Atlantic Books Tomorrows Versus Yesterdays: Conversations in
Book SynopsisThe current crisis of democracy, the growing economic inequality between rich and poor, our narcissistic social media culture and the looming menace of AI all threaten us as never before. The challenges presented by technology have long been central in these issues, but how can we take advantage of the opportunities it provides to shape a better twenty-first century? The most important division of our age is between the 'tomorrows', those who believe that the future can be better than the past, and the 'yesterdays' who harbor a nostalgic desire to return to a rose-tinted past. This division is encapsulated by how we answer a simple question: can we trust the future? In Tomorrows Versus Yesterdays, Andrew Keen discusses the issue with some of the most influential thinkers of our time. The book is split into four sections. The first identifies the challenges of our digital age. The second focuses on the failure of the internet revolution to realize its ambitious goals. The third untangles the complex relationship between populism and digital media, before the final part presents possible solutions to the challenges of our age. The result is an insightful examination of the most important issues facing us today, and essential reading for anyone interested in the impact of the digital revolution.Table of Contents1: Shoshana Zuboff 2: John Borthwick 3: Maria Ressa 4: Rana Foroohar 5: David Kirkpatrick 6: Douglas Rushkoff 7: Eli Pariser 8: Kenneth Cukier 9: Peter Sunde 10: Peter Pomerantsev 11: Ece Temelkuran 12: Catherine Fieschi 13: Ian Bremmer 14: Martin Wolf 15: Richard Stengel 16: Carl Benedikt Frey 17: Toomas Ilves 18: Scott Galloway

Parallax Press In Real Life: Searching for Connection in
Book SynopsisTechnology can help us with some of our most difficult work. It can also offer us endless distractions. Can technology help us, as individuals and communities, in our most important task, that of being a good person?Jon Mitchell sets out to identify and explore the ways in which we can develop a more thoughtful relationship with technology. Rather than only using our technological devices as a medium for connecting with the world, he recommends we rethink our relationship with technology, and see it as a resource that allows us to have a more intimate and personal relationship with ourselves and the world around us. Mitchell offers concrete practices for streamlining and improving the way we use technology in our daily lives.Writing in a relatable, conversational, easy-to-read style, Mitchell draws on his years of experience as a tech journalist and mindfulness practitioner to propose a rethinking of both the design of technology and its use.

Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Los 7 hábitos de la gente desinformada / 7 Habits of Misinformed People
Book SynopsisVivimos el espejismo de creer que, como hemos consultado internet, estamos lo suficientemente informados para tomar buenas decisiones. Sin embargo, esta idea es errónea. Este libro permite identificar los hábitos que nos hacen más vulnerables a la desinformación en el entorno digital y ofrece las herramientas para decidir por nosotros mismos tanto en el terreno personal como profesional.Estar bien informado significa contar con suficientes datos para, de entre todas las decisiones posibles, poder elegir una. Sin embargo, la experiencia nos demuestra que muchas decisiones tomadas con seguridad están lejos de sustentarse en los datos, circunstancia que explica que podamos parecer al mismo tiempo unos perfectos ignorantes y muy decididos.Internet y las redes sociales han llevado esta problemática hasta el extremo. Nunca antes habíamos tenido acceso a tanta información, aunque esto no implica que seamos capaces de escoger mejor. Los algoritmos del entorno digital (donde conviven webs, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter o WhatsApp) no siempre están programados para ayudarnos a elegir de forma adecuada.Tenemos la engañosa percepción de que estamos bien informados y, por ello, decidimos correctamente. No obstante, la desinformación nos afecta en nuestra vida personal y profesional. Soy víctima de este fenómeno? La respuesta, con toda probabilidad, sería afirmativa porque nos desinformamos con facilidad y de modos muy diversos.El objetivo de este libro es ayudar a identificar los hábitos que nos hacen más vulnerables: el cuñadismo, la incredulidad crédula, la indecisión crónica, la ansiedad, el confusionismo relacional, el activismo visceral y la precariedad informativa. Y, con sus herramientas prácticas para contrarrestar la desinformación, será de utilidad tanto para los expertos en redes sociales y profesionales de la gestión de cuentas en Twitter como para aquellas personas que solo visitan las páginas web de los periódicos de toda la vida.
