Beschreibung

Ice Rivers Fish explores how modern technology transformed ancient traditions among the Yupik people of Alaska, focusing on the intricate relationship between technological adaptation, fishing, and cultural identity. The book delves into how the introduction of modern fishing gear, like nylon nets and outboard motors, altered traditional practices and impacted trade networks in the Arctic. It also considers the environmental impact of these changes, examining how resource extraction shifted and affected traditional ecological knowledge. 

 
The book uniquely emphasizes the Yupik's active role in selectively adopting and adapting modern tools to fit their existing cultural values and economic needs, rather than portraying them as passive recipients of external influences. It highlights how, historically, subsistence hunting and fishing were central to the Yupik economy, with complex resource management systems, and how modern gear disrupted these systems, leading to shifts in labor, wealth, and social structures. 

 
The book progresses from establishing the cultural background and pre-modern techniques to analyzing the impact of specific technologies on fishing yields and socioeconomic implications.

    Under the cover of "innovation," technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and have even begun to seize power from governments themselves. Facial recognition firms track citizens for police surveillance. Cryptocurrency has wiped out the savings of millions and threatens the stability of the global financial system. Spyware companies sell intelligence tools to anyone who can afford them. This new reality—where unregulated technology has become a forceful instrument for autocrats worldwide—is terrible news for democracies and citizens. 
     
     
     
    In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake explains how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. She takes us beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies. To reverse this existential power imbalance, Schaake outlines solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike. Democratic leaders can—and must—resist the influence of corporate lobbying and reinvent themselves as dynamic, flexible guardians of our digital world. Schaake offers a frightening look at our modern tech-obsessed world—and a clear-eyed view of how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.

    The world's leading investigator of consciousness argues that by understanding what consciousness does—cause change in the world—we can understand its origins and its future 
     
     
     
    In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems. 
     
     
     
    Enabled by such tools, Koch reveals when and where consciousness exists, and uses that knowledge to confront major social and scientific questions: When does a fetus first become self-aware? Can psychedelic and mystical experiences transform lives? What happens to consciousness in near-death experiences? Why will generative AI ultimately be able to do the very thing we can do, yet never feel any of it? And do our experiences reveal a single, objective reality? 
     
     
     
    This is an essential book for anyone who seeks to understand ourselves and the future we are creating.
