Evolving from the premise that customers have always behaved more like cats than Pavlov's dogs, Waiting for Your Cat to Bark? examines how emerging media have undermined the effectiveness of prevailing mass marketing models. At the same time, emerging media have created an unprecedented...

Surveillance permeates every aspect of our lives today. Every click on the keyboard, every call, text or email, every purchase, every contact with a doctor or the police or a government department, each time you walk under a video camera or pass through a security check, and in many other ways, you are recorded, identified, traced, and tracked. This Very Short Introduction investigates how surveillance makes people visible, how it grew to its present size and prevalence, how it came to rely on technologies of data-handling, and how it developed its own cultural features.

Militarized police officers with tanks and drones. Pervasive government surveillance and profiling. Social media that distract and track us. All of these, contends Bernard E. Harcourt, are facets of a new and radical governing paradigm in the United States - one rooted in the modes of warfare originally developed to suppress anticolonial revolutions and, more recently, to prosecute the war on terror. The Counterrevolution is a penetrating and disturbing account of the rise of counterinsurgency, first as a military strategy but increasingly as a way of ruling ordinary Americans.

The Death of The United States of America! The Collapse Of The Republic We Once Loved Is the America You Believe In Disappearing? This is The Death of The USA We Once Loved. By HASE Fiero For the first time in sixty years, the country many once revered as a beacon of liberty feels fractured, unrecognizable. The ideals of truth, justice, fairness, and freedom now seem like hollow echoes in a nation where the very architecture of democracy is quietly, yet steadily, being dismantled. This isn't just about policy; it's a profound fracture running deep into the culture, the psychology, and the ...

Once one of Silicon Valley's greatest success stories, for the past five years, Facebook has been under constant fire, roiled by controversies and crises. It turns out that while the tech giant was connecting the world, they were also mishandling users' data, allowing the spread of fake news and the amplification of dangerous, polarising hate speech. Critics framed the narrative as the irreconcilable conflict between the platform's lofty mission to advance society by bringing people together while also profiting off of them. But the truth is far more complex.

Smart homes are here—domestic spaces bristling with networked technologies that appear to enhance work, entertainment, logistics, health, and security. But these technologies may also extract a cost in attention, money, and privacy. In Threshold, communication and technology expert Heather Suzanne Woods applies rhetorical theory to answer the urgent question of how swiftly proliferating smart homes alter those who inhabit them.

Never before has so much been known about so many. CCTV cameras, TSA scanners, NSA databases, big data marketers, predator drones, "stop and frisk" tactics, Facebook algorithms, hidden spyware, and even old-fashioned nosy neighbors - surveillance has become so ubiquitous that we take its presence for granted. While many types of surveillance are pitched as ways to make us safer, almost no one has examined the unintended consequences of living under constant scrutiny and how it changes the way we think and feel about the world.

El delirio pospandémico: El hiperyo, la alucinación colectiva y la propagación global del sinsentido «El sinsentido no es la verdad. La ciencia no es un plan conspirativo; es la medida de la evolución humana, y el conocimiento tiene sus raíces en la curiosidad, no en la sugestibilidad. El sinsentido no es lo que nos hizo pasar de ser monos primordiales a convertirnos en los ingenieros de las obras maestras de software que hoy acaparan la atención del mundo. Los mitos, la negación y la ignorancia autoinfligida no son las herramientas con las que se construyeron las tecnologías que, ...

It's only a matter of time - the modern notion of privacy is quickly evaporating because of technological advancement and social engagement. Whether we like it or not, all our actions and communications are going to be revealed for everyone to see. Exposed: How Revealing Your Data and Eliminating Privacy Increases Trust and Liberates Humanity takes a controversial and insightful look at the concept of privacy and persuasively argues that preparing for a post-private future is better than exacerbating the painful transition by attempting to delay the inevitable.

They Know Everything About You is a groundbreaking exposé of how government agencies and tech corporations monitor virtually every aspect of our lives, and a fierce defense of privacy and democracy. The revelation that the government has access to a vast trove of personal online data demonstrates that we already live in a surveillance society. But the erosion of privacy rights extends far beyond big government.

As AI and robotics eliminate jobs across the spectrum, governmental revenues will plummet while the debt increases dramatically. This crisis of limited resources on all levels - underfunded or nonexistent pensions, health problems, lack of savings, and job destruction without comparable job creation - will drive many into homelessness and produce a dramatic rise in violence as we fight over shrinking resources.

Most folks assume that if someone disappears, it’s because they’re running from something shameful. They picture fugitives, tax evaders, or criminals ducking through the shadows. But the truth is far less cinematic—and far more human. People vanish because they’re scared. Because they’re starting over. Because they’re escaping abuse. Because the life they built turned out to be a cage. Some people disappear to survive. Some to be free. I wrote this book for both. I’ve met women who vanished to escape violent relationships and never looked back. I’ve talked with men who ...
