A Coding Odyssey

A New York Times and Sunday Times Bestseller Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award 2025 Longlisted for the 2025 Financial Times &amp; Schroders Business Book of the Year Shortlisted for Foyles Non Fiction Book of the Year 2025 An eye-opening account of the tech arms race shaping out planet, from an award-winning journalist and AI insider to the world of Sam Altman and OpenAI When longtime AI expert and journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, it was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely market forces. But the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that it requires an unprecedented amount of proprietary resources: the 'compute' power of scarce high-end chips, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans on the ground 'cleaning it up' for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the need for energy and water underlying everything. We have entered a new, ominous age of empire with OpenAI setting a breakneck pace, as a small group of the most valuable companies in human history try to chase it down. In exhilarating prose and with unparalleled access to those closest to Sam Altman, Hao recounts the meteoric rise of OpenAI and shows us the sinister impact that this industry is having on society.

Inside the reckless race for total domination

Empire of AI

This innovative textbook edited by international experts in technology law and policy provides a comprehensive and accessible guide into the fast-evolving landscape of technology law and policy in the UK and the EU. The recent wave of regulatory reforms adopted by UK and EU regulators increases the complexity of Internet law as it had developed in the past decades. Recognising the ever-growing importance of artificial intelligence in today's public discourse, the textbook extends beyond traditional legal sectoral frameworks, and explores the intersection of law, technology, and public policy to describe and critically reflect on current and emerging issues in the modern information society. This exploration follows thematic areas of interest, such as adtech, privacy by design, predictive policing, and social media, while also providing accessible historical overviews of how policy has developed in specific fields including platform liability, copyright, or data protection, and case studies on key topics. The companion website provides multimedia resources to delve deeper into specific topics; introductory materials for readers that are unfamiliar with the EU legal system; and teaching resources. Law, Policy, and the Internet is an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of internet regulation in an era of exponential technological change.

Law, Policy and the Internet

From the author of&nbsp;A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at the world of cryptocurrencies, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a multi-trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are alienated by an economic system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Enter&nbsp;Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she exposes the dangerous consequences of crypto's rise and offers alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually be.

The New Financial Dystopia

Crypto-Capitalism

Zunächst sieht alles nach Vergnügen aus: Man ölt die Bärte und trägt bauchfrei, Großstädter zelebrieren den 'Bionade-Biedermeier', via Facebook werden weltweite soziale Netzwerke geknüpft. In den Nullerjahren lebt der Mensch des Westens die maximale Selbstbestimmung, sorglos, befriedet. Doch die Feier der Freiheit zeigt bald ihre Schattenseiten. TV-Formate wie 'Big Brother' bejubeln den gläsernen Menschen; das Ich wird zur Performance. Aus dem Silicon Valley heraus entwickelt sich eine neue Kultur des entgrenzten Konsums und der Monopolbildung; Peter Thiel und Elon Musk beginnen ihre Karrieren, Donald Trump steigt auf. Die offene Gesellschaft gerät unter Druck: 2001 beginnt der War on Terror, 2008 bricht die Weltwirtschaft ein und lässt die globale Ordnung erbeben.&nbsp; 
Jens Balzer nimmt uns mit auf einen flirrenden Erkundungsgang durch Popkultur und Politik, der zugleich die Entstehungsgeschichte unserer Zeit erzählt. Er zeigt: Die Nuller sind ein Jahrzehnt der euphorischen Umarmung neuer Möglichkeiten, des Individualismus und der technologisch entgrenzten Freiheit - und der großen Enttäuschungen, die bis in unsere Gegenwart reichen.

