El Bitcoin y el amor

Alle sprechen über die negativen Seiten des Internets - depressive Jugend, zersetzte Gehirne, aufziehender Faschismus - aber niemand zieht eine Konsequenz über die eigene Nische hinaus. Es scheint, als wäre alles schlecht, nur das Ganze nicht.
Doch das Internet ist keine neutrale Infrastruktur; es verstärkt bestehende Probleme und schafft neue. In ihm konstituieren sich Beziehungen, Arbeit, Liebe, Freizeit, Selbstverwirklichung und Politik und verschmelzen zu einem ununterscheidbaren Brei. Zugleich ist es ein Ort der Vermessung, Ordnung, Kontrolle und Überwachung.
Madani Mebarek und Paul Schierle zeigen: Die Erscheinungen an der Oberfläche sind Symptome tieferliegender Probleme, die negativen Konsequenzen entstehen aus seiner Struktur. Sie machen deutlich, warum die Abschaltung des Internets unsere beste Chance auf eine befreite Gesellschaft ist. Nicht alles ist schlecht - das Ganze aber doch!

'I've read no better novel in years' Samantha Harvey 'A transporting piece of 1970s gothic with a viscous sensory pull' The Times 'Evocative, resonant, and quite simply, brilliant' Claire Fuller 'Like the building of a thunderstorm through a sultry day . the novel's engines thrum from the first page' Sarah Moss, Guardian 'Disturbing and heartbreaking in equal measure' Hari Kunzru 'To view the world through the lens of Frank Dart is a moving and captivating experience' Irish Times A powerfully evocative and tenderly realised debut novel about family secrets, the power of imagination - and coming of age in the dying dreams of the 1970s 1976. Nine-year-old Frank Dart dreams of his absent dad, away at sea; while making sure his mum's got all the cigarettes she needs for the long drive in their battered Citroën down to their new home in North Devon. Here in Aunt Perry's house, Frank and his little sister Odette must make sense of their cousins' hostility - while their mum seems to drift further and further away. The house is haunted by secrets, past and present; and as spring turns to a suffocatingly hot summer, the past threatens to boil over and scald everything in its wake. Trouble Was is a raw and tender story of growing up too soon, betrayal and resilience, love and survival - and a dazzling exploration of toxic family politics, buried secrets and the power of the imagination.

Trouble Was

The Untold Story of Steve Jobs's Wilderness Years—and the Creation of a Legend In 1985, Steve Jobs—the brilliant, volatile founder of Apple Computer—walked out of his company's headquarters, fired from the very corporation he had created. What happened next would transform not only his life and career, but the future of technology itself. For twelve years, from 1985 to 1997, Jobs wandered the business wilderness with his new venture, NeXT. It was a period of spectacular failures, near-bankruptcy, and brutal humiliation. But out of this crucible of defeat emerged the visionary leader who would go on to create the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, transforming Apple into the most valuable company on earth. Drawing on previously unpublished materials and new interviews with the key players, Geoffrey Cain reveals the untold story of Steve Jobs's "lost decade"—the formative years that shaped the icon we thought we knew. With unprecedented access to unbroadcast footage of Jobs in NeXT meetings, private company documents, and interviews with his closest colleagues, Cain offers the definitive account of how failure transformed a brash wunderkind into a true business genius. This is the story of how Steve Jobs learned to lead, how he discovered the power of focus, and how a spectacular failure became the foundation for one of the greatest comebacks in business history. It is nothing less than the missing piece in the legend of Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs in Exile

Vietnam – Politics and Economics

This volume addresses the diverse problems associated with the geopolitical concept of an Indo-Pacific region. The first part discusses key theoretical approaches, the second part deals with the involvement of major powers from within and outside the region (the United States, China, the EU, Russia, India), and the third part presents the perspective of countries that can be classified as Indo-Pacific in the narrower geographical sense. Overall, the volume argues that the era of bi- or even unipolar world orders that shaped international politics from 1945 to 2001 has now definitively come to an end. The international system is aligning itself with a new kind of complexity-most notably in what is probably the most important region of the world today: the Indo-Pacific.

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.

Wie sieht das Darknet aus, das für viele Menschen so beängstigend Wie anziehend ist? Ist es gut, böse Oder irgendetwas dazwischen? Und lohnt sich ein Besuch? 
 
 Der Journalist Stefan Mey hat sich in die Tiefen des Darknets begeben. Schnell wurde ihm klar, Wie viele der kursierenden Informationen Mythen sind und wie wenig an wirklichem Wissen existiert. Es hat ihn gereizt, diesem schwer zu erkundenden Ort seine Geheimnisse zu entlocken. Mey hat sich in monatelangen Recherchen ein eigenes Bild gemacht, Dutzende wissenschaftlicher Darknet-Studien nach verwertbaren Ergebnissen durchforstet und über abhörsichere Kanäle das Gespräch mit Leuten 'da draußen' gesucht.

