The Last Owners

How the Biggest Heist in History Was Designed So the Victims Would Never Notice

Contemporary World Issues

This book provides an accessible resource for understanding the world behind the advertising jingles and Super Bowl commercials and digital algorithms. Advertising has become a ubiquitous force in American life, penetrating almost every aspect of our daily routines. Additionally, as technology has evolved throughout American history, so too has advertising proliferated as media has become increasingly sophisticated and ever-present, whether it takes the form of algorithms governing your social media feed, television commercials, paid influencers, or stadiums branded with the names of corporate sponsors/owners. This authoritative one-stop resource provides a rich overview of the evolution and present state of advertising in all its forms, as well as the multitude of connected issues-data collection, privacy, consumerism, technology, and others-regarding advertising and its role as both a shaper and reflector of American culture. It surveys various advertising media, discusses the social and cultural contexts in which it is consumed, and highlights key moments in the history of advertising in the United States. In addition, the book is supplemented with carefully curated primary sources, personal essays, a glossary of advertising terms, and other resources to provide readers with a full picture of advertising as both an industry and a shaper of American culture.

Taking a global perspective to the computer age reveals how work, gender, and emotions have shaped its history. Since the 1960s, workplaces have been key sites for the introduction of computers, transforming organizations, future imaginaries, and perceptions of self and others. Yet, contrary to dominant narratives, this process was neither smooth nor universally welcomed. Workers and organizations responded in diverse ways, forming distinct emotional communities amid profound change. Across eight chapters, case studies from Europe, Asia, and Latin America offer new insights into the global computer age and invite reflection on our present relationship with technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and ongoing workplace transformations.

Workplaces are key sites where computers were first introduced, transforming organizations, senses of self, and visions of the future. In contrast to narratives today, this process was not always smooth or welcome. Workers and organizations responded in different ways to the changes, forming their own emotional communities and senses of connection in light of sweeping changes. The contributors to this volume explore the global history of the computer age from the perspectives of work, gender, and emotions. The eight case studies span Europe, Asia, and Latin America to shed light on the global computer age in the last few decades as well as trends we are witnessing today, such as artificial intelligence.

Despite decades of progress, modern womanhood feels more challenging than ever. Atlantic critic and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert reveals how today's misogyny emerged from another turbulent era: the late 90s and early 2000s. Spanning the past thirty years of pop culture - from Madonna to Taylor Swift, #GirlBoss to OnlyFans, Real Housewives to trad-wives - Girl on Girl shows how every form of media, heavily influenced by the rise of porn, has warped women's relationships with themselves and others. We cannot move forward without fully reckoning with the ways pop culture has defined us - this book shows us how. *** 'A captivating must-read' KATE MANNE 'I folded down every single page' PANDORA SYKES 'Vast, engaging and brilliant' Stylist 'A book that will make you think, and want to discuss' Glamour 'Add this book to the list of titles that urgently provide context and answers to the hell storm that is [vaguely waves around] everything going on right now' Harper's Bazaar READER REVIEWS 'I loved this book. It found me in a time I really needed it' 'If you are a living, breathing, human of any gender, this book is eye-opening and important. Just read it' 'The kind of book that will stay with you' 'An absolute powerhouse of a book'

Why the consequences of a prolonged period of weaker economic growth will be more profound than anyone dares to predictIn the heady progress of the post-war era, our lifestyles changed, our political systems adapted, and rapid economic growth became the model of every developed economy. But this prevailing consensus is falling apart around us. Growth is now, at best, no more than anaemic. Policymakers dream about an AI revolution and tweak their fiscal rules to accommodate a newly-austere economic reality but, all the while, government debt soars, financial markets become increasingly jittery, and voters lose trust in their politicians.Celebrated economist Stephen D. King asks how our politics will adapt to such persistently low growth. While leaders make fiscal promises based on a future that is unlikely to materialise, nationalism thrives, battlelines are drawn between perceived winners and losers, and the rules-based international order crumbles. The absence of growth triggers invidious political wrangling over tax, welfare, defence and infrastructure, intensifies competition for resources, and leads to social instability.King shows how our new world is governed by them-and-us divisions over limited economic spoils. This is the political economy of plunder.&nbsp;

Was passiert, wenn hochqualifizierte Menschen zwischen geographisch und kulturell nahen Nachbarländern migrieren?&nbsp;Natascha Bregy&nbsp;beleuchtet systematisch die komplexen Erfahrungen deutscher und schweizerischer Migrant*innen und deckt dabei überraschende Hürden auf. So stoßen Deutsche auf Germanophobie und Identitätsdiskurse, während Schweizer*innen als privilegierte Migrant*innen gelten. Die Analyse zeigt, welch große Auswirkungen minimale kulturelle Unterschiede haben können, und erweitert unser Verständnis von 'unproblematischer' EU-Migration - ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Migrationsdebatte, der deutlich macht, dass auch bei scheinbar simpler Migration komplexe Dynamiken von Zugehörigkeit, Integration und Identität entstehen.

A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2025 &amp; NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 An incredible deep dive into how algorithms, social media and the internet are changing the way we communicate and think, from linguist and content creator Adam Aleksic (aka the @etymologynerd) 'No cap - this bruh slaps and slays.' - ADAM GRANT, author of Think Again Are we cooked?

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.
