  A surprising window into the online lives of people sixty and over—offering essential insights, no matter your age. 
   
  Many popular accounts say the older you are, the greater your tech struggles. And it’s worrying to think of loved ones emailing cringe-worthy misinformation, falling for phishing attacks, or becoming lonelier with increasing time spent online.  
   
  But in their eye-opening book on the internet’s fastest-growing demographic, researchers Eszter Hargittai and John Palfrey offer a more nuanced picture—debunking common myths about older adults’ internet use to offer hope and a necessary call to action. Incorporating original interviews and survey results from thousands of people sixty and over, Wired Wisdom shows that many, in fact, use technology in ways that put younger peers to shame. Over-sixties are often nimble online and quicker to abandon social media platforms that don’t meet their needs. Despite being targeted more often, they also may be less likely to fall for scams than younger peers. And fake news actually fools fewer people over sixty, who have far more experience evaluating sources and detecting propaganda. Still, there are unseen risks and missed opportunities for this group. Hargittai and Palfrey offer practical advice and show that our stereotypes can be hurdles that keep us from building intergenerational support communities, helping loved ones adopt new technology that may improve their lives, and thriving together online.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Reveal the invisible algorithmic systems making crucial decisions about your life without your knowledge, input, or ability to appeal their judgments. This essential audiobook exposes how automated decision-making determines what information you see, what opportunities you receive, what prices you pay, and how institutions treat you based on calculations you never see. Learn how credit algorithms, hiring software, insurance models, and content recommendation systems shape your life trajectory more than personal choices while remaining completely opaque. The narrator reveals the biases embedded in algorithmic systems that perpetuate discrimination while appearing objective and the accountability voids that prevent challenging automated decisions affecting your life. Discover how tech companies optimize engagement algorithms knowing they promote misinformation, outrage, and addiction while presenting themselves as neutral platforms. Understand why algorithmic transparency remains impossible to achieve given corporate secrecy, technical complexity, and regulatory failure that leaves citizens subject to systems they cannot examine. This audiobook draws from computer scientists, investigative journalists, and algorithm researchers documenting hidden systems that govern modern life. Learn strategies for recognizing algorithmic influence, minimizing harmful exposure, and advocating for accountability in automated decision-making. Essential listening for anyone living in the digital age who wants to understand the invisible forces shaping their reality and what limited options exist for reclaiming agency from automated systems.

  Dr. Alicia Blando learned during the early days of the HIV epidemic that American medical practices fail to holistically support patients. Seeing a gap in medical care, Dr. Blando started seeking advice from unconventional counselors, such as psychics, mediums and astrologers, as well as learning from indigenous healers. “Open for Interpretation: A Doctor’s Journey into Astrology” follows Dr. Blando’s self-discovery journey through her astrological chart and demonstrates how readers can apply this ancient practice to their own path to self-discovery.  
  In conjunction with Western medicine, Dr. Blando believes that the tenets of astrology can support a person’s health, wellbeing, and self-understanding, and can even offer insight into predispositions for certain diseases and illnesses. Dr. Blando takes readers on her pursuit of life’s age-old question, “Am I walking the right path?” She travels from Manhattan to the Peruvian Amazon, Belize, and Bolivia, and learns about time-proven, holistic methods of healing. In her stunning memoir, she shares her story of finally finding the guide she’s been seeking—and explains how we can all use that map to access our higher selves and untapped potential.  
  In “Open for Interpretation”, Dr. Blando’s expedition off the beaten path leads her to true self-exploration and connection with the world around her, as well as a desire to share her knowledge and experience.
