Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - We are often expected to trust technologies, and how they are used, even if we have good reason not to. There is no room to mistrust. Exploring relations between trust and mistrust in the context of data, AI and technology at large, this book defines a process of 'trustification' used by governments, corporations, researchers and the media to legitimize exploitation and increase inequalities. Aimed at social scientists, computer scientists and public policy, the book aptly reveals how trust is operationalized and converted into a metric in order to extract legitimacy from populations and support the furthering of technology to manage society.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book outlines a new conception of the cyborg in terms of consciousness as the parallax gap between physical and digital worlds. The contemporary subject constructs its own internal reality in the interplay of the Virtual and the Real. Reinterpreting the work of Slavoj ¿i¿ek and Gilles Deleuze in terms of the psychological and ontological construction of the digital, alongside the philosophy of quantum physics, this book offers a challenge to materialist perspectives in the fluid cyberspace that is ever permeating our lives. The inclusion of the subject in its own epistemological framework establishes a model for an engaged spectatorship of reality. Through the analysis of online media, digital art, avatars, computer games and science fiction, a new model of cyborg culture reveals the opportunities for critical and creative interventions in the contemporary subjective experience, promoting an awareness of the parallax position we all occupy between physical and digital worlds.

Rare and remarkable autograph book compiled by West Virginia senator and industrialist Henry Gassaway Davis (1823-1916) containing 289 historic autographs, including seven presidents, seven vice presidents, and scores of members of the Senate, House of Representatives, and presidential cabinets, as well as a few other 19th-century notables. Octavo, bound in full crushed levant morocco by the Harcourt Bindery with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands, gilt ruling to the front and rear panels, gilt-scrolled inner dentelles stamp-signed by the Harcourt Bindery, all edges gilt, title page printed in gilt. With Davis' ownership signature and subsequently that of his daughter to the title page, "H. G . Davis, 1872" and "Grace T. Davis, 1887" (Miss Davis was 18 in 1887). The book has approximately 300 unnumbered pages but only the first 144 (which were numbered in pencil by hand at some point) include theÂautographs, generally three on each side of a page, most often including the person's home state, or, in the case of cabinet members, their office title. The highlights of the album are the signatures of seven presidents, representing a half-century of American politics: U. S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison (twice), William McKinley, and Theodore Roosevelt. Also included are seven vice presidents - Hannibal Hamlin, Schuyler Colfax, Henry Wilson, William A. Wheeler, Levi P. Morton, Garrett A. Hobart, and Charles W. Fairbanks - and one first lady, Frances F. Cleveland. With the later presidents'Âautographs are several examples of partial cabinets, including: Harrison (Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster, Secretary of War Stephen B. Elkins, Attorney General William H. H. Miller, Postmaster General John Wanamaker, Secretary of the Navy Benjamin F. Tracy, Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble, and Secretary of Agriculture Jeremiah M. Rusk), Cleveland (Secretary of State Walter Q. Gresham, Secretary of the Treasury John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Navy Daniel S. Lamont, Attorney General Richard Olney, Postmaster General Wilson S. Bissell, Secretary of the Navy Hilary A. Herbert , Secretary of the Interior Hoke Smith, and Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Morton), McKinley (Secretary of State John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gage, Secretary of War Russel A. Alger, Attorney General Joseph McKenna, Postmaster General James A. Gary, Secretary of the Navy John D. Long, Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, and Secretary of the Interior Cornelius N. Bliss), and Roosevelt (Secretary of State John Hay, Attorney General Philander C. Knox, Postmasters General Charles Emory Smith and Henry C. Payne, and Secretary of the Interior Ethan A. Hitchcock). Others significant names include influential members of the House and Senate, many of whom were celebrated veterans of the Civil War. These include: Hamilton Fish, William M. Evarts, Charles Sumner, David Davis, Simon Cameron, James G. Blaine, George S. Boutwell, Augustus H. Garland, Roscoe Conkling, Ambrose Burnside, John A. Logan, John B. Gordon, Carl Schurz, Wade Hampton, John T. Morgan, Henry W. Slocum, and William Mahone. Interestingly, one page features the autographs of James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, and famed agnostic lecturer Robert G. Ingersoll. In fine condition. A remarkable collection spanning half a century of American politics.
