Zonder stil te staan bij de gevolgen heeft de wereld de producten en services van vier reusachtige bedrijven omarmd. Google, Facebook, Apple en Amazon presenteren zich als voorvechters van individualisme, efficiëntie en diversiteit, maar ondertussen leiden hun algoritmes tot eenheidsworst, privacyschending en een overdosis comfort. Het resultaat is een onstabiele, bekrompen en slecht geïnformeerde wereld waarin geen ruimte is voor introspectie. Een wereld die niet zelf nadenkt. Ontzielde w...

O futebol é mais do que um esporte, ou mesmo um modo de vida; abrange questões complexas que ultrapassam a arte do jogo. Envolve interesses reais - capazes de arruinar regimes políticos e deflagrar movimentos de libertação. Os clubes de futebol espelham classes sociais e ideologias políticas, e freqüentemente inspiram uma devoção mais intensa que as religiões. Para realizar esse amplo e perspicaz trabalho de reportagem, Franklin Foer viajou o mundo - da Itália ao Irã, do Brasil à Bósnia, a...

可悲的是，在大數據時代，你居然還以為自己擁有自由意志。慶幸的是，只要暫時放下電腦和行動裝置，我們依然有找回自我的可能。人類的身分及未來命運目前面臨危急關頭。如今的科技企業巨擘有更邪惡的目標。它們想掌握使用者身分的每個面向，影響我們做決定的每個環節。直到現在，能看清這項威脅規模有多麼龐大的人少之又少。過去數十年來出現一場革命，知識與資訊的掌控者快速轉換。其變化威脅到人類思考的方式。世界還來不及停下來思考代價，就急著擁抱四家超巨型科技企業的產品與服務。我們在亞馬遜購物；在臉書上社交；使用蘋果產品享受娛樂；仰賴谷歌尋找資訊。這些公司以它們的效率為賣點，並聲稱能讓世界變得更美好，但它們的所作所為卻使得人們對那些日常便利上了癮。富爾追溯電腦科學的歷史，從笛卡兒與啟蒙運動，到艾倫‧圖靈，再到史都華‧布蘭德以及今日矽谷的嬉皮起源，揭露最具理想主義色彩的科技夢有什麼樣的黑暗基底。他指出，谷歌、臉書、蘋果與亞馬遜的企業野心，正在踐踏長久以來的自由價值，尤...
