Columns vol nieuwe inzichten over de rol van technologie in ons leven. Hilarisch, soms kort door de bocht, soms genuanceerd, soms absurd, soms confronterend, altijd interessant. Rens van der Vorst geeft in ‘Waarom je altijd wilt winnen van je navigatiesysteem’ antwoord op belangrijke technologische vragen. Want we leven meer dan ooit in een wereld vol digitale technologie. Videovergaderingen. Selfies. Big Data. Sociale media. Emoji. Netflix. Slimme barbies. Bitcoins. Kunstmatige intelligentie. Biotechnologie. Algoritmes. Spotify. Smartphones. Zelfrijdende auto’s. Dickpics. Robots. En dat is slechts een niet geheel willekeurige selectie. Zo’n wereld leidt tot allerlei nieuwe vragen. Vragen zoals: Waarom kom ik nooit knappe mensen tegen op Tinder? Wat doet mijn slimme stofzuiger als ik niet thuis ben? Als het product gratis is, ben ik dan het product? Zijn we straks te dom om het klimaatprobleem op te lossen? Is Buienradar wel te vertrouwen? Rens van der Vorst geeft antwoord op deze belangrijke vragen. Hilarisch, soms kort door de bocht, soms genuanceerd; soms absurd, soms confronterend; maar altijd vol nieuwe inzichten over de rol van technologie in ons leven.

Een boek vol slimme hacks en hilarische inzichten dat de invloed van digitale technologie op ons leven toont en je beter laat voelen over je gebruik ervan. Samen pakken we de controle terug! In ‘Digitale gremlins’ werpt Rens van der Vorst een kritische blik op de invloed van digitale technologie op ons leven. Digitale technologie heeft ons leven een stuk gemakkelijker gemaakt. Van appen tot eten bestellen, er is altijd wel een digitale dienst waarmee het nóg sneller, simpeler en goedkoper kan. Maar meer efficiëntie betekent ook minder ruimte voor improvisatie, voor toeval, voor humor, voor spontane gesprekken. Eigenlijk helpen we vooral de grote technologiebedrijven aan nog meer geld, macht en data. Volgens technofilosoof Rens van der Vorst is het tijd om de controle terug te pakken. Hoe? Je hoeft alleen maar de digitale gremlin in jezelf wakker te kussen. Een gremlin is een mythisch wezentje met aanleg voor mechanica. Hij saboteert het systeem. Een beetje. Op een slimme manier. Een manier die leuk is, weinig moeite kost en waar je niet technisch voor hoeft te zijn. Wil jij je beter voelen over je gebruik van digitale technologie? Wil jij technologie waarin onze waarden centraal staan? Wil jij niet langer passief toekijken maar actie ondernemen? Sluit je dan aan bij het leger digitale gremlins. Samen pakken we de controle terug en maken we de wereld steeds een beetje beter.

The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim is Jonathan Coe's latest heart-breaking and hilarious novel Maxwell Sim could be any of us. He could be you. He's about to have a mid-life crisis (though eh doesn't know it yet). He'll be found in his car in the north of Scotland, half-naked and alone, suffering hypothermia, with a couple of empty whisky bottles and a boot full of toothbrushes. It's a far cry from a restaurant in Sydney, where his story starts. But then Maxwell Sim has, unknowingly, got a long way to go. If he knew now about his lonely journey to the Shetland Isles, or the truth about his father and the folded photograph, or the mystery of Poppy and her peculiar job, or even about Emma's lovely, fading voice, then perhaps he's stay where he was - hiding from destiny. But Max knows none of it. And nor do you - at least not yet. . . Equal parts funny and moving, The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim will be cherished by readers everywhere, from fans of David Nicholls to Will Self. 'Witty, unexpected and curiously unsettling. Coe carries it off with empathy, comedy and a ventriloquist's ear for idiom' Literary Review 'Clever, engaging, spring-loaded with mysteries and surprises' Time Out 'Masterly, highly engaging. Coe's eye for the details of contemporary life remains as sharp as ever' Daily Mail Jonathan Coe's novels are filled with biting social commentary, moving and astute observations of life and hilarious set pieces that have made him one of the most popular writers of his generation. His other titles, The Accidental Woman, The Rotters' Club (winner of the Everyman Wodehouse prize), The House of Sleep (winner of the1998 Prix Médicis Étranger), A Touch of Love, What a Carve Up! (winner of the 1995 John Llewellyn Rhys Prize) and The Rain Before it Falls, are all available in Penguin paperback.

