Nerd Reich
Silicon Valley Fascism and the War on Democracy
AvGil Durán
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
271 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
A fearless and urgent exposé of technofascism – and a road map to resistance.When Silicon Valley ‘moves fast and breaks things’, the world interprets the chaos as a necessary cost of innovation. Gil Durán reveals something far more sinister afoot: a decades-long campaign to replace elected governments with corporate rule. Drawing on insider political experience and new investigations, Durán traces this ideology from its philosophical roots in The Sovereign Individual by James Dale Davidson and Lord William Rees-Mogg. He introduces its modern apostles – Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Balaji Srinivasan and Elon Musk – and shows how the promise of technological liberation has transformed into a global movement for digital feudalism, powered by cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence and algorithmically driven propaganda on social media. The Nerd Reich explains the origins, strategies and ambitions of Silicon Valley’s war on democracy for the first time. From San Francisco’s weaponised elections and secret billionaire projects to the White House, Durán exposes how the world’s richest men are building a new political order. The Nerd Reich is more than a hidden history; it’s an urgent warning: democracy is being dismantled, not by coups or tanks but by code, capital and the illusion of innovation. Durán insists there is still time to fight back – if we act now.

The requirements for an ISMS are specified in ISO 27001. Under this standard, a risk assessment must be carried out to inform the selection of security controls, making risk assessment the core competence of information security management and a critical corporate discipline.Plan and carry out a risk assessment to protect your informationInformation Security Risk Management for ISO 27001 / ISO 27002:Provides information security and risk management teams with detailed, practical guidance on how to develop and implement a risk assessment in line with the requirements of ISO 27001.Draws on national and international best practice around risk assessment, including BS 7799-3:2017 (BS 7799-3).Covers key topics such as risk assessment methodologies, risk management objectives, information security policy and scoping, threats and vulnerabilities, risk treatment and selection of controls.Includes advice on choosing risk assessment software.Ideal for risk managers, information security managers, lead implementers, compliance managers and consultants, as well as providing useful background material for auditors, this book will enable readers to develop an ISO 27001-compliant risk assessment framework for their organisation and deliver real, bottom-line business benefits.Buy your copy today!About the authorsAlan Calder is the Group CEO of GRC International Group plc, the AIM-listed company that owns IT Governance Ltd.

The hidden costs of artificial intelligence—from natural resources and labor to privacy, equality, and freedom “This study argues that [artificial intelligence] is neither artificial nor particularly intelligent. . . . A fascinating history of the data on which machine-learning systems are trained.”—New Yorker “A valuable corrective to much of the hype surrounding AI and a useful instruction manual for the future.”—John Thornhill, Financial Times “It’s a masterpiece, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.”—Karen Hao, senior editor, MIT Tech Review What happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research, award‑winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers to the data taken from every action and expression. Crawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world.

How to Sell a Genocide
The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza

'Compelling … a very interesting, challenging read' - Alastair Campbell, co-host of The Rest Is Politics'Brilliant … this is such a crucial book, and it's a book that had to be written. Everyone go and get it' - Owen Jones'I cannot recommend it enough. A stunning work of data analysis proving the genocide incitement perpetrated by legacy liberal media' - Matthew Remski, co-author of ConspiritualityAs bombs rained down on Gaza in October 2023, images of mass death and destruction gripped the world, and openly genocidal statements from Israeli leaders foretold the magnitude of horrors to come. But the US media was quick to downplay, obscure, and repackage an emerging campaign of extermination into a slick “war on terror” framework. How to Sell a Genocide is a thorough indictment of US corporate media's role in enabling—and, at times, directly inciting—one of the most devastating campaigns of mass killing in modern memory. Johnson unpacks how major news outlets like The New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC systematically sanitized Israel's war crimes, hid the US’s central role, and dehumanized the Palestinian people.Drawing from deep, original data-driven analysis, Johnson dissects the mechanics of propaganda, from the selective empathy, strategic omissions, overt racism and repetition of state-sanctioned falsehoods, to the demonization of humanitarian workers and dishonest coverage of campus protests. With clarity and moral force, Johnson argues that the genocide could not have been sustained without the active, sustained complicity of the US media.All royalties from the book will be donated to the Middle East Children's Alliance.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The epic account of the storm on the summit of Mt. Everest that claimed five lives and left countless more—including Krakauer's—in guilt-ridden disarray. “A harrowing tale of the perils of high-altitude climbing, a story of bad luck and worse judgment and of heartbreaking heroism.”—PeopleA Los Angeles Times Best Nonfiction Book of the Last 30 YearsA bank of clouds was assembling on the not-so-distant horizon, but journalist-mountaineer Jon Krakauer, standing on the summit of Mt. Everest, saw nothing that “suggested that a murderous storm was bearing down.” He was wrong. In Into Thin Air, Krakauer takes great pains to provide a balanced picture of the people and events he witnessed and gives due credit to the tireless and dedicated Sherpas. He also avoids blasting easy targets such as Sandy Pittman, the wealthy socialite who brought an espresso maker along on the expedition. Krakauer's highly personal inquiry into the catastrophe provides a great deal of insight into what went wrong. But for Krakauer himself, further interviews and investigations only lead him to the conclusion that his perceived failures were directly responsible for a fellow climber's death. This updated trade paperback edition includes an extensive new postscript that sheds fascinating light on the acrimonious debate that flared between Krakauer and Everest guide Anatoli Boukreev in the wake of the tragedy. As usual, Krakauer supports his points with dogged research and a good dose of humility. But rather than continue the heated discourse that has raged since Into Thin Air's denouncement of guide Boukreev, Krakauer's tone is conciliatory. In a touching conclusion, Krakauer recounts his last conversation with the late Boukreev, in which the two weathered climbers agreed to disagree about certain points.

