Tools and Weapons - Carol Ann Browne - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM BOOK CLUB PICK* ''A clear, compelling guide to some of the most pressing debates in technology today.'' Bill Gates ''A colourful and insightful insiders'' view of how technology is both empowering us and threatening us. From privacy to cyberattacks, this timely book is a useful guide for how to navigate the digital future.'' Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Steve Jobs From Microsoft''s President and one of the tech industry''s wisest thinkers, a frank and thoughtful reckoning with how to balance enormous promise and existential risk as the digitization of everything accelerates. With new chapters on the pandemic and beyond. __________ Microsoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: when your technology changes the world, you bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create. This might seem uncontroversial, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. While sweeping digital transformation holds great promise, we have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weapon, and new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future, and governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation.In Tools and Weapons , Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne bring us a captivating narrative from the cockpit of one of the world''s largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time. These are challenges that come with no pre-existing playbook, including privacy, cybercrime and cyberwar, social media, the moral conundrums of artificial intelligence, big tech''s relationship to inequality, and the challenges for democracy, far and near. While in no way a self-glorifying "Microsoft memoir," the book pulls back the curtain remarkably wide onto some of the company''s most crucial recent decision points as it strives to protect the hopes technology offers against the very real threats it also presents. There are huge ramifications for communities and countries, and Brad Smith provides a thoughtful and urgent contribution to that effort.__________In Tools and Weapons , Brad Smith takes us behind the scenes on some of the biggest stories to hit the tech industry in the past decade and some of the biggest threats we face. From Edward Snowden''s NSA leak to the NHS WannaCry ransomware attack, this book is essential reading to understand what''s happening in the world around us.Praise for Tools and Weapons : ''The de facto ambassador for the technology industry at large.'' The New York Times ''In Tools and Weapons , Brad and Carol Ann Browne wrestle with some of the world''s toughest technology challenges with common sense and valuable insight reflecting their inside experience. The ideas in Tools and Weapons won''t solve all our problems, but they''re a very good place to start.'' - Reed Hastings, CEO, Netflix ''Tools and Weapons is a glimpse behind the curtain as Microsoft reckoned with the Snowden revelations, defended against the vicious cyberattacks, and took both the Obama and Trump administrations to court.'' - Rolling Stone

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil - John Berendt - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

Genteel society ladies who compare notes on their husbands'' suicides. A hilariously foul-mouthed black drag queen. A voodoo priestess who works her roots in the graveyard at midnight. A morose inventor who owns a bottle of poison powerful enough to kill everyone in town. A prominent antiques dealer who hangs a Nazi flag from his window to disrupt the shooting of a movie. And a redneck gigolo whose conquests describe him as a ''walking streak of sex''.These are some of the real residents of Savannah, Georgia, a city whose eccentric mores are unerringly observed - and whose dirty linen is gleefully aired - in this utterly irresistible book. At once a true-crime murder story and a hugely entertaining and deliciously perverse travelogue, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is as bracing and intoxicating as half-a-dozen mint juleps.

The Forbidden Garden of Leningrad - Simon Parkin - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

