Privacidad es poder

Autor: Carissa Véliz

Número de Páginas: 341

Seleccionado por The Economist como uno de los libros del año. La guía definitiva para afrontar uno de los problemas más acuciantes de nuestro tiempo: la pérdida de la privacidad. Nos vigilan. Saben que estás leyendo estas palabras. Gobiernos y cientos de empresas nos espían: a ti y a todos tus conocidos. A todas horas, todos los días. Rastrean y registran todo lo que pueden: nuestra ubicación, nuestras comunicaciones, nuestras búsquedas en internet, nuestra información biométrica, nuestras relaciones sociales, nuestras compras, nuestros problemas médicos y mucho más. Quieren saber quiénes somos, qué pensamos, dónde nos duele. Quieren predecir nuestro comportamiento e influir en él. Tienen demasiado poder. Su poder proviene de nosotros, de ti, de tus datos. Recuperar la privacidad es la única manera de que podamos asumir de nuevo el mando de nuestras vidas y de nuestras sociedades. La privacidad es tan colectiva como personal, y es hora de retomar el control. Privacidad es poder es el primer libro que propone el fin de la economía de los datos. Carissa Véliz explica cómo nuestros datos personales están cediendo demasiado poder a las grandes empresas...

Guerra Fría 2.0

Autor: Mariano Aguirre

Número de Páginas: 178

Guerra Fría 2.0 presenta las complejas y peligrosas tensiones en el mundo actual, especialmente entre grandes potencias, y entre países emergentes, en el contexto de una crisis climática global, amenazas a la democracia, y profunda desigualdad. Partiendo de la guerra de Ucrania, la pugna de Estados Unidos con China, la competencia sobre chips esenciales para la tecnología avanzada, o el papel de India y Turquía para modificar el balance de poder en el sistema internacional, el libro establece las diferencias con la Guerra Fría anterior, describe continuidades e identifica tendencias. Mariano Aguirre aborda las diferencias entre la primera y la actual Guerra Fría; las características y tendencias de las grandes potencias con armas nucleares (Estados Unidos, China y Rusia) y de la Unión Europea, y sus relaciones; la situación de los países del Sur, tanto de los estados afectados por guerras, represión y el cambio climático, cómo los poderes regionales intermedios (algunos con armas nucleares); la crisis de la democracia y del multilateralismo, el ascenso del populismo nacionalista autoritario, y la desigualdad. Asimismo, el libro contiene una crítica a la concepción...

The Mind Club

Autor: Daniel M. Wegner , Kurt Gray

Número de Páginas: 402

“Compelling, and so beautifully written…’The Mind Club’ deftly brings the most up-to-date research about other minds to readers of all backgrounds. It may cause you to think differently about crime and punishment, about business transactions and health care, and even about the upcoming elections. Things might just start looking up.”–The Wall Street Journal From dogs to gods, the science of understanding mysterious minds—including your own. Nothing seems more real than the minds of other people. When you consider what your boss is thinking or whether your spouse is happy, you are admitting them into the "mind club." It’s easy to assume other humans can think and feel, but what about a cow, a computer, a corporation? What kinds of mind do they have? Daniel M. Wegner and Kurt Gray are award-winning psychologists who have discovered that minds—while incredibly important—are a matter of perception. Their research opens a trove of new findings, with insights into human behavior that are fascinating, frightening and funny. The Mind Club explains why we love some animals and eat others, why people debate the existence of God so intensely, how good people can be so...

Il mercato del consenso

Autor: Christopher Wylie

Número de Páginas: 284

«Un testo libero e sfrontato. Dopo aver letto il memoir di Wylie, resta la sensazione di aver imparato qualcosa.» The New York Times «Intelligente, divertente, profondo, intellettualmente affamato.» Corriere della Sera Il 17 marzo 2018, il Guardian, il New York Times e Channel 4 News hanno pubblicato i risultati di un’indagine durata un anno, nata dalla mia decisione di svelare quanto stava accadendo dentro a Cambridge Analytica e Facebook. Le mie rivelazioni hanno dato inizio alla più grande indagine giudiziaria della storia incentrata sulla raccolta e l’utilizzo di dati online. «Cos’è Cambridge Analytica?» mi chiese la giornalista del Guardian. «È lo strumento psicologico di Steve Bannon per fottere il cervello della gente» le dissi senza mezzi termini. Inizia così l’inchiesta destinata a scoperchiare il più grande scandalo del nuovo millennio e a rivelare al mondo la scioccante vulnerabilità delle nostre democrazie. L’idea di base era semplice: rivoluzionare il marketing politico con una specie di porta a porta digitale. Steve Bannon, cofondatore di Cambridge Analytica e stratega di Trump, ha capito da tempo che i mondi virtuali di internet sono molto...

Ulysses: Episodes 12 through 15

Autor: James Joyce

Número de Páginas: 728

A modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and then published in its entirety in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement. According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel is highly allusive and also imitates the styles of different periods of English...
