Zustand: Very Good. : En el año 2032, Interconnect, una supercomputadora de inteligencia artificial avanzada, emerge como un faro de esperanza para la humanidad, prometiendo un futuro utópico guiado por algoritmos impecables y conectividad 24/7 para los ciudadanos. Jared Rohde, un académico desilusionado que busca un significado, presencia el inquietante auge del control algorítmico sobre el comportamiento humano. Dividido entre dos realidades, Jared experimenta una agitación psíquica al verse arrastrado a un mundo curado por máquinas que fomenta narrativas de odio y división. Al conocer a un grupo diverso de resistentes "orgánicos", Jared se entera de los métodos diabólicos de Interconnect, orquestados por un presidente hambriento de poder y sustitutos humanos. Juntos, se esfuerzan por interrumpir la oscura influencia de la máquina y su catastrófico impacto en la humanidad. Descubriendo un espacio potencial dentro de la realidad curada que eleva la conciencia humana, Jared se convierte en un cruzado a pesar de sus propias luchas con la psicosis y las experiencias de realidad dividida. En su búsqueda de la verdad y la esperanza, Jared se enfrenta al desalentador reto de liberarse del control de Interconnect sobre la sociedad.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In this unique book Scott A. Bollens combines personal narrative with academic analysis in telling the story of inflammatory nationalistic and ethnic conflict in nine cities ? Jerusalem, Beirut, Belfast, Johannesburg, Nicosia, Sarajevo, Mostar, Bilbao, and Barcelona. Reporting on seventeen years of research and over 240 interviews with political leaders, planners, architects, community representatives, and academics, he blends personal reflections, reportage from a wealth of original interviews, and the presentation of hard data in a multidimensional and interdisciplinary exploration of these urban environments of damage, trauma, healing, and repair.City and Soul in Divided Societies reveals what it is like living and working in these cities, going inside the head of the researcher. This approach extends the reader?s understanding of these places and connects more intimately with the lived urban experience. Bollens observes that a city disabled by nationalistic strife looks like a callous landscape of securitized space, divisions and wounds, frozen in time and in place. Yet, the soul in these cities perseveres.Written for general readers and academic specialists alike, City and Soul in Divided Societies integrates facts, opinions, photographs, and observations in original ways in order to illuminate the substantial challenges of living in, and governing, polarized and unsettled cities. …

Neuware - Would you want to re-live one of your memories Would you be interested in living the memory of another person A neuroscientist regenerates lost memory in 2033, promising to change the world for millions afflicted by cognitive decline. A solution to one of our saddest diseases, we had little idea what type of society this technological achievement would inspire over the next ten years.A virtual reality company, Translucid, obtains the technology, determined to increase its customer base and revenue. When its profit-motivated owners release MemoryBank, the public is entranced with the idea of re-living their past. Yet differences between customers' hazy remembrances and Translucid's precise re-creations create unsettling split-reality confusion.When MemoryPool is then created to enable customers to live the memories of others, it becomes an irresistible recreational plaything.

Technicians constantly add enhancements to appeal to diverse demands, opening restored memory to manipulation and repressive forces.Far from controlling its own destiny, Translucid becomes an experimental platform for a group with darker designs for American society. Users no longer access the memories of others-they are captured by fabricated experiences that arouse hatred and grievance.Memory Pool is a near-future story about the intricacies of remembering and the disturbing effects of technological intrusion into the human psyche.
