5/22/2023 0 Comments Dragnet nationAppalled at such a prospect, Angwin conducts a series of experiments to try to protect herself, ranging from quitting Google to carrying a "burner" phone, showing how difficult it is for an average citizen to resist the dragnets' reach. In a world where we can be watched in our own homes, where we can no longer keep secrets, and where we can be impersonated, financially manipulated, or even placed in a police lineup, Angwin argues that the greatest long-term danger is that we start to internalize the surveillance and censor our words and thoughts, until we lose the very freedom that makes us unique individuals. In Dragnet Nation, award-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin reports from the front lines of America's surveillance economy, offering a revelatory and unsettling look at how the government, private companies, and even criminals use technology to indiscriminately sweep up vast amounts of our personal data. And the federal government, we recently learned, has been conducting a massive data-gathering surveillance operation across the Internet and on our phone lines. Our smartphones and cars transmit our location, enabling us to know what's in the neighborhood but also enabling others to track us. We see online ads from websites we've visited, long after we've moved on to other interests. An inside look at who's watching you, what they know and why it matters. This event of the Smithsonian Lecture Series was held in the Jefferson Auditorium in the United States Department of Agriculture building. After his presentation he responded to audience members' questions. 24, 2006 A prodigiously gifted popularizer of Western philosophical and religious thought spotlights exemplary Christians in the High Middle Ages. He explained that placing the image of the Virgin Mary at the center of their churches marked the first time men began treating women with dignity.

With a dead man riding shotgun and Molly, mirror-eyed street-samurai, to watch his back, Case embarks on an adventure that ups the ante on an entire genre of fiction. The target: an unthinkably powerful artificial intelligence orbiting Earth in service of the sinister Tessier-Ashpool business clan. But now a new and very mysterious employer recruits him for a last-chance run. La Trilogía del Sprawl (también conocida como trilogía de Neuromante, del Ciberespacio o Trilogía de la Matriz) es el primer conjunto de novelas de William Gibson. Henry Dorsett Case was the sharpest data-thief in the business, until vengeful former employees crippled his nervous system. Dick Awards, Neuromancer was the first fully-realized glimpse of humankind’s digital future - a shocking vision that has challenged our assumptions about our technology and ourselves, reinvented the way we speak and think, and forever altered the landscape of our imaginations. The winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. The first of William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy, Neuromancer is the classic cyberpunk novel. 5/22/2023 0 Comments Roman history mary beardThis post will summarise a few thematic lessons that I took from her work. There’s a lot for us to learn from Beard’s historical method. To do otherwise is to oversimplify, a disservice to our understanding. Beard shows us the complexities, messiness and different intepretations of ancient history. Sometimes the historical evidence is weak, and competing explanations must be explored. I think this misses the point of Beard’s work. Some readers criticised Beard for not producing a compelling narrative of ancient Rome. It’s an important case study, not only for historians, but for those concerned with the future rise and fall of great nations. From Cicero’s finest hour to Rome’s great leap forward, the history of ancient Rome is rich in drama and complexity. Through SPQR, Beard takes readers on a brief tour of ancient Rome. I thought this was a good excuse to read SPQR : A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard (SPQR is the Classical Latin abbreviation for Senātus Populusque Rōmānus – The Roman Senate and People). For a website with Minerva in its name, its contributors know surprisingly little about ancient Roman history and mythology. Sawyer's innocence unravels before us as he weighs his options and plans and justifies his kills, trying to stay one step ahead of Manny. As the story unfolds the border between the supernatural and psychological blends. Believing “Manny” has morphed into a Frankenstein-style monster bent on offing its creators with no regard for who else gets hurt in the process, Sawyer decides that it’s his responsibility to kill his fellow pranksters before Manny can get to them, and thus lessen the collateral damage for their families. When one of the friends is killed, along with her entire family, in a freak accident shortly thereafter, Sawyer becomes convinced that the mannequin’s to blame. They all think it’s a funny prank-until Sawyer sees the mannequin walk out of the theater at the movie’s end. Sawyer Grimes is one of five bored teens who decide to pose a discarded store mannequin as though it’s a real patron in a movie theater in a suburb of Dallas, Tex. What would you do? This is the position Sawyer Grimes finds himself in at the start of Night of the Mannequins. Remember that Doctor Who episode "Rose" where Rose and the Doctor were chased by mannequins and how creepy that was? Now imagine if one of those mannequins was a murderer hell bent on killing you and your friends and their families. This was one wild and weird novella and I absolutely loved it.

Sexy. A work trip places them in adjoining hotel bedrooms, giving her the chance to put on a sizzling show just for him! When Cameron’s left wanting more, Trish is delighted to give him exactly that. Cameron knows he’s broken the rules-and is resolved to keep his distance from her. But Trish doesn’t make it easy. He avoids her at all costs, until a raunchy late-night encounter in an elevator shows him that there’s a fine line between hate and lust. She’s even willing to put up with his best friend and business partner, the notoriously grumpy Cameron O’Clery-especially when she finds out he’s very easy on the eyes. Cameron hates people: especially peppy, happy people like Trish. They’re complete opposites-but that only makes the temptation hotter! Trish Livingston desperately needs cash, so when her brother offers her a job while he’s on paternity leave, she snaps it up.

Powered by remarkable performances from Kim Min-hee as Lady Hideko, Ha Jung-woo as the Count and sensational debut actress KIM Tae-ri as the maid Sookee, The Handmaiden borrows the most dynamic elements of its source material and combines it with Park Chan-wook’s singular vision and energy to create an unforgettable viewing experience. Having transposed Waters’ story to 1930s-era colonial Korea and Japan, Park presents a gripping and sensual tale of a young Japanese lady living on a secluded estate, and a Korean woman who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden. The Handmaiden is a ravishing crime drama from Park Chan-wook, the celebrated director of Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, Thirst and, Stoker. It is a stunningly beautiful film, based on Sarah Waters’ novel, Fingersmith. It won the BAFTA this year for Best Foreign Film and was a winner at Cannes for artistic direction. Now the movie that came sixth in the Guardian’s top 20 of 2017. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Carter and lovecraft 3The action is fast, the characters are good, and the bad guys are suitably creepy. It turns out that she’s a descendant of HP Lovecraft himself, and Carter’s a descendant of someone everyone thought was a fictional character of Lovecraft’s, and when things get weird and people start dying, Carter and Lovecraft have to work together to figure out what’s going on. It’s being run by Hill’s niece, who is very startled to learn that the store was left to a stranger and not to her. He drives to Providence to see the property the mystery man left to him, and is surprised to find out it’s a bookstore. One problem: he’s never heard of Alfred Hill. He’s settling into the Keith Mars life when an attorney shows up at his office, telling him he’s been named as the sole beneficiary of Alfred Hill, who’s been missing for seven years and was just legally declared dead. We read the Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories for the December meeting (Lovecraft was not a great person or a great writer – so many flowery adjectives! – but I was glad to know the backstory behind the beastie that’s taken over the internet), so this was a nice companion piece.ĭan Carter is a cop, but retires to become a PI when a child kidnapping case goes wrong, leading to the death of the bad guy and also Carter’s partner. I never would have picked this up on my own, but it was the January pick for my library sci-fi book club, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Books like this are why I like book clubs. |
