  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Expose the software, algorithms, and automated systems making decisions today that will determine your opportunities, options, and life trajectory for years to come. This forward-looking audiobook examines how current data collection and algorithmic classification creates persistent digital profiles that follow you indefinitely, influencing future decisions you cannot predict. Learn how early social media posts, browsing history, purchase patterns, and location data become permanent records used in ways never anticipated when you generated them. The narrator reveals how predictive algorithms project current patterns into future expectations that become self-fulfilling prophecies when institutions rely on these predictions. Discover the feedback loops between algorithmic prediction and opportunity allocation that can lock individuals into trajectories determined by past data regardless of present reality. Understand why data collected for one purpose inevitably finds other uses as systems interconnect and corporations trade information without your knowledge. This audiobook examines the concept of algorithmic fate, where automated systems increasingly determine life outcomes based on computations rather than human judgment or individual agency. Learn what data protection advocates, computer scientists, and civil liberties experts understand about long-term implications of current data practices. Perfect for young people whose digital lives are just beginning and anyone concerned about how present actions create future constraints through hidden technological processes.

  ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Award
  "Look at the birds"
  Through the painful days of the pandemic stuck in her home, Courtney Ellis found herself looking down in despair. Soon after, her beloved grandfather died unexpectedly.
  It was around this same time that Ellis took up watching birds. "Took up" might not be exactly right—as she puts it, "the switch flipped," and she's been borderline obsessed with birds ever since.
  Looking Up is a meditation on birding as a practice of hope. Weaving together stories from her own life, including the death of her grandfather, with reflections on birds of many kinds, Ellis invites us to open our eyes to the goodness of God both in the natural world and in our own lives. By "looking up" to the birds, Ellis found the beauty and wonder of these creatures calling her out of her darkness into the light and hope of God's promises.

  Acclaimed writer David Smart illuminates the fascinating life of Royal Robbins—in all its soulful ambition, rivalry, and romance. Royal Robbins chronicles his early years growing up as a latchkey kid in Southern California, the push and pull between being an aspiring banker or one of the original Camp 4 dirtbags, and his later decades as a father, husband, kayaker, and the trailblazing founder of the outdoor apparel company that bears his name. This intimate, colorful tour of climbing history covering Yosemite, the Tetons, the Gunks, the Alps, the United Kingdom, and more from the 1960s onward features star characters such as Liz Robbins—Robbins's wife and a pioneering adventurer in her own right—Yvon Chouinard, John Harlin, Steve Roper, Warren Harding, Tom Frost, and Doug Tompkins. 
   
   
   
  An important addition to our knowledge of the Golden Age of rock climbing in Yosemite and the development of the clean climbing ethos, Royal Robbins sheds new light on an elemental figure of outdoor culture.
