The World's Greatest Conspiracy Theories

100 Things They Don't Want You To Know

A thrilling history of how we fell in and out of love with a technology that changed not just the world, but changed us. 'Science and technology never seem more exciting than when James Gleick is writing about them' - Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction 'Forces you to see the world with new eyes. Blending expertise with a thrilling narrative . . . I loved it!' - Alice Loxton, author of Eighteen and Eleanor 'Masterful. I learned so much and enjoyed every page of this richly researched, playful, and insightful book' - Tiffany Jenkins, author of Strangers and Intimates A supernatural instrument bringing voices from afar, the telephone burst onto the world stage 150 years ago, a triumphant story of individual ingenuity and vision. Instantly, the ability to speak across vast distances began to transform every part of life: from business organization to military tactics, from news gathering to sex work. But the story of The Telephone is also one of corrupt scheming and ruthless tactics; the race to the patent office, to make money, a contest replete with bribery, fraud and speculation. And no one, not even its inventors, realised what the telephone was good for or how ubiquitous it would become. As the telephone settled into the background - in offices and on streets, on bedside tables and kitchen walls - people forgot how they ever lived without it. Now, as landlines, telephone books and telephone boxes vanish into the past, science writer James Gleick - bestselling author of Chaos - shows how this commonplace object irreversibly changed not only the world but who we are as human beings. 'Charts our distance-compressing, time-shifting telephonic adventure with exceptional brio and subtlety' - Stacy Schiff, author of The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams

A New History

The Telephone

The evolution of video games from a niche pursuit to the world’s largest entertainment medium, with billions of players and billions of dollars at stake, has made it a perfect place for states and non-state actors to advance their goals online. In Power Play, leading games industry expert George E. Osborn explores the burgeoning foreign and domestic movements to spread influence through video games, showing that our failure to date to take games seriously has led to a culture of complacency around their true impact and importance on the geopolitical stage. More than a simple form of entertainment, video games are an ecosystem that connects billions of people across the globe. Video games create spaces where people talk, share ideas, and build identities that bleed into our reality. And whilst democracies have underestimated the potential for influence in this space, others have seized the opportunity. This is why Russia has been funding the development of video games designed to promote their world view. It's why Saudi Arabia has acquired one of gaming's biggest publishers, EA, to help wash its reputation. It's why Steve Bannon utilized tactics learned from online game communities to propel Donald Trump to the White House. And it's why Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin carved video game references into his bullets. Supported by the insights of dozens of politicians, academics, and industry experts, Power Play is the vital guide to understanding this new frontier for political influence, and what democracies must do to protect play and harness its immense power before this essential battle for digital influence is lost for good.

Im Vordergrund dieses Buches stehen die Analyse und die Bewertung klinischer Studien mit dem Ziel, den Nutzen medizinischer Maßnahmen zu definieren und die Ergebnisse der Nutzen-Analysen auf die Kosten abzubilden. Das Buch beginnt mit Kapiteln über die Methoden von Kosten-Nutzen-Analysen und Verfahren der Evidenz-basierten Medizin. Der Darstellung von biometrischen Methoden und Bewertungskriterien folgt die Präsentation zahlreicher klinischer Studien vorwiegend unter Einbeziehung von Kosten-Nutzen-Analysen. Klausur-und Übungsaufgaben werden in den Text integriert. Kosten-Nutzen-Analysen stellen in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften eine entscheidende Bewertungsgrundlage dar. Dies gilt auch für die Gesundheitsökonomie und die Bewertung medizinischer Maßnahmen. Während die Kosten medizinischer Interventionen relativ einfach zu ermitteln sind, stößt die realistische Einschätzung des medizinischen Nutzens oft auf erhebliche Schwierigkeiten.

