Living the Technology Revolution...

Martin K. Ettington

This isn't a book filled with dry timelines or technical blueprints of the digital revolution. Instead, it's a firsthand journey—my journey—through one of the most astonishing transformations in human history: the rise of personal computing and the dawn of the digital age.
I was born in November 1955, at a time when the word “computer” was barely whispered outside of military labs and universities. My earliest memories include a bulky black-and-white television with rabbit-ear antennas, broadcasting a single channel. That flickering screen was my first encounter with electronic media—a far cry from the high-definition, touch-responsive world we live in now.
Over the decades, my path as an engineer and software developer placed me squarely in the midst of this technological upheaval. I didn’t just watch the future arrive—I helped build it, one line of code and one innovation at a time.
This book is a personal time capsule—a chronicle of what it was really like to live through the shift from analog to digital, from typewriters to tablets, from rotary phones to the infinite power in our pockets today. If you're a younger reader curious about how we got here, or someone who remembers the glow of vacuum tubes and the clack of punch cards, I invite you to walk with me through the decades.
You may be surprised by how far we’ve come—and how much we’ve forgotten along the way.
Many of the chapters are identified with the years or periods of time where these changes occurred.

Death Glitch - How...

Tamara Kneese

An accessible yet erudite deep dive into how platforms are remaking experiences of death 
 
 
  
Since the internet's earliest days, people have died and mourned online. In quiet corners of past iterations of the web, the dead linger. But attempts at preserving the data of the dead are often ill-fated, for websites and devices decay and die, just as people do. Death disrupts technologists' plans for platforms. It reveals how digital production is always collaborative, undermining the entrepreneurial platform economy and highlighting the flaws of techno-solutionism. 
 
 
  
Big Tech has authority not only over people's lives but over their experiences of death as well. Ordinary users and workers, though, advocate for changes to tech companies' policies around death. Drawing on internet histories along with interviews with founders of digital afterlife startups, caretakers of illness blogs, and transhumanist tinkerers, the technology scholar Tamara Kneese takes listeners on a vibrant tour of the ways that platforms and people work together to care for digital remains. What happens when commercial platforms encounter the messiness of mortality?

Hepatitis - Prevent and Manage...

Lilly Richardsen

Hepatitis is a term that refers to inflammation of the liver, a vital organ responsible for over 500 essential functions in the human body. These include processing nutrients, filtering toxins from the blood, and producing proteins necessary for blood clotting. When the liver becomes inflamed or damaged, these critical functions are compromised, often leading to serious health consequences. Hepatitis can arise from a variety of causes, including viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, and autoimmune disorders.
Among the most common causes of hepatitis are viruses, which account for the five primary types of the disease: hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Each of these types has distinct modes of transmission, risk factors, and health outcomes. Some forms of hepatitis, like hepatitis A, are acute and self-limiting, while others, such as hepatitis B and C, can become chronic, leading to long-term complications like liver cirrhosis and cancer. The global impact of hepatitis is staggering, with millions of new cases reported annually and countless individuals living with chronic liver disease.
This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide to understanding, preventing, and managing hepatitis and related liver conditions. Whether you are seeking to protect yourself and your loved ones through preventative measures, coping with a recent diagnosis, or managing chronic liver disease, this resource is designed to offer practical advice, clear explanations, and up-to-date medical insights.
