Technophilia and Its Discontents

The inside story of one of the most successful U.S. foreign aid programs in the Middle East in recent decades “An amazing story!&nbsp;A Daring Enterprise&nbsp;is a vivid account of the good America can do in the world if we’re faithful to our values.”—David Ignatius, columnist,&nbsp;Washington Post What happens when the United States launches an unconventional foreign aid program in the aftermath of a national uprising? In this behind-the-scenes account of the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund—a private investment fund created by the U.S. Congress to jumpstart Egypt’s private sector after the 2011 Egyptian revolution—A Daring Enterprise&nbsp;tells the story of one of the most effective, yet little known, U.S. foreign policy programs today in the Middle East. Through the firsthand account of the Fund’s chairman James Harmon, a veteran investment banker and former Clinton administration official, the authors reveal how a small, U.S.-backed investment fund partnered with Egyptians to spark investment, create jobs, and expand opportunities for women in the Arab world’s largest country—all against a backdrop of political instability, anti-Americanism, and Washington dysfunction. At a time when America’s budget deficit is rising and foreign aid is being scaled back,&nbsp;A Daring Enterprise&nbsp;reveals how a new model of foreign assistance can tackle urgent development challenges while delivering real returns for U.S. taxpayers. Most importantly, it is a powerful reminder of the value of foreign aid and why smart foreign investment is key to America’s future prosperity.

A Us-Egyptian Partnership and the Case for Soft Power

A Daring Enterprise

A gripping and entertaining memoir that shines a rare light on an industry that is disrupting our lives. Veteran Morgan Stanley banker Alok Sama thought he'd seen it all. Then he found himself chief dealmaker at the most influential technology investor in the world-SoftBank, the backer of Arm Holdings, Yahoo, Nvidia, TikTok, Uber, T-Mobile, Alibaba and WeWork. The Money Trap is Sama's thrilling, stranger-than-fiction personal odyssey featuring his experiences alongside SoftBank's iconic founder, Masayoshi Son, a visionary maverick who wants to be remembered as "the crazy guy who bet on the future" and whose mission is "happiness for everyone." Sama takes the reader on a wild journey as he consorts with A-list CEOs and heads of state, and negotiates mega-deals on a Gulfstream jet, Son's sanctuary with its exquisite Japanese garden, and a waterside restaurant in the Turkish Riviera-all while contending with a mysterious dark-arts smear campaign that takes a toll on his private life. This fascinating and humorous saga provides a unique insider perspective on the insanity of high finance and venture investing. Written with self-deprecating wit, unflinching honesty and searing introspection, The Money Trap is ultimately a morality tale: in life, as in technology investing, more money isn't always the answer.

This book is based around two key premises; all software is an artefact of human construct, and all software shapes the behaviours of those who use it directly or experience its influence indirectly. With the rise of popular consumer facing generative AI tools, never has understanding these two premises been more important or more obscured. This book explores the relationship between people and software as a relationship between a tool and its users.Through a series of exemplar cases, it presents an examination of the historical development of software from a critical perspective with special attention given to the consequences of using this software and assumptions made around its neutrality. The author explores the development of the World Wide Web, Word and Excel, and social media, concluding with an investigation of how the principles identified in these earlier examples are now being found within public interface generative AI tools. The book looks beyond the functionality and user interface of the software to look at it as a complex artefact of human manufacture by exploring the wider cultural and technical environment in which the software is created and considering the political, economic and social forces that come to bear on the software and becomes embodied within. This narrative approach provides readers with valuable insights into the influences of specific software on contemporary society and business, encouraging them to apply a critical lens to their own and their organisation's software use.This book is a novel read for academics and students within software development, information systems, AI and critical management studies.

Elon Musk ist der mächtigste Mann der Welt. Tesla machte ihn zum dreihundertfachen Milliardär, mit seinem Satellitennetzwerk Starlink beeinflusst er das Kriegsgeschehen in der Ukraine. Sein Social-Media-Netzwerk X nutzt Musk als Bühne für seine persönliche Propaganda. Im Herbst 2024 kaufte er sich auch noch in die US-Regierung ein. 
Musk inszeniert sich als Retter der Zivilisation, doch sein Geniegestus birgt eine erschreckende Kehrseite: Ungewöhnlich viele Arbeitsunfälle in seinen Fabriken, gefährliche Fehler des Tesla-Autopiloten und zahllose gebrochene Versprechen werfen einen dunklen Schatten auf seinen Erfolg. 
Die Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden reißen in diesem Buch Musks Fassade ein. Sie analysieren interne Tesla-Daten, werten Gerichtsakten aus und sprechen mit Kunden, Mitarbeitern und Hinterbliebenen. Ihre Recherchen zeigen einen Konzern außer Kontrolle und einen Chef ohne Skrupel. Sie sind ein Vorgeschmack darauf, was die Welt von Musk als erstem globalen Oligarchen zu erwarten hat. 
'Ich habe kein Problem damit, gehasst zu werden', sagt Elon Musk. Seine Biografie gleicht einer Kaskade von Kämpfen - mit seinen Mitarbeitern, seinen Geschäftspartnern und in seinen privaten Beziehungen. Nun ist er der Schattenpräsident der USA und greift über sein Netzwerk X weltweit in die Politik ein. Musk geriert sich als Schutzpatron für rechte und rechtsextreme Politiker. Die preisgekrönten Investigativjournalisten Sönke Iwersen und Michael Verfürden zeichnen das Porträt eines libertären Techno-Autokraten, der keine Grenzen akzeptiert. Sein Motto: Die Welt gehört ihm, alle anderen leben nur darin.&nbsp;Aktualisierte und leicht überarbeitete Neuauflage nach den sich überschlagenden Ereignissen in der US-Regierung und rund um das Tesla-Werk in der brandenburgischen Gemeinde Grünheide.

