Silicon Valley gets all the credit for digital creativity, but this account of the pre-PC world, when computing meant more than using mature consumer technology, challenges that triumphalism.
The invention of the personal computer liberated users from corporate mainframes and brought computing into homes. But throughout the 1960s and 1970s, a diverse group of teachers and students working together on academic computing systems conducted many of the activities we now recognize as personal and social computing. Their networks were centered in New Hampshire, Minnesota, and Illinois, but they connected far-flung users. Joy Rankin draws on detailed records to explore how users exchanged messages, programmed music and poems, fostered communities, and developed computer games like The Oregon Trail. These unsung pioneers helped shape our digital world, just as much as the inventors, garage hobbyists, and eccentric billionaires of Palo Alto.
By imagining computing as an interactive commons, the early denizens of the digital realm seeded today's debate about whether the internet should be a public utility and laid the groundwork for the concept of net neutrality. Rankin offers a radical precedent for a more democratic digital culture, and new models for the next generation of activists, educators, coders, and makers.

A bestselling author, neuroscientist, and computer engineer unveils a theory of intelligence that will revolutionize our understanding of the brain and the future of AI. For all of neuroscience's advances, we've made little progress on its biggest question: How do simple cells in the brain create intelligence? Jeff Hawkins and his team discovered that the brain uses maplike structures to build a model of the world-not just one model, but hundreds of thousands of models of everything we know. This discovery allows Hawkins to answer important questions about how we perceive the world, why we have a sense of self, and the origin of high-level thought. A Thousand Brains heralds a revolution in the understanding of intelligence. It is a big-think book, in every sense of the word.
Wie entsteht eigentlich Intelligenz? Eine Kernfrage, auf die die moderne Hirnforschung bis heute keine befriedigende Antwort geben kann. Für den Neurowissenschaftler Jeff Hawkins ist der Grund offensichtlich: weil wir ein falsches Bild von der Funktionsweise des menschlichen Gehirns haben. Deshalb verfolgt er in A Thousand Brains einen radikal neuen Ansatz, indem er die hartnäckigsten Probleme der Neurowissenschaften neu bewertet und spannende Antworten auf die wichtigsten Fragen gibt: Wie werden unsere vielfältigen Sinneseindrücke zu einer einzigen Erfahrung zusammengeführt? Was geschieht, wenn wir denken? Wie können zwei Menschen aufgrund der gleichen Beobachtungen zu unterschiedlichen Überzeugungen gelangen? Und warum haben wir eigentlich ein Ich- Bewusstsein, eine Selbstwahrnehmung? Ein wegweisendes Buch, das aufzeigt, wie menschliche Intelligenz funktioniert und wie wir dieses Wissen im Hinblick auf künstliche Intelligenz sinnvoll für uns nutzen können.
Andrew J. Stewart convincingly shows that emergency software patches and new security products cannot provide the solution to threats such as computer hacking, viruses, software vulnerabilities, and electronic spying. Profound underlying structural problems must first be understood, confronted, and then addressed.
A Vulnerable System delivers a long view of the history of information security, beginning with the creation of the first digital computers during the Cold War. From the key institutions of the so-called military industrial complex in the 1950s to Silicon Valley start-ups in the 2020s, the relentless pursuit of new technologies has come at great cost. The absence of knowledge regarding the history of information security has caused the lessons of the past to be forsaken for the novelty of the present, and has led us to be collectively unable to meet the needs of the current day. From the very beginning of the information age, claims of secure systems have been crushed by practical reality.
The myriad risks to technology, Stewart reveals, cannot be addressed without first understanding how we arrived at this moment. A Vulnerable System is an enlightening and sobering history of a topic that affects crucial aspects of our lives.
