When it comes to tech, the mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. While legitimate concerns drive these fears, we need to equally account for the fact that tech affords young people something incredibly valuable—a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that, outside the West, where most of the world's youth reside, there is a significant different outlook on tech: in fact, there is a contagion of optimism toward all things digital. These users, especially those in marginalized contexts, are full of hope for new tech. Drawing on field insights in diverse global contexts such as Brazil, India, and Bangladesh, Arora describes what drives Gen Z to embrace new technologies. From Pessimism to Promise discusses the shift to relationally-driven approaches to design; how to create "algorithms of aspiration"; how to reimagine the digital space for sex, pleasure, and care; and, what we can learn from feminist digital activists and women's collectives in the Global South on shared digital provenance and value, as well as indigenous approaches to sustainability, that challenges sacred ideas on degrowth, circular economy, and the doughnut economy.Show book
The period before the rise of the Sui Dynasty was marked by fragmentation and instability, as China remained divided between the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This era, which lasted from the late 4th century to the late 6th century, was characterized by constant warfare, shifting alliances, and a deep cultural divide between the north and south. The fall of this system set the stage for the reunification of China under the Sui Dynasty. The north was ruled by a succession of non-Han Chinese states, often founded by nomadic groups that had migrated into China during the decline of the Western Jin Dynasty. The Northern Wei, established by the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei people, was the most powerful of these states. Over time, the rulers of the Northern Wei adopted Chinese customs, Confucian governance, and Buddhism, which helped stabilize their rule. However, internal struggles, court intrigue, and opposition from powerful aristocratic families led to the dynasty’s division into the Eastern and Western Wei, eventually giving rise to the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties. In contrast, the Southern Dynasties were ruled by Han Chinese elites who maintained a more traditional Chinese way of life. The Eastern Jin, followed by the Liu Song, Southern Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties, governed the southern regions, centered around the lower Yangtze River. These dynasties often suffered from weak central control, as powerful noble families exerted significant influence over the government. While the south was culturally rich and economically prosperous, political instability and frequent coups weakened its ability to resist northern invasions.Show book
Few musical genres inspire the passionate devotion of jazz. Its mystique goes far beyond the melodies and rhythms, with its key players and singers discussed by aficionados with a respect that borders on reverence. Some books on jazz offer little more than theory or dry facts, thereby relinquishing the ‘essence’ of the music. This book is different. One of the most influential and internationally known writers on the subject describes, through vivid personal contacts, reminiscences and zesty anecdotes, his life in jazz as a player, broadcaster and observer. Alyn Shipton recalls friendships with legendary musicians, while revealing fresh discoveries about such luminaries as Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Abbey Lincoln and Geri Allen. On Jazz powerfully evokes the atmosphere of clubs and dancehalls, and takes us behind the scenes and up onto the stage, so that this electrifying world is unforgettably spotlighted as never before.Show book
