Anthropologists use dermatoglyphic patterns to study human evolution and population genetics, while psychologists are exploring the relationship between dermatoglyphics and personality traits, behavior, and cognitive abilities.

This book delves into the rich history of dermatoglyphics, tracing its origins back to ancient times and highlighting the contributions of pioneering researchers who have shaped the field. It also provides a detailed overview of the various methods used in dermatoglyphic analysis, ensuring that readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the techniques employed in this fascinating field.

Digital Capitalism and...

Sabine Pfeiffer

Are robots taking away our jobs? Those who ask this question have misunderstood digitalisation - it is not an industrial revolution by other means. Sabine Pfeiffer searches for the actual novelties brought about by digitalisation and digital capitalism. In her analysis, she juxtaposes Marx's concept of productive force with the idea of distributive force. From the platform economy to artificial intelligence, Pfeiffer shows that digital capitalism is less about the efficient production of value, but rather about its fast, risk-free, and permanently secured realisation on the markets. The examination of this dynamic and its consequences also leads to the question of how destructive the distributive forces of digital capitalism might be.

Cybersecurity - The New...

Marcus Klein

In today's interconnected world, technology has become the backbone of our daily lives, reshaping how we communicate, work, shop, and even socialize. The digital age has brought immense progress, opening up unprecedented opportunities for individuals and businesses alike. However, with these advancements come new challenges, particularly the growing threat of cybercrime. As we rely more heavily on the internet for both personal and professional activities, the vulnerability of our digital infrastructure has become a pressing concern.
Cybersecurity is no longer a niche concern for IT professionals but a critical issue that impacts everyone. From personal data breaches to large-scale corporate hacks, the risks of cyber attacks are more real and damaging than ever. Hackers, cybercriminals, and even state-sponsored entities have the ability to infiltrate systems, steal sensitive data, and disrupt critical services. The consequences of these actions can range from financial loss to the erosion of privacy, and in some cases, even national security threats.
The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the growing adoption of artificial intelligence and cloud computing have only heightened the complexity of cybersecurity. As we continue to digitize more aspects of our lives, the attack surface—the points where cybercriminals can strike—has expanded significantly. The very technologies designed to improve our lives also provide new avenues for malicious actors to exploit. The security of everything from smartphones to medical devices, self-driving cars, and cloud storage systems is now in question.

Literary Theory for Robots - How...

Dennis Yi Tenen

Literary Theory for Robots reveals the hidden history of modern machine intelligence, taking listeners on a spellbinding journey from medieval Arabic philosophy to visions of a universal language, past Hollywood fiction factories, and missile defense systems trained on Russian folktales. In this provocative reflection on the shared pasts of literature and computer science, former Microsoft engineer and professor of comparative literature Dennis Yi Tenen provides crucial context for recent developments in AI, which holds important lessons for the future of humans living with smart technology. 
 
 
 
Intelligence expressed through technology should not be mistaken for a magical genie, capable of self-directed thought or action. Rather, in highly original and effervescent prose with a generous dose of wit, Yi Tenen asks us to read past the artifice—to better perceive the mechanics of collaborative work. Something as simple as a spell-checker or a grammar-correction tool, embedded in every word-processor, represents the culmination of a shared human effort, spanning centuries. 
 
 
 
With its masterful blend of history, technology, and philosophy, Yi Tenen's work ultimately urges us to view AI as a matter of labor history, celebrating the long-standing cooperation between authors and engineers.