In 1945, W. Averell Harriman, US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, was presented with a carved wooden plaque of the Great Seal of the United States as a 'gesture of friendship' by a delegation from the Soviet's Young Pioneer Organization. Unbeknownst to him, one of the first covert listening devices, invented by Leon Theremin was hidden within it and was subsequently used to listen in on the ambassador's conversations for six years before being discovered. This book uses remarkable tales like this to tell the story of how modern audio surveillance developed and its important role in the evolution of today's artificial intelligence. Beginning with post-WW2 monitoring devices, Listening In traces an arc through the Cold War era into the present day in which state and commercial spyware can record our calls, copy messages and secretly film us. It subsequently moves into the near future where AI-assisted technologies can listen to things we have not yet said as well as digitally simulate and record our voices after we have died. Exploring how mass audio surveillance is carried out through devices such as smart phones, speakers and baby monitors and used to inform and train AI algorithms, the book provides fresh insights into how we are allowing our personal privacies to be traded for enhanced social connectivity and technological convenience. Ultimately Listening In reveals how the urge to listen and record everything that has ever been uttered is scored deeply into the technological operating systems of cultures from around the world. Listening In is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.

How Audio Surveillance Became Artificial Intelligence

Listening In

People with mental illnesses in the United States are 10 times more likely to be incarcerated than hospitalized. In fact, seventy percent of individuals in jail in the United States have a serious mental illness, a substance use disorder, or both. After confronting the failures of our criminal justice system first-hand, Miami-Dade County (Florida) Judge Steven Leifman realized that for the system to improve, a radical change was necessary. In 2000, he created Florida’s 11th Judicial Circuit Criminal Mental Health Project, later renamed to the Jail Diversion Project (JDP), which has since become the most impactful model for prison reform in the country and garnered international accolades. Complete Justice reveals Judge Leifman’s courageous and visionary efforts to successfully overhaul and restructure Miami-Dade’s mental health and criminal justice systems. The results were nothing short of miraculous. Arrests were cut in half, the jail audit was reduced by almost half, police shootings almost stopped, and the county was able to close one of its three main jails at a savings of millions of dollars. Best of all, his results are replicable and scalable. Leifman has created a state-of-the-art, transferable model, the “Miami Model,” that is starting to be applied around the country in communities large and small. This highly successful initiative, consisting of both pre-arrest and post-arrest diversion programs, brings together the resources and services of law enforcement, the justice system, and community stakeholders to divert individuals with mental illnesses who commit low-level offenses away from incarceration and into community-based care. Starting with a trip to a psychiatric wing of a Florida jail at age 17, through his early missteps as a young judge bumping up against convoluted the mental health legislature, the formation of the JDP and monumental report on Florida’s mental health system, and finally spotlighting courts across the country adopting his program, Leifman’s inspiring work offers kindness, insight, and real solutions to one of America’s most complex social problems.

Diversity Studies schärfen den Blick für interdependente Differenzen wie Gender, Race, Class und weitere Identitätskategorien. Sprache, Literatur und Medien haben einen bisher kaum beachteten Anteil an der Produktion, aber auch der kritischen Reflexion sozio-kultureller Vielfalt. Die Beiträger*innen sensibilisieren für deren Wahrnehmung, indem sie einen Diskussionsrahmen abstecken, der Voraussetzungen, Dynamik und Effekte von Diversität analytisch miteinander in Beziehung setzt. Neben einer systematischen Einführung eröffnen sie außerdem theoretische und methodologische Zugänge zu exemplarischen Forschungsfragen - von historischen Themen bis hin zur aktuellen Vermittlungspraxis.

Technology is conventionally viewed as dehumanizing. Yet, as this concise book shows, it has become uniquely emotional, continuously tapping into and eliciting a great variety of emotions. From emojis, GIFs, likes, influencers, meditation apps and virtual worlds, technology increasingly mimics and extends emotional life, turning feelings into quantifiable data and yielding extraordinary profits. Techno-capitalism, Eva Illouz argues, no longer mines the soil by extracts value from the self and subjectivity, transforming emotional energy into capital. This machinic intimacy between humans and technology integrates economy, culture and psychology into one single matrix, making emotions into the new economic pipelines of techno-capitalism. These claims are backed by economic data that reveal the extraordinary profitability of emotions. The emotionalism of technology has profound effects: the loss of experience, loneliness crowded with vicarious interactions and leisure, and the replacement of reality by the performance of authenticity. Through a variety of examples - social media, gaming, and TV series like Black Mirror - Illouz explores the mechanisms through which the emotional self has become the main economic resource of capitalism, a world where out feelings pass through machines and are manufactured, measured and sold by them.
