    Content: In Algorithms of Oppression, Safiya Umoja Noble challenges the idea that search engines like Google offer an equal playing field for all forms of ideas, identities, and activities. Data discrimination is a real social problem; Noble argues that the combination of private interests in promoting certain sites, along with the monopoly status of a relatively small number of Internet search engines, leads to a biased set of search algorithms that privilege whiteness and discriminate against people of color, specifically women of color. Through an analysis of textual and media searches as well as extensive research on paid online advertising, Noble exposes a culture of racism and sexism in the way discoverability is created online. As search engines and their related companies grow in importance—operating as a source for email, a major vehicle for primary and secondary school learning, and beyond—understanding and reversing these disquieting trends and discriminatory practices is of utmost importance. An original, surprising and, at times, disturbing account of bias on the internet, Algorithms of Oppression contributes to our understanding of how racism is created, maintained, and disseminated in the 21st century.

    Content: Cinematic Urbanism presents an urban history of modernity and postmodernity through the lens of cinema while arguing that urbanism cannot be understood outside the space of the celluloid city. Nezar AlSayyad traces the dissolution of the boundary between real and reel through time and space via a series of films that represent different modernities. He contrasts the "rational" European city of early twentieth-century industrial modernity as portrayed by Berlin: Symphony of a Big City (1927) with its American counterpart in Modern Times (1936). He illustrates the different forms of small town life and an urbanizing modernity across the Atlantic as exemplified by Cinema Paradiso (1989) and It's a Wonderful Life (1946). Using Metropolis (1927) and Brazil (1985), he shows how utopian ideals harbour within them their dystopian realities, while Jacques Tati's nostalgia for tradition in Mon Oncle (1958) and Playtime (1967) reveals a cynical modernity and a rebelling against its idealism.

    Content: Innovation, Kritik, kritische Auseinandersetzung mit "Innovation" .. "or forty years, innovation has been the hottest buzzword in business. But what if the benefits of innovation have been exaggerated, and our obsession with the new has distracted us from the work that matters most? It's hard to avoid innovation these days. Nearly every product gets marketed as being disruptive, whether it's a new technology or a new toothbrush. But in this manifesto on the state of American work, historians of technology Lee Vinsel and Andrew Russell argue that our focus on shiny new things has made us poorer, less safe, and--ironically--less innovative. Drawing on years of original research and reporting, Russell and Vinsel show how our fixation on innovation has harmed every corner of the economy. Corporations have spent millions hiring chief innovation officers while their core businesses tanked.
    Content: Computer science programs have focused on programming and development even though the overwhelming majority of jobs are in IT and maintenance. Suburban sprawl has saddled cities with expensive infrastructure and piles of deferred maintenance that they can't afford to fix. And sometimes, innovation even kills--like in 2018, when a Miami bridge hailed for its innovative design collapsed onto a highway and killed six people. Vinsel and Russell tell the at-times humorous, at-times alarming story of how we devalued the work that keeps our world going--and in so doing, wrecked our economy, left our public infrastructure derelict, and lined the pockets of consultants who combine the ego of Silicon Valley with the worst of Wall Street's greed. They offer a compelling plan for how we can shift our focus in resources away from the pursuit of growth at all costs, and back toward the people and technologies underpinning so much of modern life.
    Content: For anyone concerned by the crumbling state of our roads, bridges, and airports, and the direction our economy is headed, The Innovation Delusion is a deeply necessary re-evaluation of a trend we can still disrupt"--

    Content: We have always been conscious of the wait for life-changing messages, whether it be the time it takes to receive a text message from your love, for a soldier's family to learn news from the front, or for a space probe to deliver data from the far reaches of the solar system. In this book in praise of wait times, award-winning author Jason Farman passionately argues that the delay between call and answer has always been an important part of the message. Traveling backward from our current era of Twitter and texts, Farman shows how societies have worked to eliminate waiting in communication and how they have interpreted those times' meanings. Exploring seven eras and objects of waiting--including pneumatic mail tubes in New York, Elizabethan wax seals, and Aboriginal Australian message sticks--Farman offers a new mindset for waiting. In a rebuttal to the demand for instant communication, Farman makes a powerful case for why good things can come to those who wait

    Uniform Title: The conscience of a Liberal 〈dt.〉
    Content: Acht Jahre Bush-Regierung standen am Ende einer Entwicklung, welche die Ungleichheit in den USA auf das Niveau der 20er-Jahre zurückgeworfen hat. Diese provokante These durchzieht das Buch des Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträgers Paul Krugman. Ausgehend vom so genannten Goldenen Zeitalter beschreibt er, wie die Vereinigten Staaten bis zur Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts in einem langen Prozess die sozialen Verwerfungen dieser Epoche überwanden: Der entstehende Wohlfahrtsstaat schuf eine breite, politisch aktive Mittelschicht. Dieses Erbe der Demokraten sei, so Krugmann, in der Phase konservativer Regierungen bewusst verspielt worden. Er legt dar, warum die Politik nach Bush umgehend aktiv für das Wiedererstarken dieser Mittelschichtgesellschaft eintreten muss.(Quelle: Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung / Internet).

