The Machine Age - Robert Skidelsky - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A sweeping history of and meditation on humanity''s relationship with machines, showing how we got here and what happens next Faith in technological fixes for our problems is waning. Automation, which promised relief from toil, has reactivated the long-standing fear of job redundancy. Information technology, meant to liberate us from traditional authority, is placing unprecedented powers of surveillance and control in the hands of a purely secular Big Brother. And for the first time, artificial intelligence threatens anthropogenic disaster – disaster caused by our own activities. Scientists join imaginative writers in warning us of the fate of Icarus, whose wings melted because he flew too close to the sun.This book tells the story of our fractured relationship with machines from humanity’s first tools down to the present and into the future. It raises the crucial question of why some parts of the world developed a ‘machine civilisation’ and not others, and traces the interactions between capitalism and technology, and between science and religion, in the making of the modern world.Taking in the peaks of philosophy and triumphs of science, the foundation of economics and speculations of fiction, Robert Skidelsky embarks on a bold intellectual journey through the evolution of our understanding of technology and what this means for our lives and politics. ‘Unless we understand technology as a system of ideas rather than as a necessity,’ he writes, ‘we will be powerless to choose which technology is best suited to our needs and purposes.’

Iron Kingdom - Christopher Clark - Bog - Penguin Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Winner of the Wolfson History Prize, Christopher Clark''s Iron Kingdom: The Rise and Downfall of Prussia 1600-1947 is a compelling account of a country that played a pivotal role in Europe''s fortunes and fundamentally shaped our world. Prussia began as a medieval backwater, but transformed itself into a major European power and the force behind the creation of the German empire, until it was finally abolished by the Allies after the Second World War. With great flair and authority, Christopher Clark describes Prussia''s great battles, dynastic marriages and astonishing reversals of fortune, its brilliant and charismatic leaders from the Hohenzollerns of Brandenburg to Bismarck and Frederick the Great, the military machine and the progressive, enlightened values on which it was built. ''Fascinating ... masterly ... littered with intriguing detail and wry observation'' Richard Overy, Daily Telegraph ''A terrific book ... the definitive history of this much-maligned state'' Daily Telegraph Books of the Year ''You couldn''t have the triumph and the tragedy of Prussia better told'' Observer ''A magisterial history of Europe''s only extinct power'' Financial Times ''Exemplary ... an illuminating, profoundly satisfying work of history'' The New York Times Christopher Clark is a lecturer in Modern European History at St Catharine''s College, University of Cambridge. He is also the author of Kaiser Wilhelm II: A Life in Power.
