Virtual Society: The Metaverse and the New Frontiers of Human Experience
"Brought to you by Penguin. Is the metaverse a brave new world? An immersive digital playground? The next generation of online gaming? Or just the latest manifestation of our human tendency to create other realities? Herman Narula argues that it is all of these things. His vision of the metaverse, deeply rooted in history and psychology, looks to the Egyptians, whose conception of death inspired them to build the pyramids, to modern-day sports fans whose fantasy leagues are as competitive as the real thing, and finds that humanity has always sought to supplement our day-to-day lives with a rich diversity of alternative immersive experiences. Rigorously researched, passionately argued, and written by a tech founder and creator of digital worlds, Virtual Society reveals why the metaverse offers a new universe of ideas that offers users unprecedented opportunities to create, explore and find meaning. It's an essential guide for anyone who wants to get beyond superficial headlines and understand the true shape of our virtual future. ©2022 Herman Narula(P)2022 Penguin Audio"

Stone by Stone: The Magnificent History in New England's Stone Walls
"There once may have been 250,000 miles of stone walls in America's Northeast, stretching farther than the distance to the moon. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story. Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorson's hands they live and breathe. Millions of years ago, New England's stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into 'linear landfills,' a place to hold the stones. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, often exceeding that of the land and buildings combined, stone walls became a defining element of the Northeast's landscape, and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy. Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes."

"El phishing es un tipo de ingeniería social en el que un atacante envía un mensaje fraudulento (por ejemplo, suplantado la identidad de una entidad bancaria) diseñado para engañar a una persona para que revele información confidencial al atacante, o bien para implementar software malicioso en el equipo informático de la víctima con el objetivo de secuestrar sus datos. Los ciberdelincuentes suelen intentar robar nombres de usuario, contraseñas, datos de tarjetas de crédito, información de cuentas bancarias y otras credenciales. Utilizan la información robada con fines maliciosos, como la piratería informática, el robo de identidad o el robo de dinero directamente de cuentas bancarias y tarjetas de crédito. La información robada también puede venderse en la web oscura y otros mercados clandestinos frecuentados por los ciberdelincuentes. Este tipo de estafas es cada vez más sofisticada. Las estafas de phishing han existido prácticamente desde los inicios de Internet, y no parece que vayan a desaparecer en un futuro próximo. Afortunadamente, hay formas efectivas de evitar convertirse en una víctima. En este audiolibro vas a aprender mucho más sobre el phishing y a cómo sortearlo de manera eficaz."
