The Technical Delusion by Jeffrey Sconce Pdf

Delusions of electronic persecution have been a preeminent symptom of psychosis for over two hundred years. In The Technical Delusion Jeffrey Sconce traces the history and continuing proliferation of this phenomenon from its origins in Enlightenment anatomy to our era of global interconnectivity. While psychiatrists have typically dismissed such delusions of electronic control as arbitrary or as mere reflections of modern life, Sconce demonstrates a more complex and interdependent history of electronics, power, and insanity. Drawing on a wide array of psychological case studies, literature, court cases, and popular media, Sconce analyzes the material and social processes that have shaped historical delusions of electronic contamination, implantation, telepathy, surveillance, and immersion. From the age of telegraphy to contemporary digitality, the media emerged within such delusions to become the privileged site for imagining the merger of electronic and political power, serving as a paranoid conduit between the body and the body politic. Looking to the future, Sconce argues that this symptom will become increasingly difficult to isolate, especially as remote and often secretive powers work to further integrate bodies, electronics, and information.

IBM by James W. Cortada Pdf

A history of one of the most influential American companies of the last century. For decades, IBM shaped the way the world did business. IBM products were in every large organization, and IBM corporate culture established a management style that was imitated by companies around the globe. It was “Big Blue, ” an icon. And yet over the years, IBM has gone through both failure and success, surviving flatlining revenue and forced reinvention. The company almost went out of business in the early 1990s, then came back strong with new business strategies and an emphasis on artificial intelligence. In this authoritative, monumental history, James Cortada tells the story of one of the most influential American companies of the last century. Cortada, a historian who worked at IBM for many years, describes IBM's technology breakthroughs, including the development of the punch card (used for automatic tabulation in the 1890 census), the calculation and printing of the first Social Security checks in the 1930s, the introduction of the PC to a mass audience in the 1980s, and the company's shift in focus from hardware to software. He discusses IBM's business culture and its orientation toward employees and customers; its global expansion; regulatory and legal issues, including antitrust litigation; and the track records of its CEOs. The secret to IBM's unequalled longevity in the information technology market, Cortada shows, is its capacity to adapt to changing circumstances and technologies.

The Orion Wars by Frederick Guttmann Pdf

In Episode 1, 11 years after Har-Megido and World War III, two i'hin from Earth (named Ari and Guang), an usumgal (named Chester), and the nether Horus must stop Thirium Shen's plans to reignite hostilities between Syrian A and Syrian B by Kobali rebels. The Tilmun (the apparatus with which Dyehuty built the Great Pyramid) falls into the hands of the Zoton alliance, but they cannot use it without the gems hidden in Towsang. Despite the support of the legendary Fenix-Prime, the conspirators are defeated. In episode 2, other hidden gems in various star systems of the Twelve Kingdoms would allow the Zoton alliance to attack Alpha Tzion, the galactic headquarters. This time with the help of the great Jivah, they stop the draconian-orian plans, but Horus is thrown into hell, where he advances in the process of his inner transformation. In episode 3, Jivah tells the story of the origin of this universe and how we all dwelt in the Lamed universe, from where together we created this current universe and came as souls to embody and experience the illusion of Anicca. Jivah also recounts her incarnation as Eve in the garden of Meruah, and her incarnation as Mary Magdalene, from whose perspective she recounts things that the teacher Yeshua told her followers that were not recorded in the Bible. In episode 4, Chester – the usumgal who has accompanied the team since the beginning of the search for Tilmun – is informed that his father was king of Okt, and that they usurped his throne, so he decides to get it back. Ari narrates Chester's history with the Titanic, Atlantis, the Bermuda Triangle and the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank, things that are apparently unconnected, but made sense thanks to the investigations of Chester's colleagues, who were in looking for Poseidon's trident and they ran into a great conspiracy. This work begins by recounting the origin of evil and all its forces in this universe, the first wars that were fought and the alliances between different races and worlds. After reclaiming the throne from him, Chester joins his companions in traveling to the future, to the year 3060, when Lucifer is released from prison and once again assembles Leviathan to aim to destroy Towsang and take control of the entire galaxy of Jaleb.

Linux and the Unix Philosophy by Mike Gancarz Pdf

Unlike so many books that focus on how to use Linux, Linux and the Unix Philosophy explores the "way of thinking that is Linux" and why Linux is a superior implementation of this highly capable operating system. This book is a revision and expansion of a computer science classic. Every chapter has been thoroughly updated with Linux coverage. Linux and the Unix Philosophy falls squarely between the "softer" texts on iterative software design and project management and the "how-to" technical texts. Thus far, no one has come out with a book that addresses this topic, either in the Unix space or the Linux space. Linux and the Unix Philosophy covers the same ground as the first edition, while it also presents bold new ideas about Linux and Open Source. · Concise list of philosophy tenets makes it a handy quick reference · Anecdotal examples personalize the book for the reader · Conversational style makes it easy and joyful to read

Bargaining with the Machine by Robert M. Pallitto Pdf

Cell phone apps share location information; software companies store user data in the cloud; biometric scanners read fingerprints; employees of some businesses have microchips implanted in their hands. In each of these instances we trade a share of privacy or an aspect of identity for greater convenience or improved security. What Robert M. Pallitto asks in Bargaining with the Machine is whether we are truly making such bargains freely—whether, in fact, such a transaction can be conducted freely or advisedly in our ever more technologically sophisticated world. Pallitto uses the social theory of bargaining to look at the daily compromises we make with technology. Specifically, he explores whether resisting these “bargains” is still possible when the technologies in question are backed by persuasive, even coercive, corporate and state power. Who, he asks, is proposing the bargain? What is the balance of bargaining power? What is surrendered and what is gained? And are the perceived and the actual gains and losses the same—that is, what is hidden? At the center of Pallitto’s work is the paradox of bargaining in a world of limited agency. Assurances that we are in control are abundant whether we are consumers, voters, or party to the social contract. But when purchasing goods from a technological behemoth like Amazon, or when choosing a candidate whose image is crafted and shaped by campaign strategists and media outlets, how truly free, let alone informed, are our choices? The tension between claims of agency and awareness of its limits is the site where we experience our social lives—and nowhere is this tension more pronounced than in the surveillance society. This book offers a cogent analysis of how that complex, contested, and even paradoxical experience arises as well as an unusually clear and troubling view of the consequential compromises we may be making.

Media and Society by John Ryan,William M. Wentworth Pdf

In this large-scale, postindustrial society, the mass media has become deeply embedded into the lifestyles of everyday citizens. People are lured by television ratings, celebrity-sponsored products, and high-profile crimes and scandals, all finding their way into living rooms across America by satellites, cable wires, and modems. This book examines the real, imagined, and potential effects of the mass media on individuals and society. The book explores the processes through which the mass media is enabled and constrained by such factors as technology, law, industry structure, and occupational careers, accounting for the vast changes that have developed in recent years. This book is divided into two parts. Part I defines mass communication and locates its role in social life. Part II considers the factors which influence media content, providing insight into how the industry operates. Sociologists, Communication and Mass Media specialists, film, music, and pop culture critics, and enthusiasts of these fields.