Det här är berättelsen om Romson reklambyrå, verksamma 1996 – 2002, en tid då dagstidningarna fortfarande var jättestora, både till läsekrets och format, då internet fortfarande var ett spännande framtidslöfte, och då reklamkreatörer fortfarande var förlänade med en slags rockstjärnestatus. Berättelsen följer byrån: dess tillblivelse, uppgång och fall. Det är en historia som rymmer både passion och svek, och som ger en underhållande inblick i en reklambyrås vardag åren runt förra sekelskiftet.
Jan Lindforss var verksam inom reklambranschen i över 30 år på flera av Sveriges mest framgångsrika reklambyråer. Nedlagd på grund av framgång är hans minnesskildring av hur han kom in i branschen, och om personer och händelser som kom att forma hans yrkesbana.

'A true original, a genuine maverick'ROBERT SMITH (The Cure)'A dirty little page-turner from England's greatest music video director'MATT JOHNSON (The The)'Tim is a strange person'IGGY POP'The absolute dog's bollocks in the world of pop video. He is the OG, the Don, he literally wrote the book'NORMAN COOK (aka Fatboy Slim)__________The wildly entertaining memoir of the legendary video director, whose work is synonymous with the glory years of MTV - and his long-standing relationships with such icons as David Bowie, Neil Young, Iggy Pop and The CureThe 1980s saw the birth of a new medium that took the world by storm: the pop video. And Tim Pope, a music fanboy-turned-video director, was at the forefront of this wild ride.Shooting his first performance footage at a concert after smuggling a camera inside his trousers, Tim got his break directing the video for Soft Cell's follow-up to 'Tainted Love'. Work snowballed, and he was soon jetting back and forth across the Atlantic to feed the newly launched engine of MTV, making videos for The Cure, Queen, Talk Talk, Wham!, Hall & Oates, Siouxsie & the Banshees and The Bangles, among others.From dressing Freddie Mercury as a giant Mediterranean prawn to being called a 'funny little arsehole' by David Bowie; hanging out with Neil Young on his family ranch or locking The Cure in a wardrobe and launching it off a cliff, Tim had a front-row seat on the excesses, egos and larger-than-life characters of the era. Capturing the improvisational mood of a time when directors worked guerrilla-style, money flowed freely and no idea was too wacky to pursue, I Shoot Rock Stars provides a fly-on-the-wall glimpse of an extraordinary cast of personalities, capturing the fizzing energy of this unique creative moment. More than anything, it's the hilarious and frequently moving story of a music-mad kid who ended up working with his heroes, and who here chronicles his - and his industry's - creative triumphs and follies in riotous style.

Economy of Traces
Traceability, Tracking, and the Accounts We Live By
AvMichael Power

325 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Practices of tracking and tracing have a long history, yet they are expanding in scale and scope in the digital age with important consequences for the accounts which shape our organizational and everyday lives. At a time when the benefits of traceability for assuring quality, maintaining security, and supporting knowledge-creation must be balanced with needs for privacy and accountability, Economy of Traces delivers an analysis of the implications of traceability for the many accounts we live by. Issues about why we trace, what we trace, and how we trace have become critical, and the book draws upon thinking in accounting, philosophy, and sociology to understand the different facets of traceability, including connectivity, organization, governance, risk, personhood, and knowledge generation. Through these themes, the book locates a key tension at the heart of our digital economy of traces; namely, that the more we are technically able to produce and track traces of human behaviour, the more fragile the traditional organizational forms of human oversight and accountability become. Economy of Traces develops a traceological theory of accounting to understand this tension and how tracking and oversight, while intertwined, are changing their mix in the digital age. In particular, audit trails which have traditionally underpinned human capacities for observation and governance, are being displaced and de-centered. Economy of Traces avoids both wholesale humanist critique of digital technologies on the one hand and uncritical celebration of their augmenting power on the other, in order to understand and theorize the dynamics of change in the organization of traceability and accounts production.