Confusion Is Next

A provocative look at America's compulsion to consume and our obsession's surprising--and strange--origins. In a capitalist society, people sell their labor to purchase staples like food, shelter, and anxiety medication. That's the equation of everyday economic life that we've always been told is true. Except, is it really that simple anymore? No matter how unmaterialistic you may think you are, odds are that deep within is a drive to consume because it feels good: books you won't read, clothes you won't like and might wear even less, a replacement phone whose novelty runs out as quickly as its upgrade hits the market. But what drives this impulse? In Growth Machines, Mark Joseph Stelzner shows how today's consumers are now programmed by a US economy intent on infinite growth to work for goods they've been convinced they need and conditioned to want. Stelzner establishes the gaps between economic thinking and economic reality, arguing that consumption is no longer just a reflection of needs, but rather, it reflects a need for transaction--in many cases, a treat we seek out because it feels good. We work not only to be able to consume the essentials for living, but also to consume for consumption's sake. Yet such consumption doesn't make us happier. Stelzner traces this strange nature of consumption to an environmental source: an economy that demands growth. To keep its economy pumping, the US must keep Americans consuming. This makes Stelzner's book an uncomfortable reflection on how we internalize our economy. To be an American is to consume; to consume is what makes America.

On the Hollow Joys of Consumption in the Desert of Economic Life

Growth Machines

A dazzling exploration of the phenomenon of prediction betting markets that asks: what happens when democracy becomes another commodity? For many, Donald Trump's decisive election victory over Kamala Harris in 2024 was a shock. Traditional polls had the race on a razor's edge. But, for those with eyes on prediction betting markets, a very different story was being told. In recent years, prediction markets have swept the world, fundamentally changing the nature of the gambling market, and making their youthful pioneers billionaires. Posed as binary 'Yes/No' questions about future events, prediction bets allow any difference of opinion - whether on politics, wars, assassinations or popular culture - to be financialised. But are these markets really a new phenomenon? What does it mean when markets get closer to the truth than the institutions we built to protect us? And what happens when those tasked with safeguarding democracy possess financial stakes in its volatility? From Renaissance Rome, where merchants wagered on papal conclaves, through London coffee house gossip during the Napoleonic Wars, to the Pentagon's ill-fated terrorism futures exchange, The Big Bet describes the full five-hundred-year arc of a permissive regime which no one designed and no one voted for. Drawing on deep expertise, Michael Auerbach examines how these markets are changing our world, and what they mean for the future of our democratic self-governance. Because they are not an anomaly - they are the logical endpoint of a society that has applied market capitalism to every aspect of life. And in a world when everything is a wager and nothing is off limits, knowing where the chips will fall matters more than ever.

El desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías ha supuesto un avance indiscutible para la labor lexicográfica. Esta ha pasado de aplicar la informática de forma superficial a integrarla de manera nuclear en su quehacer cotidiano, lo que ha dado lugar a una estructura diccionarística multisecuencial, así como a la incorporación de la navegación hipertextual, los contenidos multimedia y los sistemas avanzados de búsqueda.
Esta monografía analiza la evolución de la obra diccionarística a la luz de estos cambios tecnológicos, que no solo han transformado su concepción tradicional, sino también los procesos de elaboración y organización. Con este propósito, se ha realizado una comparación entre la estructura de los diccionarios impresos y la de los repertorios digitales, prestando especial atención a los diccionarios digitales en línea. Se examinan aspectos como su distribución, las secciones que los integran, los datos que presentan y sus formas de representación gráfica.
A partir de este análisis, se presentan una serie de reflexiones que trascienden las modificaciones meramente formales, apuntando hacia una reconfiguración más profunda de la obra lexicográfica. En este nuevo paradigma, no solo se redefinen conceptos fundamentales, sino que también se introducen nuevas nociones, con el objetivo de dar cuenta de los profundos cambios que implica el paso del soporte impreso al entorno digital.

Digitale Bildkulturen

In der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts gehörten Avatare noch, wie in Théophile Gautiers gleichnamiger Erzählung, dem Reich des Fantastischen an. In der Cyberpunk-Literatur der 1980er und 1990er Jahre werden sie zu Leitfiguren der Medien- und Kulturkritik. Schließlich verwandeln sich Avatare zu omnipräsenten Gestalten unserer medialen Gegenwart: in ¿Second Life¿ oder ¿World of Warcraft¿ und anderen Computerspielen, bei digitalen Serviceplattformen von Banken oder in Mark Zuckerbergs Metaverse. Und sind sie nicht ohnehin vor allem Lockfiguren, die uns ins Reich des digitalen Kapitalismus hineinziehen wollen?
Bernd Stiegler rekonstruiert die Geschichte dieser besonderen Medienfigur.
