Government Technology

Mit der gegenwärtigen technologischen Revolution ist der Traum einer umfassenden Möglichkeit der Steuerung der Gesellschaft wahr geworden. Kai Schlieter zeigt, wie Politik und Wirtschaft "Big Data" für ihre Zwecke einsetzt, wie wir alle manipuliert werden und warum sich dem niemand entziehen kann. Überall hinterlassen Menschen Datenspuren und werden von immer mehr Playern dazu angehalten, immer mehr Daten preiszugeben. Immer neuere Sensoren messen nahezu jede Lebensäußerung in Echtzeit.

Künstliche Intelligenz und Algorithmen erleichtern in Form von Navis, Rechtschreibprogrammen, Suchergänzungen oder Kaufempfehlungen schon lange unseren Alltag. Aber sie hinterlassen oft auch ein mulmiges Gefühl, weil wir nicht so recht verstehen, was da passiert. Katharina Zweig, IT-Expertin für Sozioinformatik und vielfach ausgezeichnete Informatikprofessorin, erklärt mit Witz und anhand einfacher Beispiele und Illustrationen, was Algorithmen eigentlich genau sind, wie sie funktionieren, welche völlig harmlos sind und welche uns tatsächlich Sorgen bereiten sollten.

Its vast infrastructure projects now extend from the ocean floor to outer space, and from Africa's megacities into rural America. China is wiring the world, and in doing so, rewriting the global order. As things stand, the rest of the world still has a choice. But the battle for tomorrow will require America and its allies to take daring risks in uncertain political terrain. Unchecked, China will reshape global flows of data to reflect its interests.

Patrick Dixon looks at how the future will be Fast, Urban, Tribal, Universal, Radical and Ethical - a future of boom and bust and great economic change as the emerging markets grow up; a future of great advances in medicine and also greater threats from viral epidemics; a future of political shocks and greater conflicts; a future in which people will strive for more privacy and businesses will change the way they relate to their staff and their customers.

In China's Next Act, Scott M. Moore re-envisions China's role in the world, with a focus on sustainability and technology. Moore argues that these increasingly pressing, shared global challenges are reshaping China's economy and foreign policy, and consequently, cannot be tackled without China.

This is the first biography in English of Nikolai Ivanovich Kibalchich, who was hanged as the explosives technician of the "People's Will" party of terrorists who assassinated Russian Tsar Alexander II with a thrown grenade on March 1, 1881.

In 50 Codes That Changed the World, Sinclair McKay explores these uncrackable codes, secret cyphers and hidden messages from across time to tell a new history of a secret world.

L'accelerazionismo è Legione: proprio come il demone biblico, esso è una miriade di forze contrastanti, uno spettro multiforme che aspetta di incarnarsi e gridare il proprio nome. Non è una via d'uscita dal capitalismo, né un'alternativa valida in cui sperare: è soprattutto una nuova e radicale modalità di vivere il presente e le sue infinite contraddizioni".

È la prima volta che i cambiamenti della società sfuggono completamente al controllo della politica. L'innovazione si sviluppa lontano dai Parlamenti, i nuovi protagonisti sono troppo potenti e globali per essere affrontati da piccoli Stati. Uber liberalizza il trasporto pubblico, Spotify regala musica invece di venderla, AirBnB vanifica i tentativi degli albergatori di fare cartello, Facebook e Google iniziano a comportarsi come Stati del web, gli utenti sono i loro cittadini. Oggi gli utili si fanno conquistando miliardi di consumatori a cui migliorare la vita.

The US Government over time has relinquished its oversight role of the internet. A global, multistakeholder community made up of many organizations shapes internet policy, operations, and security. But the ongoing and increasing reliance on the internet underscores the need to understand the risks to its underlying architecture.