From the winner of the 2023 Wingate Literary Prize comes a fascinating and moving untold story of the Leningrad scientists who risked everything for the future of humanity *An Economist Book of the Year* ''An astonishing story brilliantly told . . . It is as moving as it is gripping to read'' Jonathan Dimbleby, author of Endgame: 1944 ''A richly researched and meticulously observed account of a little-explored corner of 20th-century history'' Guardian ''A fantastically well-researched history of science and sacrifice saturated in drama'' i In the summer of 1941, German troops surrounded the Russian city of Leningrad - now St Petersburg - and began the longest blockade in recorded history. By the most conservative estimates, the siege would claim the lives of three-quarters of a million people. Most died of starvation.At the centre of the embattled city stood a converted palace that housed the greatest living plant library ever amassed - the world''s first seed bank. After attempts to evacuate the collection failed, and as supplies dwindled, the scientists responsible faced a terrible decision: should they distribute the specimens to the starving population, or preserve them in the hope that they held the key to ending global famine?Drawing on previously unseen sources, The Forbidden Garden tells the remarkable and moving story of the botanists who remained at the Plant Institute during the darkest days of the siege, risking their lives in the name of science. ''A compelling account . . . a remarkable work of literary exhumation. The first full account of the Plant Institute in any language, it''s a fitting testimony to an extraordinary project and the bravery of the ordinary individuals who kept it going'' Telegraph ''A beautifully-written account of one of the most extraordinary and little-known episodes of the Second World War -- a scientific feat and act of collective self-sacrifice the consequences of which continue to be felt today'' Adam Higginbotham, author of Challenger ''A gripping, original and important story of courage and science in wartime'' Roland Philipps, author of A Spy Named Orphan

The Unfamiliar Garden - Benjamin Percy - Bog - Hodder & Stoughton - Plusbog.dk

''Debris from a comet drops a fabulously valuable new metal . . . turning it into a bloody, brawling boomtown. Great characters, fine writing, totally engrossing'' - International bestselling author Stephen King on The Ninth Metal Named a Most Anticipated SFF Fiction Book by New Scientist It began with a comet. They called it Cain, a wandering star that passed by Earth, illuminating the night with a swampy green light and twinning the sky by day with two suns. A year later, Earth spun through the debris field the comet left behind. Suddenly, hundreds of thousands of meteors plummeted into the atmosphere, destroying swaths of electrical grids, leaving shores of beaches filled with deceased sea life, and setting acres of land ablaze. It was then, they say, that the sky fell. It was then that Jack lost Mia.Five years after the disappearance of his daughter, Jack has fallen. Once an accomplished professor of botany, he''s now a shell of a man who has all but withdrawn from life. Nora, his ex-wife, has thrown herself into her investigative work. Separately, they have each bandaged over the hole Mia left behind.Just as Jack is uncovering a new form of deadly parasitic fungus in his lab, Nora is assigned to investigate the cases of ritualistic murders dotting Seattle. The rituals consist of etchings - crosshatches are carved into bodies and eyes are scooped out of their sockets. The attackers appear to be possessed.It only takes a moment - for a sickness to infect, for a person to be killed, for a child to be lost. When Nora enlists Jack to identify the cause of this string of vicious deaths, Jack is quick to help. Together, they fight to keep their moments - the unexpected laughter, the extraordinary discoveries, the chance that Mia could come back home - but they find that what they''re up against defies all logic, and what they have to do to save the world will change every life forever. PRAISE FOR THE COMET CYCLE ''When Benjamin Percy publishes a novel, I have got to read that novel. The Ninth Metal continues his streak of thrilling, incisive genre bending goodness. Audacious and intelligent and exactly what I was dying to read'' Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling on The Ninth Metal ''Whether you choose to think of him as the Elmore Leonard of rural Minnesota or the Stephen King of Science Fiction, Percy-with his extraordinary and unrelenting eye-dishes up humanity like some kind of otherworldly blue plate special, at once deeply familiar and wildly new'' Margaret Stohl, No. 1 New York Times Bestselling Author on The Ninth Metal ''Take one part dystopia, one part sci-fi, two parts apocalypse, then ride them roughshod through a bleak and bloody western, and it still wouldn''t get close to what Ben Percy does here, which is blow open the core of humanity''s dark heart'' Marlon James, Booker Prize winning author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf on The Ninth Metal ''Masterful . . . Combines a missing-person case, romantic reconciliation, and a riveting sci-fi what-if . . . A thoroughly satisfying near-future glimpse of both disaster and salvation'' Publishers Weekly '' Terrifying, entertaining, and thought-provoking. . . something for everyone, science fiction fans and mystery fans alike'' Kirkus Reviews
