vaults, sanitized by gas chambers, and secured within bombproof caverns deep under mountains are America's most prized materials: the ever-expanding collection of records that now accompany each of us from birth to death. This data complex backs up and protects our most vital information against decay and destruction, and yet it binds us to corporate and government institutions whose power is also preserved in its bunkers, infrastructures, and sterilized spaces.

Surveillance Capitalism in America offers a crucial historical perspective on the intimate relationship between surveillance and capitalism. While surveillance is often associated with governments, today the role of the private sector in the spread of everyday surveillance is the subject of growing public debate. Tech giants like Google and Facebook are fueled by a continuous supply of user data and digital exhaust. Surveillance is not just a side effect of digital capitalism; it is the business model itself.

Wie ein Boom an Innovationen die größten Probleme der Menschheit lösen und unser Leben verändern wird. Autos, die kein Benzin mehr verbrennen, an keine Steckdose mehr müssen und allein über die Straßen steuern. Getreide, das mit wenigen Tropfen Wasser wächst und ganze Dörfer ernährt. Krankheiten, die von allein Alarm schlagen und sich selbst ausrotten - zu schön, um wahr zu sein? Im Gegenteil: Zum ersten Mal könnten diese Dinge Wirklichkeit werden. Christoph Keese hat mit deutschen Erfindern, Gründerinnen, Investoren und Innovatorinnen gesprochen, in ihre Werkstätten und Labors geschaut.

Gobiernos y cientos de empresas nos espían: a ti y a todos tus conocidos. Quieren predecir nuestro comportamiento e influir en él. Tienen demasiado poder. Su poder proviene de nosotros, de ti, de tus datos. Recuperar la privacidad es la única manera de que podamos asumir de nuevo el mando de nuestras vidas y de nuestras sociedades. Carissa Véliz explica cómo nuestros datos personales están cediendo demasiado poder a las grandes empresas tecnológicas y a los gobiernos, por qué esto es importante y qué podemos hacer al respecto.

Estamos frente a una nueva revolución industrial, un proceso siempre traumático en el corto plazo que en el medio y el largo acaba mereciendo la pena, generando mucho empleo y devolviendo la esperanza a quienes nacieron sin ella o la dejaron por el camino. Desafortunadamente, saberlo no minimiza el trauma social, por lo que "No te vas a morir" llega para apoyar a todos aquellos que apuesten por sumarse a este fenómeno, sea cual sea su edad, profesión o experiencia laboral, porque en estos momentos hay espacio para todos.

This audiobook coins the term "noble automation" as combining intelligent automation technology with the inspired and insightful leadership necessary to help humans become heroes. Doing so stimulates a wave of human innovation and taps into the incredible potential of people working toward inspiring goals. Companies profit, and people thrive. The benefits of implementing noble automation include freeing people to be more human by removing drudgery, providing insights, and allowing us the time and energy to feel, think, empathize, and connect.

"Är det ett skämt att du och dina kollegor sitter och anmäler mina inlägg på instagram? FUCK THAT!". Hatet väller fram på sociala medier. Mottagarna? Yasmine Winberg och Julia Lundin, båda journalister på tidningen Resumé, som har anmält 14 influencers och 18 inlägg till Reklamombudsmannen för att få en tydligare klarhet i vad som gäller när det kommer till reklammärkning i sociala medier. Influencers är vår tids nya älsklingar, men också tidernas minst granskade makthavare.

Von der Sonnenuhr zum Fischer-Dübel: Die Welt der Technik in 100 Objekten. Von einem Cembalo aus dem Venedig des 16. Jahrhunderts über den Benz-Patent-Motorwagen Nr. 1 und die Aufnahme Röntgens von der Hand seiner Frau bis zu einer Recyclingtasche und dem mRNA-Impfstoff gegen COVID-19 von BioNTech – jedes dieser 100 Objekte erzählt seine Geschichte auf mehreren Ebenen.

Information is power, and the time is now for digital liberation. Access Rules mounts a strong and hopeful argument for how informational tools at present in the hands of a few could instead become empowering machines for everyone. By forcing data-hoarding companies to open access to their data, we can reinvigorate both our economy and our society. Authors Viktor Mayer-Schönberger and Thomas Ramge contend that if we disrupt monopoly power and create a level playing field, digital innovations can emerge to benefit us all.

One Day at a Time explores 365 moments in human history, from the development of writing through the 21st century. These snapshots into the past capture the evolution of technology, the increasing connections between distant lands, and the individual triumphs that make history so fascinating.

In the tradition of Guns, Germs, and Steel, Enlightenment Now, and Sapiens, Michael Magoon shows us that by learning from the past, we can let go of our negative attitudes about the present, and change our world for the better. For virtually all of history, humanity was trapped in poverty by geographical constraints. Fortunately for us, a few societies invented the five keys to progress (productive agriculture, cities, decentralization of power, export industries, and fossil fuels), laying the foundations for our current progress.

Historian Thomas J. Misa's sweeping history of the relationship between technology and society over the past 500 years reveals how technological innovations have shaped—and have been shaped by—the cultures in which they arose. In this edition, Misa brings his acclaimed text up to date by drawing on current scholarship while retaining sharply drawn portraits of individual people, artifacts, and systems. A masterful analysis of technology and culture, Leonardo to the Internet frames a history that illuminates modern-day problems and prospects of a technology-dependent world.

It seems that just about every new technology that we bring to bear on improving our lives brings with it some downside, side effect, or unintended consequence. These issues can pose very real and growing ethical problems for all of us. For example, automated facial recognition can make life easier and safer for us—but it also poses huge issues with regard to privacy, ownership of data, and even identity theft. Technology Is Not Neutral addresses one of today’s most pressing problems: How to create and use tools and technologies to maximize benefits and minimize harms.

The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican-style government to roads. Similarly, by the third century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function.
