So in you may find yourself rooting for the main character, not because he is a great guy (he's not), but because you may not agree with what he is put through. I love the head scratcher books where there is a very very very gray area. However, in the middle and latter parts of the book, there are things done to him by society in the name of "good" that are highly questionable, and as much as I hated him I found myself asking "Was that really justifiable?" And there isn't really a clear answer to that question, which is what makes the book so interesting. I can't really say what he does that is so horrendous without giving away spoilers (unless you really want to know) but let's just say you do NOT want to meet him in a dark alley or be alone in a car with him.

Surveillance capitalism fortified its growth by establishing close ties to the government, lobbying Congress and creating relationships with US presidents to shield itself from federal regulation. Zuboff identifies the collision of second modernity’s individualism and neoliberalism as a key moment in history that ruptured society, triggering a phase of socio-political turmoil that allowed for surveillance capitalists to enter the stage and exploit modern citizens’ vulnerabilities for their own gain. Part 1 of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism looks at specific historical, political, and economic circumstances that led to the rise of surveillance capitalism. The author argues that surveillance capitalism’s secret exploitation of the mass public is a dire threat to the future of democratic society, threatening the very idea of free will. These products are sold on behavioral futures markets to buyers who wish to know and influence people’s future behaviors. In her introduction, Zuboff defines surveillance capitalism as a process whereby technology firms collect data on lived human experience to create prediction products. ![]() Please note that this study guide uses the first edition eBook and citation pages may vary from print editions. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He recalls his promising talent as an operatic tenor (a lifelong passion), his encounters with everyone from Martin Buber to Bertolt Brecht, innumerable love affairs, four marriages, and a career so rich he once held tenured positions at four universities at the same time.Īlthough not written as an intellectual autobiography, Killing Time sketches the people, ideas, and conflicts of sixty years. He writes of his experience in the German army on the Russian front, where three bullets left him crippled, impotent, and in lifelong pain. Here, for the first time, Feyerabend traces the trajectory that led him from an isolated, lower-middle-class childhood in Vienna to the height of international academic success. "Anything goes," he said about the ways of science in his most famous book, Against Method. Feyerabend gave voice to a radically democratic "epistemological anarchism: " he argued forcefully that there is not one way to knowledge, but many principled paths not one truth or one rationality but different, competing pictures of the workings of the world. Rather, his fame was in powerful, plain-spoken critiques of "big" science and "big" philosophy. But he emphatically was not a builder of theories or a writer of rules. Trained in physics and astronomy, Feyerabend was best known as a philosopher of science. Finished only weeks before his death in 1994, it is the self-portrait of one of this century's most original and influential intellectuals. Killing Time is the story of Paul Feyerabend's life. ![]() ![]() ![]() I don’t know how I didn’t catch that but the fact is that the book shot to the top of my TBR.

McEwan’s Turing has developed “machine consciousness” to its ultimate level, and is instrumental in putting Adam on the market. The notion that a machine can fall in love opens up the intense philosophical debate that underpins the novel, most notably via the figure of Alan Turing, who is still alive, and a hero of Charlie’s. ![]() The complication is that Adam has fallen in love with Miranda.
