  Personal Privacy in the Age of...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  For two decades, privacy has remained at the center of public debate, with repeated reports of cyber privacy violations highlighting the urgent need for clearer regulation. Yet fundamental questions persist: What is privacy? Where does the private sphere end and the public begin? How does privacy relate to freedom, autonomy, and liberty? How should individual rights be balanced against the public’s right to know in an era of pervasive information and communication technologies (ICTs)? 
  In this audiobook, Yair Oppenheim reviews existing definitions of personal privacy and distills their core components. He proposes dividing privacy into two categories: deep personal privacy and general personal privacy. By shifting the discussion toward deep and general personal privacy information, he draws a clear boundary around deep personal privacy when analyzing the impact of ICTs. 
  Oppenheim argues that until the age of ICTs, deep personal privacy was largely inaccessible and therefore not culture-dependent, unlike general personal privacy, which has always varied across cultures. While ICTs affect both types, their most profound impact lies in enabling, for the first time in history, the exposure of deep personal privacy. This sphere, he contends, is a fundamental human need, essential not only for individuals but also for society as a whole. 
  Dr. Yair Oppenheim holds degrees in mathematics, computer science, business, and cyber security, and earned his Ph.D. from Tel Aviv University’s Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas. He has managed IT and information systems for multinational corporations including Delta-Galil, GE Healthcare, and Teva Pharmaceuticals.

  Hardwired - How Our Instincts to...

  For the first time in a thousand years, Americans are experiencing a reversal in lifespan. Despite living in one of the safest and most secure eras in human history, one in five adults suffers from anxiety as does one-third of adolescents. Nearly half of the US population is overweight or obese and one-third of Americans suffer from chronic pain—the highest level in the world. In the United States, fatalities due to prescription pain medications now surpass those of heroin and cocaine combined, and each year ten percent of all students on American college campuses contemplate suicide. With the proliferation of social media and the algorithms for social sharing that prey upon our emotional brains, inaccurate or misleading health articles and videos now move faster through social media networks than do reputable ones. 
  This audiobook is about modern health—or lack of it. The authors make two key arguments: that our deteriorating wellness is rapidly becoming a health emergency, and two, that much of these trends are rooted in the way our highly evolved hardwired brains and bodies deal with modern social change. The coauthors: a PhD from the world of social science and an MD from the world of medicine—combine forces to bring this emerging human crisis to light. Densely packed with fascinating facts and little-told stories, the authors weave together real-life cases that describe how our ancient evolutionary drives are propelling us toward ill health and disease. Over the course of seven chapters, the authors unlock the mysteries of our top health vices: why hospitals are more dangerous than warzones, our addiction to sugar, salt, and stress, our emotionally-driven brains, our relentless pursuit of happiness, our sleepless society, our understanding of risk, and finally, how world history can be a valuable tutor. Through these varied themes, the authors illustrate how our social lives are more of a determinant of health outcome than at any other time in our history, and to truly understand our plight, we need to recognize when our decisions and behavior are being directed by our survival-seeking hardwired brains and bodies.
