The Internet of Things is a networked world of connected devices, objects, and people. In this book Samuel Greengard offers a guided tour through this emerging world and how it will change the way we live and work. Greengard explains that the Internet of Things (IoT) is still in its early stages. Smartphones, cloud computing, RFID (radio-frequency identification), technology, sensors, and miniaturization are converging to make possible a new generation of embedded and immersive technology.

Story1
Artificial intelligence surrounds us. More and more of the systems and services you interact with every day are based on AI technology. Most AI is narrowly specific; that is, it can only do a single thing, in a single context. Human intelligence is different. We can solve a variety of tasks, including those we have not seen before. In Artificial General Intelligence, Julian Togelius explores technical approaches to developing more general artificial intelligence and asks what general AI would mean for human civilization.

Eine revolutionäre Erfindung – und ihre Zukunft. Tim Berners-Lee ist der womöglich einflussreichste Erfinder der modernen Welt. Geboren im selben Jahr wie Bill Gates und Steve Jobs, teilte er seine Erfindung, das World Wide Web, ohne sie kommerziell zu verwerten. Auch deshalb konnte sich diese Technologie so schnell über den gesamten Globus verbreiten. Mit ihr wurde die Menschheit zur ersten digitalen Spezies: Hier, im Web, vernetzen wir uns, hier leben, arbeiten, streiten und träumen wir.

Story1
Democratic Delusions explores the potential of our media and tech systems to be democratic and contribute to a just and transformative democracy. This is only possible, Natalie Fenton argues, by first situating our political systems and mediated worlds within global capitalism. By interrogating different media and their relationship to seven key elements of democracy—power, participation, freedom, equality, public good, trust, and hope—the book asks: What is the response of society when the ability of news media to speak truth to power has been restricted by corporate logic?

In the late 1850s, a physician in New York City used a syringe and glass tube to inject half a drop of sperm into a woman's uterus, marking the first recorded instance of artificial insemination. From that day forward, doctors and scientists have turned to technology in ever more innovative ways to facilitate conception. Fertility Technology surveys this history in all its medical, practical, and ethical complexity, and offers a look at state-of-the-art fertility technology in various social and political contexts around the world.

In an age where connectivity has reached unprecedented heights, humanity paradoxically experiences intensified solitude. The Internet, social media, and digital communication tools promise constant interaction, yet beneath the veneer of perpetual engagement lies a profound sense of detachment. We have woven an expansive digital web, intricately threading through every dimension of our lives. Yet, far from binding us together in deeper and more meaningful ways, this net has fragmented our relationships, distorted our sense of self, and left us lonelier than ever.

In Artificial Unintelligence, Meredith Broussard argues that our collective enthusiasm for applying computer technology to every aspect of life has resulted in a tremendous amount of poorly designed systems. We are so eager to do everything digitally - hiring, driving, paying bills, even choosing romantic partners - that we have stopped demanding that our technology actually work. Broussard, a software developer and journalist, reminds us that there are fundamental limits to what we can (and should) do with technology.

Business is on the cusp of an inevitable and profound transformation. The tools of tomorrow will amplify human potential, from collaborating in virtual spaces through digital avatars, to managing transactions transparently on the blockchain. Those who embrace these technologies—and the manner in which people want to work—will unleash unprecedented levels of productivity and innovation. Conversely, those who remain tethered to outdated work patterns risk losing out on the best talent, and even becoming obsolete.
