In Overcomplicated, complexity scientist Samuel Arbesman offers a fresh, insightful field guide to living with complex technologies that defy human comprehension. As technology grows more complex, Arbesman argues, its behavior mimics the vagaries of the natural world more than it conforms to a mathematical model.

In Techlash, he connects the experiences of the late 19th century’s industrial Gilded Age with its echoes in the 21st century digital Gilded Age. In both cases, technology innovation and the great wealth that it created ran up against the public interest and the rights of others.

Starting with hands, abacus, and slide rule, humans have always reached for tools to simplify math. Pocket-sized calculators ushered in modern mathematics, helped build the atomic bomb, took us to the bottom of the ocean, and accompanied us to the moon.

Keith Houston transports listeners from the nascent economies of the ancient world to World War II, and into the technological arms race that led to the first affordable electronic pocket calculators.

Per James Williams, prima strategist di Google poi filosofo formatosi a Oxford, la più recente minaccia alla libertà degli uomini viene dai sistemi di persuasione intelligente che sempre di più indirizzano i nostri pensieri e le nostre azioni.

Demokratiepolitisch bedeutsam wird dies bei der vielbeschworenen Debattenkultur. Denn die Umgangsformen der sogenannten Sozialen Medien haben längst auf die anderen Arenen übergegriffen, Politik und Journalismus spielen schon nach den neuen, erbarmungsloseren Regeln.

Since the internet's earliest days, people have died and mourned online. In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger.
