Verso Books New Dark Age: Technology and the End of the
Book SynopsisWe live in times of increasing inscrutability. Our news feeds are filled with unverified, unverifiable speculation, much of it automatically generated by anonymous software. As a result, we no longer understand what is happening around us. Underlying all of these trends is a single idea: the belief that quantitative data can provide a coherent model of the world, and the efficacy of computable information to provide us with ways of acting within it. Yet the sheer volume of information available to us today reveals less than we hope. Rather, it heralds a new Dark Age: a world of ever-increasing incomprehension.In his brilliant new work, leading artist and writer James Bridle offers us a warning against the future in which the contemporary promise of a new technologically assisted Enlightenment may just deliver its opposite: an age of complex uncertainty, predictive algorithms, surveillance, and the hollowing out of empathy. Surveying the history of art, technology and information systems he reveals the dark clouds that gather over discussions of the digital sublime.Trade ReviewNEW DARK AGE is a masterful study of all the things approaching out of the future's night. Compelling and essential. -- Warren Ellis, author of NORMAL and TRANSMETROPOLITANComputation brings humanity more darkness than enlightenment: a goblin horde of digital superstitions, invented and unleashed in just half a century. Yet James Bridle is fearless in our gloomy post-truth predicament; he's a theorist, artist, technical visionary and even a moralist. Has he foreseen the worst? -- Bruce Sterling, author of Pirate UtopiaHighlights the ways in which we are deliberately being kept in the dark and are sleepwalking into a future of non-stop surveillance and 'the dark clouds [gathering] over our dreams of the digital sublime. * Financial Times [Summer Reads 2018] *An extraordinary, perceptive analysis of the various ways in which the rise of information technology has obscured, rather than illuminated, the operations of power in the world, and diminished our capacity to improve it. It's brilliant and bracing -- Mark O'Connell * Guardian *New Dark Age is among the most unsettling and illuminating books I've read about the Internet, which is to say that it is among the most unsettling and illuminating books I've read about contemporary life. -- Mark O'Connell * New Yorker *[New Dark Age] is an essential read on the key subjects around AI, and the dangerous feedback loops that are currently being produced. -- Ben Vickers * Dazed *New Dark Age is enlightening but frightening, a dystopian warning about the implications of the convergence of data and robotics, code and quantum computing, science and technology. -- David Gorin * Financial Mail *Brilliant and beautiful. * The Australian *New Dark Age is a paradoxical work, elegiac yet futuristic, which embraces paradox and the limits of knowledge-especially the limits of knowledge that the present moment's technological advances, political instability, and environmental chaos have conferred upon us. -- Tobias Carroll * Literary Hub *An engaging, sharp, and urgent work that takes us well beyond the neo-Luddite fantasies of techno-apocalypse so prevalent in late critiques of technology. -- Mari Bastashevski * Burlington Contemporary *

ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc New Appoaches in the Process Industries: The
Book SynopsisCompetition from emerging and developing countries, challenges related to energy and water, the continuing increase in the global population and the obligation to be sustainable are all impacting developed countries such as the United States, France, etc. Manufacturing has been almost totally neglected by these developed countries and thus there is a strong need to review R&D and the development and industrialization processes. This is a prerequisite for maintaining and improving welfare and quality of life. The industrialization process can be defined as the process of converting research or laboratory experiments into a physical tool capable of producing a product of value for customers of specified markets. Such a process implies knowledge of BAT (best available techniques) in chemical engineering, plant design, production competitiveness, the proper utilization of tools (toolbox concept) such as value assessment, value engineering, eco-design, LCA (lifecycle analysis), process simulation, modeling, innovation and appropriate metrics usage. These are mandatory to ensure commercial success and covered by the authors of this book.Trade Review“This book is intended for students, chemists, chemical engineers, production workers and all profssionals of the process industries such as supply chain managers, R&D and development engineers.“ (Heat Processing, 1 January 2015)Table of Contents1. Project Management – Systems Engineering – the Industrialization Process. 2. Metrics for Sustainability Assessment of Chemical Processes. 3. From Preliminary Projects to Projects. 4. Analysis of the Strategy of the Enterprise and the Enterprise Strategic Plan. 5. Excellence in Manufacturing and Operations Control. 6. Innovation and Change Management. 7. Water and Energy Challenges. 8. Engineers as Key Players for Sustainability: The Role of PSE Academia. 9. Plant of the Future.
