Dlaczego płacimy za oszukiwanie samych siebie? Czy robot może emocjonalnie złamać człowieka? Jak wielkie firmy wykorzystują naszą samotność? Natalia Hatalska pozwala inaczej niż dotychczas spojrzeć na to, czym jest życie w XXI wieku, odkryć i zrozumieć mechanizmy kierujące relacjami, technologią i polityką. Jej książka zmusza do tego, byśmy się zatrzymali i zadali sobie najważniejsze pytania: Czy można powstrzymać rozwój technologii? Co nas czeka, gdy inżynieria genetyczna pozwoli na hodowanie ludzi na szeroką skalę? Gdzie jest granica postępu technologicznego, o ile w ogóle taka granica istnieje? To ostatni moment na zadanie niektórych z tych pytań i szukanie na nie odpowiedzi. Natalia Hatalska mówi o najważniejszych problemach współczesnego świata: o samotności, manipulacji, dezinformacji, a także o technologii, która może przejąć nad nami kontrolę. Nie daje gotowych odpowiedzi, lecz poszerza perspektywę. Prowokuje do tego, byśmy gruntownie przemyśleli nasz stosunek do rzeczywistości XXI wieku. Natalia Hatalska – analityczka trendów, publicystka, założycielka i prezeska instytutu badań nad przyszłością infuture.institute. Zaliczana do dziesięciu najważniejszych autorytetów polskiego biznesu. Nagrodzona tytułem Digital Shaper w kategorii wizjoner – przyznawanym osobom, które mają ponadprzeciętny wkład w rozwój gospodarki cyfrowej w Polsce. „Financial Times” umieścił ją na liście New Europe 100 – stu osób z Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej, które zmieniają społeczeństwo, politykę i biznes, prezentując nowe podejście do dominujących problemów.

The true story of one woman's struggle to save her sons from radicalization by Chechen partisans, as told by a seasoned war reporter. In All Lara's Wars, the great events of the last half-century--the realignment of Eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union, and the rise in the Middle East of ISIS and its quest for a new Caliphate--converge in this account of a Chechen-Georgian family whose two sons become radicalized, and how their mother--Lara--travels to Syria by bus and at great risk, not to join them but to bring them home. By then, the older son is a high level commander and the younger son a respected soldier in ISIS's army. The story is told with a sense of wonder at the contemporary world and all the ways it resembles a primitive and violent land where all struggles are to the death, and there is an epic battle going on between forces of good and evil that cannot be understood other than as mythic and larger than life. Lara is a Kist--one of a tiny ethnicity that crossed the Caucasus mountains a century ago to settle in the remote Pankisi Gorge in northern Georgia, a peaceful and isolated paradise. She married a Chechen, moved to Grozny, and became the mother of two sons. When war came to Chechnya, she took her children home to the safe Georgian valley, and later sent them to Western Europe to live with their father--to protect them from the influence of the radical Islamic freedom fighters who had come to the Pankisi Gorge as refugees from the Chechnyan wars. As in all of Wojciech Jagielski's books, he tells here the story of any modern war, how the individual lives of civilians and combatants are obliterated in the sweep of the larger narrative--and how the humanity of these individual lives is revealed, and the price paid in human endurance and persistence and loss. Jagielski observes, listening to Lara and letting her story emerge through the filter of his literary skill. This unusual reportage tells us the facts of the Chechnyan wars and the reality of the Syrian war from the viewpoint of ISIS recruits, but it is also the true account of one ordinary family that became part of the larger tragedy that has claimed so many victims in recent years.

A riveting, deeply personal account of history in the making—from the president who inspired us to believe in the power of democracy #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAACP IMAGE AWARD NOMINEE • NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND PEOPLE NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post • Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times • NPR • The Guardian • Slate • Vox • The Economist • Marie Claire In the stirring first volume of his presidential memoirs, Barack Obama tells the story of his improbable odyssey from young man searching for his identity to leader of the free world, describing in strikingly personal detail both his political education and the landmark moments of the first term of his historic presidency—a time of dramatic transformation and turmoil. Obama takes readers on a compelling journey from his earliest political aspirations to the pivotal Iowa caucus victory that demonstrated the power of grassroots activism to the watershed night of November 4, 2008, when he was elected 44th president of the United States, becoming the first African American to hold the nation’s highest office. Reflecting on the presidency, he offers a unique and thoughtful exploration of both the awesome reach and the limits of presidential power, as well as singular insights into the dynamics of U.S. partisan politics and international diplomacy. Obama brings readers inside the Oval Office and the White House Situation Room, and to Moscow, Cairo, Beijing, and points beyond. We are privy to his thoughts as he assembles his cabinet, wrestles with a global financial crisis, takes the measure of Vladimir Putin, overcomes seemingly insurmountable odds to secure passage of the Affordable Care Act, clashes with generals about U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, tackles Wall Street reform, responds to the devastating Deepwater Horizon blowout, and authorizes Operation Neptune’s Spear, which leads to the death of Osama bin Laden. A Promised Land is extraordinarily intimate and introspective—the story of one man’s bet with history, the faith of a community organizer tested on the world stage. Obama is candid about the balancing act of running for office as a Black American, bearing the expectations of a generation buoyed by messages of “hope and change,” and meeting the moral challenges of high-stakes decision-making. He is frank about the forces that opposed him at home and abroad, open about how living in the White House affected his wife and daughters, and unafraid to reveal self-doubt and disappointment. Yet he never wavers from his belief that inside the great, ongoing American experiment, progress is always possible. This beautifully written and powerful book captures Barack Obama’s conviction that democracy is not a gift from on high but something founded on empathy and common understanding and built together, day by day.

