Sauer J: Mein richtiges Leben 2 Ex.

Mein richtiges Leben

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.

Alex Karp, Palantir, and the Rise of the Surveillance State

The Philosopher in the Valley

All around us are ever-evolving strings of chain reactions, of bonds forged and broken, of connections made and unmade in less than the blink of an eye. In Chain Reaction, Professor Ijeoma Uchegbu dives into the chemistry that underpins our everyday existence. With warmth and personal anecdotes about the chemistry that has shaped her life, Uchegbu takes us on a journey exploring how our bodies are held together by weak chemical bonds, how our constituent molecules start to break up once our heart stops beating, how our food is stitched together by a careful exploitation of chemical bonds at the interface between water and oil, and exactly what the fibres in our clothes are made of. To be human is to be a walking chemical reaction, as our individual cells are all powered by careful co-ordination of chemistry. From hairdressing disasters and laundry mishaps to life-saving medicines and kitchen experiments, this eye-opening book reveals that chemical processes are all around us, defining our interactions with the world we live in. This is a story that's both universal and personal, grand and intimate, and it will change the way you see everything.

Measuring Transportation Network Performance: Analysis and Practice provides a comprehensive guide on how to define and construct performance measures for transportation networks. Sections introduce the technical requirements necessary for establishing a successful transportation network performance measurement system, enabling transportation professionals to define, analyze, and interpret changes in the transportation network more effectively. Practical examples are used to highlight challenges encountered in network performance monitoring, and to point out common errors to enhance comprehension of the network. This book is specifically designed to aid professionals by presenting and explaining the most significant performance measures across various modes of transport. Readers from a range of backgrounds-from transportation planners and engineers in the industry sector, to people in transport departments and consultancies that provide professional services to the public sector-will find this a valuable resource for gaining the confidence to use transportation data to narrate stories about what has happened within the transport network, thus bridging the gap between data and storytelling for efficient problem solving.

Redefining the Diversity and Dynamism of Natural Resources Management in the Global South

'Work it harder, make it better, do it faster, makes us stronger', sang die französische Band Daft Punk 2001 und schuf damit im anbrechenden Jahrtausend die bis heute gültige Hymne für den Kapitalismus. Denn entgegen dem mit fortschreitender Automatisierung einhergegangenen Versprechen von Entlastung und mehr Freizeit werden Arbeitszeiten länger, Anforderungen höher, kommt es zu immer größerem Innovations- wie Produktionsdruck bei gleichzeitigem Anstieg von Burn-outs sowie stetigem Raubbau an Ressourcen. Doch was, wenn das noch längst nicht genug ist? Was, wenn wir im Grunde viel zu langsam sind und wir die Rasanz der kapitalistischen Produktion, statt ihr eine Absage zu erteilen, beschleunigen und bis zum Anschlag treiben sollten? Ließen sich so nicht, wie manche meinen, die Beschränkungen des Kapitals selbst überwinden? Benjamin Noys wagt sich in 
 Need for Speed
 mit Verve und Angriffslust in den reißenden Strom, der vom italienischen Futurismus über den Cyberpunk-Futurismus der 1990er- und 2000er-Jahre bis hin zu den Beschleunigungsfantasien im Anschluss an die Finanzkrise 2008 und den posthumanistisch befeuerten Geschwindigkeitsträumen der letzten Zeit führt, und lässt den Akzelerationismus schließlich als das zutage treten, was er ist: ein Symptom für das Elend und den Schmerz der Arbeit im Kapitalismus.