Er legt dar, warum die Politik nach Bush umgehend aktiv für das Wiedererstarken dieser Mittelschichtgesellschaft eintreten muss. (Quelle: Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung / Internet) - Die Konservative Bewegung spaltet die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Davon ist Paul Krugman überzeugt. Auf seiner Suche nach stichfesten Beweisen beleuchtet der Autor schlaglichtartig die US-Geschichte der letzten 100 Jahre. Der grundlegende Gedanke: Die Gegenwart verstehen und die Zukunft gestalten kann nur, wer sich der Vergangenheit stellt. Dabei macht der Autor keinen Hehl daraus, dass er politisch auf Seiten der Demokraten steht. Heute sieht Krugman die Vereinigten Staaten in einer vergleichbaren Lage wie vor dem New Deal drei Jahre nach dem Börsencrash von 1929. Damals hatte US-Präsident Franklin D. Roosevelt die Steuern erhöht, um Wirtschafts- und Sozialreformen für mehr Gleichheit durchzuführen. Krugman wiederum zeigt sich davon überzeugt, dass erst dieser aktive Eingriff des Staates eine breite Mittelschicht schuf.Als neokonservative Republikaner wie Ronald Reagan oder George W. Bush schließlich an die Macht gekommen waren und die Gewerkschaften zurückgedrängt hatten, ging die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich dramatisch auseinander. So sieht Krugman die heutigen, horrenden Spitzengehälter als fassbares Ergebnis neokonservativer Politik. Zudem unterstellt Krugman der Konservativen Bewegung, dass sie ihre wahren Ziele hinter populären Forderungen verberge. Wer gegen Abtreibung stimme, bekomme in Wahrheit nur die Senkung der Steuern auf Vermögenserträge, lautet einer der schweren Vorwürfe. Bei seinem Streifzug durch die Geschichte zeigt sich Krugman oft detailversessen und bringt es ganz und gar nicht "straight to the point". Was die Präsidentschaftswahl im November 2008 betrifft, sieht der parteiische Wirtschaftsprofessor und Kolumnist der New York Times den Stern der Republikaner sinken -- und fordert im Gegenzug einen zweiten New Deal. Doch wenn Krugman in seinem Buch die Stunde der Demokraten schlagen hört, geht es nicht nur um fundierte Überzeugungen, sondern dann ist auch der Wunsch Vater des Gedankens. --- Herwig Slezak

    Content: "Why abortion is a men's issue. By focusing on the role men play in unwanted pregnancy, Ejaculate Responsibly gets us out of the destructive loop centered on issues like when life begins and the injustice of legislating women's bodies and presents a powerfully fair and effective way out of the abortion impasse. Highly readable, funny, and unflinching, the book's 28 arguments walk readers through the basics of fertility (men are 50 times more fertile than women). The unfair burden placed on women when it comes to preventing pregnancy (90% of the birth control market is for women). The wrongheaded stigmas around birth control for men (condoms make sex less pleasurable, vasectomies are scary and emasculating). And the harsh reality that men, who are fertile 100% of the time, take so little responsibility for preventing pregnancy. In a post-Roe world, this kind of negligence--an irresponsible ejaculation--is tragically wrong"--

    Content: "This companion collects original entries that engage cyberpunk's diverse 'angles' and its proliferation in our life worlds. With technology seamlessly integrated into our life and our selves, and social systems veering towards globalization and corporatization, cyberpunk has become a ubiquitous cultural formation that dominates our 21st century techno-digital landscapes. To put it directly: we are living in inescapable cyberpunk futures bleeding into the interstices of our present, and these cyberpunk realities intersect with our mainstream culture at every possible angle. The Routledge Companion to Cyberpunk Culture traces cyberpunk through its historical developments as a literary science fiction subgenre to its spread into other media such as comics, film, television and video games. Moreover, seeing cyberpunk as a general cultural practice, the Companion provides insights into photography, music, fashion, and activism. Cyberpunk, so the chapters presented here argue, is integrated with other critical theoretical tenets of our times, such as posthumanism, the Anthropocene, animality, or empire. And lastly, cyberpunk is a vehicle that lends itself to the rise of new futurisms, occupying a variety of positions in our regionally diverse reality and thus linking as much as differentiating our perspectives on a globalized technoscientific world. An international range of contributors examine with the cultural formation of cyberpunk from micro-level analyses of example texts to macro-level debates of movements, providing readers with a snapshot of cyberpunk culture and also cyberpunk as culture"--