To nie jest książka o modzie, to zaproszenie do podróży śladami naszych ubrań, a także do wnętrza siebie. Na końcu tej wyprawy zrozumiesz, jak ubierać się bardziej świadomie i być fairwzględem siebie, innych i planety. To uwalniający przewodnik po slow fashion, który zmieni twoje myślenie o modzie i własnej szafie. Przemysł modowy jest jedną z najbardziej zanieczyszczających środowisko gałęzi gospodarki. Co sekundę na wysypisko trafia śmieciarka wypełniona ubraniami. Nikogo już nie dziwią chińskie rzeki w najmodniejszych kolorach sezonu, wysuszone jeziora, góry odzieżowych śmieci i słońce widoczne jedynie na telebimie. Szkodzi to zarówno przyrodzie, jak i milionom prawdziwych fashion victims – rolnikom, szwaczkom, dzieciom. Fast fashion dewastuje nie tylko naturę, ale i całe społeczeństwa. Cierpią nasze poczucie wartości i budżet, wypacza się relacja z ciałem i ubraniami. Możemy to jednak zmienić i nie trzeba tego robić w pokutnym worze ze zgrzebnego lnu. Modą można się cieszyć i bawić, łącząc to z misją ekologiczną i społeczną! Katarzyna Zajączkowska bacznie przygląda się przemysłowi modowemu i rozprawia z mitami na temat stylu, kanonów urody i presji social mediów. Dzięki jej prostym radom dowiesz się: – jak wykonać pierwszy krok w kierunku slow fashion i wreszcie odgruzować szafę, – jak korzystać z mody i robić zakupy odpowiedzialnie, nie dając się nabrać na greenwashing, – jak zbudować stylową i autentyczną garderobę bez pogoni za sezonowymi trendami. Nie musimy zaprzeczać, że ubrania są dla nas ważne, że chcemy wyglądać i czuć się dobrze, ale odważmy się na fashion revolution w naszych głowach i szafach!

From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Inevitable— a sweeping vision oftechnology as a living force that can expand our individual potential This provocative book introduces a brand-new view of technology. It suggests that technology as a whole is not a jumble of wires and metal but a living, evolving organism that has its own unconscious needs and tendencies. Kevin Kelly looks out through the eyes of this global technological system to discover "what it wants." He uses vivid examples from the past to trace technology's long course and then follows a dozen trajectories of technology into the near future to project where technology is headed. This new theory of technology offers three practical lessons: By listening to what technology wants we can better prepare ourselves and our children for the inevitable technologies to come. By adopting the principles of pro-action and engagement, we can steer technologies into their best roles. And by aligning ourselves with the long-term imperatives of this near-living system, we can capture its full gifts. Written in intelligent and accessible language, this is a fascinating, innovative, and optimistic look at how humanity and technology join to produce increasing opportunities in the world and how technology can give our lives greater meaning.

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AN ADAM SAVAGE BOOK CLUB PICK The book-length answer to anyone who ever put their hand up in math class and asked, “When am I ever going to use this in the real world?” “Fun, informative, and relentlessly entertaining, Humble Pi is a charming and very readable guide to some of humanity's all-time greatest miscalculations—that also gives you permission to feel a little better about some of your own mistakes.” —Ryan North, author of How to Invent Everything Our whole world is built on math, from the code running a website to the equations enabling the design of skyscrapers and bridges. Most of the time this math works quietly behind the scenes . . . until it doesn’t. All sorts of seemingly innocuous mathematical mistakes can have significant consequences. Math is easy to ignore until a misplaced decimal point upends the stock market, a unit conversion error causes a plane to crash, or someone divides by zero and stalls a battleship in the middle of the ocean. Exploring and explaining a litany of glitches, near misses, and mathematical mishaps involving the internet, big data, elections, street signs, lotteries, the Roman Empire, and an Olympic team, Matt Parker uncovers the bizarre ways math trips us up, and what this reveals about its essential place in our world. Getting it wrong has never been more fun.

The Nature of Technology will change the way you think about this fundamental subject forever. W. Brian Arthur's many years of thinking and writing about technology have culminated in a unique understanding of his subject. Here he examines the nature of technology itself: what is it and how does it evolve? Giving rare insights into the evolution of specific technologies and a new framework for thinking about others, every sentence points to some further truth and fascination. At a time when we are ever more reliant on technological solutions for the world's problems, it is extraordinary how little we actually understand the processes that lead to innovation and invention. Until now. This will be a landmark book that will define its subject, and inspire people to think about technology in depth for the very first time.

This book focuses on the economic aspects of intellectual property (IP). It includes considerations of the wider category of intangible assets. However, the primary focus is devoted to patents which the author argues are the most vivid example of the Tragedy of Intangible Abundance (TIA). TIA touches upon a key issue in the contemporary economy. On the one hand, there is an enormous supply of IP, yet, on the other hand, such an abundance does not necessarily solve existing issues but rather creates new ones as well. This book elaborates on the reasons for the emergence of TIA and its consequences. The author uses clear metaphors to explain very complex issues. The book provides a valuable and interdisciplinary analysis of the field and offers practical solutions. It is based on the data collected by the author during the qualitative research he conducted among a group of start-ups. It presents guidance on determining which instrument is the most efficient for a particular situation. It also provides arguments for decision-makers and their advisors as to why a more open approach towards intellectual property would be more beneficial under many circumstances in the contemporary economy. While universal issues are addressed, the author distinguishes the European perspective too. The book is written in a clear and concise style and covers all of the crucial aspects of IP management. It will find an audience among scholars of economics and business.
