In no more than the blink of an eye, a naïve optimism about technology’s liberating potential has given way to a dystopian obsession with biased algorithms, surveillance capitalism, and job-displacing robots. System Error exposes the root of our current predicament - how big tech’s relentless focus on optimization is driving a future that reinforces discrimination, erodes privacy, displaces workers, and pollutes the information we get- and outlines steps we can take to change course, renew our democracy, and save ourselves.

Today’s major technology companies - Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tesla, and others - wield more power than national governments. In this comprehensive, engaging, and prescriptive audiobook, Alexis Wichowski considers their growing and unavoidable influence in our lives, showing in eye-opening detail how these net states are conquering countries, disrupting reality, and jeopardizing our future - and what we can do to regulate and reform the industry before it does irreparable harm to the way we think, how we act, and how we’re governed.

In this riveting account of an area of Appalachia known as the Quiet Zone where cell phones and Wi-Fi are banned, journalist Stephen Kurczy explores the pervasive role of technology in our lives and the innate human need for quiet.

There's no doubt that technology has overrun our lives. Over the past few decades, the world has embraced "progress", and we're living with the resultant clicking, beeping, anxiety-inducing frenzy. But a creative backlash is gathering steam, helping us cope with the avalanche of data that threatens to overwhelm us daily through our computers, tablets, and smartphones.

This audiobook addresses the new branch called cyberpsychology, which shows how there has been a change in the person-technology relationship, analyzing how new developments affect the day-to-day life of the person, as well as the mental health of its users.

Are you using social media, or is social media using you? The world is on fire, and social media is fanning the flames. If information is power, the internet is a neutron bomb. We get most of our information from social media, and what do we have to show for it? No civil discourse, no cooperation, misinformation, and mistruth. We are going to spend 2020 relating to each other through social media.

Future Imperfect describes and discusses technological revolutions that might happen over the next few decades, their implications, and how to deal with them. Topics range from encryption and surveillance through biotechnology and nanotechnology to life extension, mind drugs, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. One theme of the book is that the future is radically uncertain.

The world is an uncertain and unnerving place right now. Technological advancement is creating a perfect storm of disruption, changing the way we shop, eat, work, and communicate. The traditional structures that underpin Western society are all unraveling, identity politics is running rampant, and there is a heightened sense of victimhood with demands for the state to intervene.

Innovation. Meritocracy. The possibility of overnight success. What's not to love about Silicon Valley? These days, it's hard to be unambiguously optimistic about the growth-at-all-costs ethos of the tech industry. Public opinion is souring in the wake of revelations about Cambridge Analytica, Theranos, and the workplace conditions of Amazon workers or Uber drivers. It's becoming clear that the tech industry's promised "innovation" is neither sustainable nor always desirable.

Warum wir uns freiwillig unterwerfen. Ein kleiner Kreis von gleichgesinnten überreichen CEO's aus Silicon Valley und aus China spielt derzeit Gott und arbeitet daran, alles zu automatisieren, was automatisiert werden kann. Und wir alle spielen mit, wickeln unser Berufs-, Sozial- und Liebesleben mit ihren Algorithmen ab und werden zu ihren Komplizen. Was nur macht diese Faszination aus?, fragt Internetexpertin Gisela Schmalz. Warum lassen wir eine Fremdbestimmung durch technologiekontrollierende Machtcliquen überhaupt zu?

In Glow Kids, Dr. Nicholas Kardaras will examine how technology - more specifically, age-inappropriate screen tech, with all of its glowing ubiquity - has profoundly affected the brains of an entire generation. Brain imaging research is showing that stimulating glowing screens are as dopaminergic (dopamine activating) to the brain’s pleasure center as sex. And a growing mountain of clinical research correlates screen tech with disorders like ADHD, addiction, anxiety, depression, increased aggression, and even psychosis.

Ein 19-Jähriger, der vom elterlichen Wohnzimmer aus knapp eine Tonne Drogen verkauft, Whistleblower, die im Schutz der Anonymität brisante Informationen übermitteln.

Es hat ihn gereizt, diesem schwer zu erkundenden Ort seine Geheimnisse zu entlocken.

Social media on the internet can be a nightmarish place. A primary shield against hateful language, violent videos, and online cruelty uploaded by users is not an algorithm. It is people. Mostly invisible by design, more than 100,000 commercial content moderators evaluate posts on mainstream social media platforms: enforcing internal policies, training artificial intelligence systems, and actively screening and removing offensive material. Roberts, an award-winning social media scholar, offers the first extensive ethnographic study of the commercial content moderation industry.
