Beschreibung

"Tech Emergence" explores how American tech companies achieved global dominance in the 20th and 21st centuries. The book examines the interplay of government policy, entrepreneurial spirit, and cultural shifts that propelled these companies forward. It highlights how significant R&D Funding during pivotal historical moments, such as World War II, laid the groundwork for advancements in computing, networking, and software.

The book further contends that the uniquely American culture of innovation and risk-taking allowed entrepreneurs to capitalize on these advancements, building groundbreaking companies and shaping the tech industry. The book takes a comprehensive approach, dissecting the origins, innovations, and impacts of tech giants like IBM, Apple, and Google. Each case study emphasizes the relationship between government support, individual innovation, and cultural context. For example, the internet's development, initially funded by government initiatives, became a platform for entrepreneurs to create new business models and reshape communication.

These detailed analyses provide valuable lessons for understanding the complex ecosystem that fostered American technological leadership. The book progresses systematically, starting with key concepts and historical context, moving into specific case studies, and culminating in broader conclusions about the drivers of American technological leadership. It emphasizes that the rise of American tech giants was not solely due to market forces, but also a result of strategic government support and a culture that embraced technological innovation. This framework offers guidance for policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in fostering future innovation.

Trolling Ourselves to Death -...

Jason Hannan

Almost forty years ago, Neil Postman argued that television had brought about a fundamental transformation to democracy. By turning entertainment into our supreme ideology, television had recreated public discourse in its image and converted democracy into show business. In Trolling Ourselves to Death, Jason Hannan builds on Postman's classic thesis, arguing that we are now not so much amusing, as trolling ourselves to death. 
 
 
 
Contrary to the popular view of the troll as an exclusively anonymous online prankster, Hannan asserts that trolls have emerged from the cave, so to speak. Trolls now include politicians, performers, patriots, and protesters. What was once a mysterious phenomenon limited to the darker corners of the Internet has since gone mainstream, eroding our public culture and changing the rules of democratic politics. 
 
 
 
Synthesizing media ecology with historical materialism, Hannan explores the disturbing rise of political unreason in the form of mass trolling and sheds light on the proliferation of disinformation, conspiracy theory, "cancel culture," and digital violence. Taking inspiration from Robert Brandom's innovative reading of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Trolling Ourselves to Death makes a case for building "a spirit of trust" to curb the epidemic of mass distrust that feeds the plague of political trolling.

Parasites - The Inside Story

Gabor Racz, Judy Diamond, Scott...

This book looks at the weird and wonderful world of parasites, the most abundant form of life on Earth. Parasites come in all forms and sizes and inhabit every free-living organism. Parasitism is now, and always has been, a way to survive under changing environmental conditions. From arctic oceans to tropical forests, Scott Gardner, Judy Diamond, and Gabor Racz investigate how parasites survive and evolve, and how they influence and provide stability to ecosystems. 
 
 
 
Taking listeners to the open ranges of Mongolia, the Sandhills of north-central Nebraska, the Andes of Bolivia, and more, the authors examine the impact parasites have on humans and other animals. Using examples of parasites from throughout the tree of life, the authors describe parasite-host relationships as diverse as those between trematodes and snails and tapeworms and whales. Parasites offer clues to the evolutionary history of particular regions, and they can provide insights into the history of species interactions. Through parasites, biologists can weave together a global knowledge of the past to predict the challenges that we will face in the future. 
 
 
 
Revealing that parasites are so much more than creepy-crawlies, this book gives up-to-date context for these critical members of the biological diversity of our planet.