How data surveillance, digital forensics, and generative AI pose new long-term threats and opportunities—and how we can use them to make better decisions in the face of technological uncertainty. In The Secret Life of Data, Aram Sinnreich and Jesse Gilbert explore the many unpredictable, and often surprising, ways in which data surveillance, AI, and the constant presence of algorithms impact our culture and society in the age of global networks. The authors build on this basic premise: no matter what form data takes, and what purpose we think it's being used for, data will always have a secret life. How this data will be used, by other people in other times and places, has profound implications for every aspect of our lives—from our intimate relationships to our professional lives to our political systems. With the secret uses of data in mind, Sinnreich and Gilbert interview dozens of experts to explore a broad range of scenarios and contexts—from the playful to the profound to the problematic. Unlike most books about data and society that focus on the short-term effects of our immense data usage, The Secret Life of Data focuses primarily on the long-term consequences of humanity's recent rush toward digitizing, storing, and analyzing every piece of data about ourselves and the world we live in. The authors advocate for “slow fixes” regarding our relationship to data, such as creating new laws and regulations, ethics and aesthetics, and models of production for our datafied society. Cutting through the hype and hopelessness that so often inform discussions of data and society, The Secret Life of Data clearly and straightforwardly demonstrates how readers can play an active part in shaping how digital technology influences their lives and the world at large.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From linguist Adam Aleksic, known as @etymologynerd on social media, comes a captivating exploration of how internet algorithms are transforming language and communication in unprecedented ways. “Packed with fascinating facts, of-the-moment observations, and a sparkling voice, Algospeak is a gift to any word nerd. Deftly covering everything from emoji etymologies and trendbait to Taylor Swift fanilects... Adam Aleksic is the wise, yet accessible internet linguistics oracle we need.”—Amanda Montell, author of The Age of Magical Overthinking and Cultish From “brainrot” memes and incel slang to the trend of adding&nbsp;&nbsp;“-core” to different influencer aesthetics, the internet has ushered in an unprecedented linguistic upheaval. We’re entering an entirely new era of etymology, heralded by the invisible forces driving social media algorithms. Thankfully, Algospeak is here to explain. As a professional linguist, Adam Aleksic understands the gravity of language and the way we use it: he knows the ways it has morphed and changed, how it reflects society, and how, in its everyday usage, we carry centuries of human history on our tongues. As a social media influencer, Aleksic is also intimately familiar with the internet’s reach and how social media impacts the way we engage with one another. New slang emerges and goes viral overnight. Accents are shaped or erased on YouTube. Grammatical rules, loopholes, and patterns surface and transform language as we know it.&nbsp;Our interactions, social norms, and habits—both online and in person—shift into something completely different. As Aleksic uses original surveys, data, and internet archival research to usher us through this new linguistic landscape, he also illuminates how communication is changing in both familiar and unexpected ways. From our use of emojis to sentence structure to the ways younger generations talk about sex and death (see unalive in English and desvivirse in Spanish), we are in a brand-new world, one shaped by algorithms and technology. Algospeak is an energetic, astonishing journey into language, the internet, and what this intersection means for all of us.

Named a best book of the year by Kirkus ReviewsNamed a Notable Book of 2025 by the Washington PostA personal and cultural exploration of the struggles between art and business at the heart of modern Hollywood, through the eyes of the talent that shaped itMatthew Specktor grew up in the film industry: the son of legendary CAA superagent Fred Specktor, his childhood was one where Beau Bridges came over for dinner, Martin Sheen’s daughter was his close friend, and Marlon Brando left long messages on the family answering machine. He would eventually spend time working in Hollywood himself, first as a reluctant studio executive and later as a screenwriter.Now, with The Golden Hour, Specktor blends memoir, cultural criticism, and narrative history to tell the story of the modern motion picture industry—illuminating the conflict between art and business that has played out over the last seventy-five years in Hollywood. Braiding his own story with that of his father, mother (a talented screenwriter whose career was cut short), and figures ranging from Jack Nicholson to CAA’s Michael Ovitz, Specktor reveals how Hollywood became a laboratory for the eternal struggle between art, labor, and capital.Beginning with the rise of Music Corporation of America in the 1950s, The Golden Hour lays out a series of clashes between fathers and sons, talent agents and studio heads, artists, activists, unions, and corporations. With vivid prose and immersive scenes, Specktor shows how Hollywood grew from the epicenter of American cultural life to a full-fledged multinational concern—and what this shift has meant for the nation’s place in the world. At once a book about the movie business and an intimate family drama, The Golden Hour is a sweeping portrait of the American Century.