Tod und Tempo im Kapitalismus

Need for Speed

Schluss mit der Empörungslogik - wie wir unsere Demokratie verteidigen und Frustration in mutige Politik verwandelnDie Demokratie steht unter Druck - doch Rückzug ist für Rasha Nasr, die junge&nbsp;SPD-Bundestagsabgeordnete&nbsp;aus Dresden, keine Option. In ihrem Bericht aus dem Maschinenraum des parlamentarischen Alltags rechnet sie mit der Berliner&nbsp;Talkshow-Logik&nbsp;ab und fordert eine Rückkehr zur Substanz.Nasr macht deutlich, dass in der heutigen Politik zu oft darüber geredet wird, was brennt, während niemand darüber spricht, was trägt. Rechte Erzählungen gewinnen nicht, weil sie wahr sind, sondern weil sie so einfach sind. Statt sich hinter Sachzwängen zu verstecken, tritt die Autorin in ihrer leidenschaftlichen&nbsp;Streitschrift&nbsp;für klare Prioritäten und echte&nbsp;Verantwortung&nbsp;ein - fernab von Identitätsdebatten. Sie beweist, dass Demokratie keine Komfortzone ist, sondern den&nbsp;Mut&nbsp;erfordert, unperfekte Kompromisse mit&nbsp;Haltung&nbsp;zu vertreten und Konflikte ohne Feindschaft auszuhalten.'Verantwortung heißt bleiben' ist ein persönliches und kämpferisches Buch, das Wut konstruktiv in politischen Mut übersetzt. Ein starkes Plädoyer für Menschen, die Haltung zeigen wollen und sich für gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt, soziale Sicherheit und Freiheit einsetzen - und ein authentisches Vorbild dafür, unsere Demokratie aktiv zu verteidigen.

Vom Mut, sich einzumischen | Die politische Streitschrift der Bundestagsabgeordneten

Verantwortung heißt bleiben

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.

Prediction Markets and the Future of Democracy

An indispensable guide to dealing with disasters from one of today's foremost thinkers in crisis management, now updated with a new afterword "In a world marred by preventable miscalculation, Juliette Kayyem's The Devil Never Sleeps provides a playbook for making it out alive." -The New Yorker The future may be unpredictable, but nowadays, disasters are not. We live in a time of consistent catastrophe, where things more often go wrong than right. So why do we still fumble when crisis strikes? In The Devil Never Sleeps, Juliette Kayyem outlines a radical new way to prepare for disasters. Traditional principles of crisis management, focused on preventing disasters, are no longer viable. We need a forward-thinking approach that allows us to respond, recover, and build more resilience when crisis occurs. Drawing on her experience in national security and assessing real-life examples-from natural disasters like the California wildfires to human-made ones like airplane collisions-Kayyem identifies common lessons that can be implemented now to limit harm in the future. The Devil Never Sleeps is an essential guide for developing strategies that actually work in the face of perpetual catastrophe.

The Devil Never Sleeps

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

How Humans Tried, Failed, Succeeded, and Built Our World

Lost Worlds

We have always looked up at the sky and wondered.The desire to explore and understand what lies beyond us is at the heart of scientific discovery. Ever since the ancient Babylonians tracked celestial objects on clay tablets, the search for meaning in an infinitely vast universe has been a profoundly human pursuit.In this spellbinding book, Dr Sarah Alam Malik takes us on a journey through the discoveries that shaped our perception of the cosmos. From the Earth-centred worldview of Aristotle and the Copernican revolution to Isaac Newton unifying the terrestrial and celestial under the law of gravity. Each breakthrough is a testament to humanity's determination to peek behind the curtain of our world to examine what's underneath.Our ability to imagine and seek out a much grander and more mysterious reality drives us towards an incredible future. From the fiery deaths of faraway suns to the complexities of the subatomic, this is the story of what we've found and how they continue to change us.A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it)&nbsp;is a fascinating story of discovery and a beautiful celebration of our endless curiosity.

A Brief History of the Universe (and our place in it)

This book examines earthquake risk, disaster governance, and urban resilience through the case of Istanbul, a megacity facing significant seismic threats. This book offers an interdisciplinary analysis of public policy, disaster management, governance, migration, social vulnerability, and technological innovation, providing practical insights for earthquake preparedness and risk reduction in large urban centers.Organized into four thematic parts, the volume explores the role of public institutions, state responsibilities, multi-actor governance, gender-sensitive disaster policies, and the continuity of public services. It further examines local government initiatives, civil society engagement, public–civil partnerships, migration and displacement scenarios, vulnerable populations, and disaster response planning. The final section highlights innovation, digital technologies, urban mobility forecasting, and startup-driven solutions for earthquake prediction and risk management. By focusing on Istanbul as a model case, this book is an essential resource for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and students interested in disaster governance, earthquake preparedness, urban resilience, and sustainable cities.Fahri Özsungur
