Hätten Sie gedacht, dass 'Wie hilft man Bienen?' und 'Wie oft kann ich Blut spenden?' zu den häufigsten Google-Anfragen gehören? Milliarden Fragen werden jeden Tag von Menschen auf der ganzen Welt in Google-Suchfenster getippt oder ins Handy gesprochen. Ob es um Informationen zu einem tollen Kochrezept geht, den nächsten Auftritt des Lieblingspopstars, die Größe des Universums, hilfreiche Tipps bei Schnupfen oder das beste Mittel gegen eine Ameisenstraße in der Küche - diese Anfragen geben ein höchst aktuelles Bild von Nöten, Vorlieben, Interessen und Befindlichkeiten eines großen Teils der Weltbevölkerung zu einer bestimmten Zeit. Und es ist ein ehrliches, denn wir bewegen uns bei den Anfragen nicht in der Öffentlichkeit z. B. der Social Media. Anhand dieser Riesenmenge an Daten lassen sich zeitnah Trends ablesen und phantastische Geschichten erzählen, vor allem auch solche, die Mut machen, weil sie zeigen, dass Tag für Tag Menschen sich tatsächlich kümmern und Anteil nehmen. Simon Rogers nimmt uns mit auf eine ebenso unterhaltsame wie augenöffnende Reise durch die Welt der Daten, die wir selbst täglich mitgestalten. Mit zahlreichen Infografiken.

An award-winning neurologist on the Stone-Age roots of our screen addictions, and what to do about them. The human brain hasn’t changed much since the Stone Age, let alone in the mere thirty years of the Screen Age. That’s why, according to neurologist Richard Cytowic—who, Oliver Sacks observed, “changed the way we think of the human brain”—our brains are so poorly equipped to resist the incursions of Big Tech: They are programmed for the wildly different needs of a prehistoric world. In Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age, Cytowic explains exactly how this programming works—from the brain’s point of view. What he reveals in this book shows why we are easily addicted to screen devices; why young, developing brains are particularly vulnerable; why we need silence; and what we can do to push back. In the engaging storytelling style of his popular TED Talk, Cytowic draws an easily comprehensible picture of the Stone Age brain’s workings—the function of neurotransmitters like dopamine in basic instincts for survival such as desire and reward; the role of comparison in emotion, and emotion in competition; and, most significantly, the orienting reflex, one of the unconscious circuits that automatically focus, shift, and sustain attention. Given this picture, the nature of our susceptibility to digital devices becomes clear, along with the possibility of how to break their spell. Full of practical actions that we can start taking right away, Your Stone Age Brain in the Screen Age offers compelling evidence that we can change the way we use technology, resist its addictive power over us, and take back the control we have lost.

'[The DSA] will ensure that the online environment remains a safe space.' - So bewirbt die Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen den Digital Services Act (DSA), eine europäische Verordnung, die darauf abzielt, die Marktmacht großer Online-Plattformen wie Facebook, X, TikTok &amp; Co. einzuhegen. Julia Fischer fokussiert in ihrem Buch das Narrativ der Herstellung eines ¿sicheren Online-Umfelds¿ und fragt: Wer oder was soll durch den DSA geschützt werden und welche Bedeutungen von Un/Sicherheiten werden dabei hervorgebracht? In Anschluss an Autor*innen der Gender Studies sowie der politischen Philosophie legt die Arbeit die Mechanismen der Produktion von Un/Sicherheiten sowie entsprechende Prekarisierungseffekte im DSA offen, um so die Untrennbarkeit von Schutz und Gefährdung in den Blick zu nehmen. Dabei wird deutlich, inwiefern die staatlichen Strukturen der EU gemeinsam mit den Unternehmen im DSA als diejenigen diskursiviert werden, die schützen, während eine potenzielle Mitwirkung der Zivilgesellschaft bei der Herstellung von ¿Sicherheit¿ weitestgehend ausgeblendet wird.

The surprising story of how corporate scandals - from Enron to the Facebook privacy scandal - change the way the world works for the better.Pepper Culpepper and Taeku Lee draw on a decade of research on policymaking and public opinion to show us how scandals can ignite a public with few political outlets for their discontent. Scandals don't simply dominate news cycles: they can provoke us to demand better policy, spurring governments to adopt rules that protect us from massive corporations run amok.Today it is giant companies, not governments, who run the world. They launch rockets into space, control satellite communication and develop era-defining AI technologies. But around the globe, these corporate titans are facing increasing public hostility.Tech giants are seen as promoting misinformation, undermining democracy and violating our privacy. Big banks, reeling since the financial crisis of 2008, continue to be racked with major scandals. Drawing on real-life examples such as the powdered milk scandal that rocked France, the VW scandal in Germany, the Goldman Sachs scandal in the United States, Cambridge Analytica in Britain and Samsung in South Korea - the authors show that these scandals are not just symptoms of a careless corporate elite, they are opportunities for real political change.Pepper Culpepper and Taeku Lee reveal how the shared anger of citizens can be channelled into a backlash that has the potential to reinvigorate our failing democracies. One corporate scandal at a time.

Make Me Famous (Nomad Edition)

The world is hooked on ultra-processed feeds - engineered diets of outrage, falsehood and distraction that are reshaping how we think and what we believe. And like ultra-processed food, they are making us sick - eroding trust, fuelling tribalism and loosening our grip on truth.Seb Butcher is a technology lawyer and former advisor to some of the world's largest companies. In Distorted, he delivers an eye-opening account of how the modern internet is distorting reality itself. Drawing on behavioural science, technology, politics and culture, Butcher reveals the forces behind this distortion - from our own biases to technology addiction, algorithms and generative AI - and why we are splintering into increasingly separate, incompatible worlds.Clear-eyed, rigorous and deeply human, Distorted is a call to reclaim reality before it's too late. As we enter a new era shaped by AI and rising socio-political tensions, Butcher urges the reader not only to confront their online habits, but to ask deeper questions about technological power and human agency. Part diagnosis, part survival guide, Distorted offers a thoughtful and practical path toward rebuilding trust, restoring human connection and finding common ground in an increasingly fractured world - while we still can.

An acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer brings us into the world of the controversial technology firm Palantir and its very colorful and outspoken CEO, Alex Karp, tracing the ascent of Big Data, the rise of surveillance technology, and the shifting global balance of power in the 21st century. Palantir builds data integration software: its technology ingests vast quantities of information and quickly identifies patterns, trends, and connections that might elude the human eye. Founded in 2003 to help the US government in the war on terrorism—an early investor was the CIA—Palantir is now a $400 billion global colossus whose software is used by major intelligence services (including the Mossad), the US military, dozens of federal agencies, and corporate giants like Airbus and BP. From AI to counterterrorism to climate change to immigration to financial fraud to the future of warfare, the company is at the nexus of the most critical issues of the 21st century. Its CEO, Alex Karp, is a distinctive figure on the global business scene. A biracial Jew who is also severely dyslexic, Karp has built Palantir into a tech giant despite having no background in either business or computer science. Instead, he’s a trained philosopher who has become known for his strongly held views on a range of issues and for his willingness to grapple with the moral and ethical implications of Palantir’s work. Those questions have taken on added urgency during the Trump era, which has also brought attention to the political activism of Karp’s close friend and Palantir cofounder Peter Thiel. In The Philosopher in the Valley, journalist Michael Steinberger explores the world of Alex Karp, Palantir, and the future that they are leading us toward. It is an urgent and illuminating work about one of Silicon Valley’s most secretive and powerful companies, whose technology is at the leading edge of the surveillance state.