Murder for hire. Drug trafficking. Embezzlement. Money laundering... These might sound like plot lines of a thriller, but they are true stories from the short history of cryptocurrencies - digital currencies conceived by computer hackers and cryptographers that represent a completely new sort of financial transaction that could soon become mainstream. The most famous - or infamous - cryptocurrency is bitcoin. But look beyond its tarnished reputation and something much shinier emerges. The technology that underlies bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies - the blockchain - is hailed as the greatest advancement since the invention of the internet. It is now moving away from being the backbone for a digital currency and making inroads into other core concepts of society: identity, ownership and even the rule of law. The End of Money is your essential introduction to this transformative new technology that has governments, entrepreneurs and forward-thinking people from all walks of life sitting up and taking notice. ABOUT THE SERIES New Scientist Instant Expert books are definitive and accessible entry points to the most important subjects in science; subjects that challenge, attract debate, invite controversy and engage the most enquiring minds. Designed for curious readers who want to know how things work and why, the Instant Expert series explores the topics that really matter and their impact on individuals, society, and the planet, translating the scientific complexities around us into language that's open to everyone, and putting new ideas and discoveries into perspective and context.

Technology is changing money: it has been transformed from physical objects to intangible information. With the arrival of smart cards, mobile phones and Bitcoin it has become easier than ever to create new forms of money. Crucially, money is also inextricably connected with our identities. Your card or phone is a security device that can identify you – and link information about you to your money. To see where these developments might be taking us, David Birch looks back over the history of money, spanning thousands of years. He sees in the past, both recent and ancient, evidence for several possible futures. Looking further back to a world before cash and central banks, there were multiple ‘currencies’ operating at the level of communities, and the use of barter for transactions. Perhaps technology will take us back to the future, a future that began back in 1971, when money became a claim backed by reputation rather than by physical commodities of any kind. Since then, money has been bits. The author shows that these phenomena are not only possible in the future, but already upon us. We may well want to make transactions in Tesco points, Air Miles, Manchester United pounds, Microsoft dollars, Islamic e-gold or Cornish e-tin. The use of cash is already in decline, and is certain to vanish from polite society. The newest technologies will take money back to its origins: a substitute for memory, a record of mutual debt obligations within multiple overlapping communities. This time though, money will be smart. It will be money that reflects the values of the communities that produced it. Future money will know where it has been, who has been using it and what they have been using it for.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword “A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial Times NATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • Wired • Fortune • Kirkus Reviews • The Guardian • Nature • On Point We live in the age of the algorithm. Increasingly, the decisions that affect our lives—where we go to school, whether we can get a job or a loan, how much we pay for health insurance—are being made not by humans, but by machines. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules. But as mathematician and data scientist Cathy O’Neil reveals, the mathematical models being used today are unregulated and uncontestable, even when they’re wrong. Most troubling, they reinforce discrimination—propping up the lucky, punishing the downtrodden, and undermining our democracy in the process. Welcome to the dark side of Big Data.

While it is a truism that emerging technologies present both opportunities for and challenges to their host communities, the legal community has only recently begun to consider their significance. On the one hand, emerging information, bio, nano, and neurotechnologies challenge policy-makers who aspire to put in place a regulatory environment that is legitimate, effective, and sustainable; on the other hand, these same technologies offer new opportunities as potentially powerful regulatory instruments. In this unique volume, a team of leading international scholars address many of the key difficulties surrounding the regulation of emerging technological targets as well as the implications of adopting technology as a regulatory tool. How should we rise to the challenge of regulating technologies? How are the regulatory lines to be drawn in the right places and how is the public to be properly engaged? How is precaution to be accommodated, and how can the law keep pace with technologies that develop ahead of the regulatory environment? How readily should we avail ourselves of the opportunity to use technology as a regulative strategy? How are we to understand these strategies and the challenges which they raise? To what extent do they give rise to similar policy problems accompanying more 'traditional' regulatory instruments or generate distinctive challenges? While the criminal justice system increasingly relies on technological assistance and the development of a 'surveillance society', is a regulatory regime that rules by technology compatible with rule of law values?