S.S. Pierce: A Boston Tradition chronicles the history of Samuel Pierce's iconic gourmet food and wine emporium. When Samuel Stillman Pierce opened his store in 1831, he vowed, "I may not make money for the next five years, but I shall make a reputation." Pierce went on to become well known as the purveyor of groceries, fancy goods, wines, and spirits to Bostonians in the nineteenth century, as well as providing provisions to the ships that sailed from Boston Harbor. Bartering with ship captains, he often exchanged his provisions for the delicacies that were brought to Boston from faraway ports. His renowned store catered to the carriage trade, and the company would be headed by four generations of the Pierce family. With its own coat of arms adorning a distinctive red label on canned goods, bearing the motto Puritas et Cura, and the largest line of privately packed fancy foods in the world, S.S. Pierce &amp; Company sold its wide assortment of delicacies at a chain of stores as well as through distributors across the United States and worldwide by mail order. S.S. Pierce &amp; Company was sold in 1967 to Laird Corporation, and in 1972 to Seneca Foods. Since 1986, it has been a part of Kraft Foods Group and M.S. Walker. In his book S.S. Pierce: A Boston Tradition, Anthony M. Sammarco recounts memories of the past and the shared tradition of how Bostonians reveled in the gourmet foods, fine wines, and Madeira of a once stalwart business.

Synthetic Media, Deepfakes, and Cyber Deception: Attacks, Analysis, and Defenses introduces the only analytical Synthetic Media Analysis Framework (SMAF) to help describe cyber threats and help security professionals anticipate and analyze attacks. This framework encompasses seven dimensions: Credibility, Control, Medium, Interactivity, Familiarity, Intended Target, and Evocation. Synthetic media is a broad term that encompasses the artificial manipulation, modification, and production of information, covering a spectrum from audio-video deepfakes to text-based chatbots. Synthetic media provides cyber attackers and scammers with a game-changing advantage over traditional ROSE attacks because they have the potential to convincingly impersonate close associates through text, imagery, voice, and video. This burgeoning threat has yet to be meaningfully addressed through any written treatment on the topic. The book is co-authored by three cyber influence and deception experts who have gained deep knowledge and experience on the topic through diverse, true operational pathways and backgrounds. The diversity and perspectives of the author team makes the content in the book the broadest and deepest treatment of synthetic media attacks available to readers.

Roll the Calls¿is as ferociously powerful as the iconic figure at its centre, Ari Emanuel - the inspiration for¿Entourage's Ari Gold, and one of the most legendary powerbrokers of all time - a man who made rage and chaos into the instruments of his success.Expertly written with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and biographer J. R. Moehringer,¿Roll the Calls¿takes us on a blistering and intimate journey into every battle Ari Emanuel has fought, with raw emotion and unrelenting profanity: a tremendous reading experience and the must-read book of the year.Ari Emanuel is one of the most influential people in the world, but he's also something of a mystery. Part of the reason is Emanuel's job description. As a Hollywood super-agent, he's paid to speak for his clients, not himself.But no more. Now, for the first time, the agent, the mogul, the iconic power broker speaks for himself, about himself, and about the game of life, often at the top of his lungs. In¿Roll the Calls,¿a fiery, furious memoir, Emanuel gives an insider's account of every major success and setback, every triumphant merger and nasty breakup, every hard-won lesson and crushing mistake.In excruciating, comical detail, he recounts the trajectory of his brilliant career, from clerking in the mailroom of CAA to striking out on his own, launching a new firm with three other agents and no money, eventually signing some of the most glittering names in show business, including Larry David, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Scorsese and Oprah Winfrey. Along the way, Emanuel was also raising four kids, coping with a failing marriage and fighting to find love again.Told in taut, telegraphic prose, with uncommon humility and ribald humour,¿Roll the Calls¿shatters the mould of stodgy CEO memoirs. It's a story about success and failure, creativity and persistence, and the priceless value of simply never giving up -a master class in blocking out the naysayers and pushing forward through every bitter defeat.
