Open Secrecy - How Technology...

Isak Ladegaard

Examines how the global digital underground is liberated by "open secrecy"—a novel and ominous mix of tools for mass communication and anonymity 
  
Shadowy groups are increasingly capable of collective action. Using military-grade encryption, rerouting software, and cryptocurrencies, anonymous and pseudonymous actors can now communicate, solve problems, recruit members, and manage resources across multiple public and semipublic spaces. This swirling mix of secrecy and openness enables people to move through cyberspace like nomads with verifiable personas, which makes them impossible to stop. 
  
Isak Ladegaard takes readers inside a dark, digital economy for banned drugs that has survived numerous police crackdowns, examines how activist software developers in China and other countries have maintained paths to the open internet, and documents how the American far right uses the same tools to sustain antisocial movements based on paranoia and hate. Timely and perceptive, Open Secrecy argues that although information technology enables mass surveillance, it also undermines state power by boosting groups that evade its rule. These dual forces of control and liberation are propelling us forward, with no one at the wheel. 
  
"A fascinating, expertly researched, and beautifully written examination of the juxtaposition between openness and secrecy in the dark digital underbelly of the internet."—Alexandrea Ravenelle, author of Side Hustle Safety Net: How Vulnerable Workers Survive Precarious Times

Founder vs Investor - The Honest...

Elizabeth Joy Zalman, Jerry Neumann

Read by the authors. 
  
“The rarest of business books, one that provides genuinely actionable counsel delivered without empty cliches.” – KIRKUS 
How many world-changing startups will fail because the founders and investors never figure out how to work together?  Founder Elizabeth Zalman and Investor Jerry Neumann square off in this one-of-a-kind book, exposing how startups are built, broken, and fought over.  
Every iconic tech company was once a startup. And while these companies like to paint an origin story full of surefooted confidence, the truth is usually something different: the early life of most startups is pure chaos. 
This chaos comes from the vastly different motivations and incentives between those with the vision and those with the money. From fundraising paranoia to boardroom coups, Zalman and Neumann train their inimitable voices on the gulf between what founders and investors promise to do and what they end up actually doing. 
Founder vs Investor is the brutal truth, from each side’s perspective, of the pitfalls of this tenuous relationship—where bad blood can turn sure things into shattered dreams. It is the only book written by insiders with the temerity to pull back the curtain on the world of high growth venture-backed startups. 
Accompanying charts, tables, and a glossary are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

The Domestication of Truth - How...

Alok K. Agrawal

Most smart organizations don’t suffer from a lack of ideas. They suffer from a gap between what they can see and what they are willing to commit to. 
That gap is not just a leadership flaw or a culture problem. It is a predictable outcome of how institutions manage uncertainty. When the stakes rise, risk gets re-described as rigor. Decisions get turned into process. The organization stays busy, stays thoughtful, and stays technically uncommitted, while the window quietly closes. 
This book is about why commitment matters, and why it is the only way to earn asymmetric gains. The upside you want does not come from having more options on paper. It comes from making a few choices real, early enough that compounding works in your favor. Commitment is what concentrates time, talent, and attention long enough for learning to accumulate, for execution to get traction, and for second-order effects to show up. Without it, even good strategy decays into motion without consequence. 
You’ll learn to tell the difference between disciplined uncertainty and polite evasion, and you’ll get an operating system for commitment that works inside real organizations. 
If you can see what needs to be done, but your organization keeps finding reasons not to decide, this book shows you how to make commitment a capability.
