Little, Brown & Company The Art of Invisibility
Book SynopsisLike it or not, your every move is being watched and analyzed. Consumer''s identities are being stolen, and a person''s every step is being tracked and stored. What once might have been dismissed as paranoia is now a hard truth, and privacy is a luxury few can afford or understand.In this explosive yet practical book, Kevin Mitnick illustrates what is happening without your knowledge--and he teaches you the art of invisibility. Mitnick is the world''s most famous--and formerly the Most Wanted--computer hacker. He has hacked into some of the country''s most powerful and seemingly impenetrable agencies and companies, and at one point he was on a three-year run from the FBI. Now, though, Mitnick is reformed and is widely regarded as the expert on the subject of computer security. He knows exactly how vulnerabilities can be exploited and just what to do to prevent that from happening. In THE ART OF INVISIBILITY Mitnick provides both online and real life tactics and inexpensive methods to protect you and your family, in easy step-by-step instructions. He even talks about more advanced elite techniques, which, if used properly, can maximize your privacy. Invisibility isn''t just for superheroes--privacy is a power you deserve and need in this modern age.

Taylor & Francis Inc Girls Feminist Blogging in a Postfeminist Age
Book SynopsisGirls' Feminist Blogging in a Postfeminist Age explores the practices of U.S.-based teenage girls who actively maintain feminist blogs and participate in the feminist blogosphere as readers, writers, and commenters on platforms including Blogspot, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. Drawing on interviews with bloggers between the ages of fifteen and twenty-one, as well as discursive textual analyses of feminist blogs and social networking postings authored by teenage girls, Keller addresses how these girls use blogging as a practice to articulate contemporary feminisms and craft their own identities as feminists and activists. In this sense, feminist girl bloggers defy hegemonic postfeminist and neoliberal girlhood subjectivities, a finding that Keller uses to complicate both academic and popular assertions that suggest teenage girls are uninterested in feminism. Instead, Keller maintains that these young bloggers employ digital media production to educate their peers aboTable of ContentsIntroduction: Transforming Feminist Conversations?

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Changing Things
Book SynopsisMany of the things we now live with do not take a purely physical form. Objects such as smart phones, laptops and wearable fitness trackers are different from our things of the past. These new digital forms are networked, dynamic and contextually configured. They can be changeable and unpredictable, even inscrutable when it comes to understanding what they actually do and whom they really serve.In Changing Things, Johan Redstrom and Heather Wiltse address critical questions that have assumed a fresh urgency in the context of these rapidly-developing forms. Drawing on critical traditions from a range of disciplines that have been used to understand the nature of things, they develop a new vocabulary and a theoretical approach that allows us to account for and address the multi-faceted, dynamic, constantly evolving forms and functions of contemporary things. In doing so, the book prototypes a new design discourse around everyday things, and describes them as ''fluid assemblages''.Trade ReviewReading Changing Things, you have the sense that until this book, we have been drifting when it comes to digital interaction design, inadequately translating how we make physical things to a realm with very different dynamics. Wiltse and Redstrom offer not just a guide for designers crafting coherent interactions in connected and flowing contexts, but the beginnings of an ontology of digitally-enabled or -located experiences. * Cameron Tonkinwise, Professor of Interdisciplinary Design at the University of Technology, Sydney *Things have never been stable. Yet, they have never been as fluid as they are today. By enriching our understanding of contemporary objects, Redström and Wiltse offer designers a new vocabulary to discuss how things exist and are expressed in a digital world. * Elisa Giaccardi, Professor and Chair of Interactive Media Design at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands *In Changing Things, Redström and Wiltse develop a critical, rich and compelling new theory of things that is essential for thinking, designing and living in a digital age. Their concept of fluid assemblages is a vital contribution for making sense of the networked and dynamic nature of designed digital things today as well as in the multiple possible futures that we may design. Most importantly, they invite us to join the conversation, paying close attention to the ways in which our shifting relations with things are as important as those we have with one another. * Laura Forlano, Associate Professor of Design at Illinois Institute of Technology, USA *Table of Contents1.
