Drawing from philosophy, information theory, and network science, Organized Skepticism in the Age of Misinformation: Surviving the Kingdom of Gossip offers a novel conceptual framework that views information as a form of gossip.This book challenges the idea that truthfulness is a necessary, or even a relevant condition, of information. Instead, this book develops a conceptual framework in which information is understood as gossip, which fits within a more general account of information and knowledge as constrained but contingent social practices. Using this framework, this book provides a nuanced understanding of the “grammar” of gossip that permeates both online and real‑orld environments and sheds light on the often overused and confused terms of our time: information, misinformation and knowledge.This book offers a fundamental reconfiguration of the evolving virtual interdependence of humans and information technology. It is a key resource for students and scholars in areas relating to social media, information diffusion, human/computer interface, and computational social science.

Algorithms are critical to online cryptographic data protection, and this book gives you a tour of the 10 most significant among them - covering their operation, applications, and flaws. Through real-world examples using each algorithm, you'll get a big-picture view of why cryptography matters and how it can help keep our everyday networked environments safe. Rather than focusing on mathematical and computational theory, the author - an award-winning scholar - demonstrates how to select the right solution for real-world security problems. Each chapter gives an in-depth understanding of a different algorithm, discussing its history, operation, and applications for data protection. You'll learn how these algorithms operate in practice, without sacrificing mathematical rigor. You'll also learn how the algorithms were improved over time, giving you an in-depth understanding of the history of their development and how to work with their existing flaws.