The Hives. The Cardigans. Timbuktu. The Ark. The Soundtrack of our Lives. Europe. Och Tambourine Studios - först kreddig indiepopstudio, sedan skicklig bokföringsbyrå för internationella artister. Eller? Vad hände egentligen när Sveriges största band möttes i rätten och slogs om miljonbelopp? Komponenterna i svensk musikhistorias största rättsfall och de processer som följde i dess spår är egentligen få men ytterst intrikata: rockband med miljonintäkter, ett system för att slippa förmögenhetsskatt, en ekonomisk förvaltare med fullmakt att sköta allt från p-böter till stora bolagstransaktioner, och en osannolik överkonsumtion av vintagegitarrer och exklusiva bilar. Den 20 januari 2004 görs gitarrinvesteringen som slår alla andra. Den heliga graalen i vintagevärlden: en Gibson Les Paul Sunburst från 1958, som The Hives gitarrist Mikael Karlsson hittar i en butik i Toronto. Och priset känns rätt: 1 114 885 kronor. I Sanningen bakom Tambourinehärvan berättar journalisten Eskil Fagerström för första gången hela historien om vad som verkligen hände och vad de många och långa rättsprocesserna mellan banden egentligen handlat om. Boken ger en unik inblick i en sällan skildrad del av den svenska musikbranschen. Det är en berättelse om framgångar, pengar, entreprenörsanda och havererade förtroenden.

This book lavishly illustrates the first 50 years of Apple’s history through stunning, full-color photographs.Instant New York Times BestsellerIn time for Apple’s 50th anniversary, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent David Pogue tells the iconic company’s entire life story: how it was born, nearly died, was born again under Steve Jobs, and became, under CEO Tim Cook, the most valuable company in the world. The book features new facts that correct the record and illuminate its subversive culture and fresh interviews with the legendary figures who shaped Apple into what it is today.On April 1, 1976, two scruffy twentysomethings, both named Steve, founded a startup. Their goal: To bring the revolutionary power of computers to everyone.Over the next five decades, Apple reshaped the technology and cultural landscapes, introducing the public to breakthroughs like the mouse, laser printing, CD-ROM, WiFi, digital video, home networking, touchscreen phones, and tablets. Jobs’s obsessive eye for detail set the stage for products—Mac, iMac, iPod, iTunes, iPhone, iPad, AirPods, Apple Watch—that married advanced technology with beauty, simplicity, and fine design.Deeply researched and lavishly illustrated, Apple: The First 50 Years includes new interviews with 150 key people who made the journey, including Steve Wozniak, John Sculley, Jony Ive, and many current designers, engineers, and executives. The book busts long-held myths; goes backstage for both the titanic successes (450 million iPods, 700 million iPads, 2.2 billion iPhones) and the instructive failures (Lisa, Apple III, MobileMe); and assesses the forces that challenge Apple’s dominance as it enters its second half century.Bursting with tales of frenetic all-nighters, engineering genius, and creative rebellion, this book is a true testament to Apple’s unique and innovative vision, and a must read for anyone whose life Apple has touched.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWhat happens when intelligent machines aren’t just in our pockets but are also driving our cars, making our decisions, folding our laundry, and educating our kids?You’ve heard the hype: AI will make us healthier, give every child a personalized tutor, run our businesses more efficiently, return hours of free time to our overworked brains, and make discoveries previously unimagined by humankind. The AI future is going to be unlike any other technological revolution. But what does that really mean? And will AI truly make life better?To find out, award-winning journalist Joanna Stern surrendered her life to artificial intelligence for one year. The results are both hilarious and unsettling.I Am Not a Robot is like a time machine trip to the very near future, where AI promises to be your doctor, chauffeur, teacher, masseuse, coworker, therapist, financial planner, chef, housekeeper, and even . . . romantic partner. Your colleague might be using ChatGPT to write emails at work, but Joanna used AI tools and robots to do household chores, to manage her health, and to transport her family on vacation. If there was a decision to make or a task to do, she let AI go first. Along the way, she conducted exclusive interviews with the tech leaders building this future, then reported back from the front lines as your funny, no-nonsense tour guide.Of course, tech’s sunny promises never tell the whole story, and that’s what Joanna is here to share. Filled with illustrations and photographs, this book offers less hype, more clarity, and as little jargon as humanly (or robotically) possible. It’s an AI guide for ordinary people—not the tech bros who tried to sell you a cruise to the metaverse or an NFT of a cartoon monkey.This book is not the definitive story, because we’re only a few years into the AI revolution. But after a year of living as a human lab rat, Joanna delivers one of the clearest—and funniest—pictures yet of what’s really happening and what it means for you.

Under fyra decennier har jag haft förmånen att arbeta med några av världens mest ikoniska varumärken inom spel och film. Jag vill ge er en inblick i brädspelens glädje och videospelens evolution, genom försäljnings- och marknadsstrategier, teknikskiften och personliga upplevelser. Den handlar om spelens utveckling, människor som jag jobbat med, olika kulturer och beslut som jag fattat. Välkommen in bakom kulisserna i spelvärlden. Det här är min berättelse. Stefan Lampinen
Stefan Lampinen har jobbat med spel i över fyrtio år. Med start i Luleå och egen brädspelsbutik, vidare till Stockholm och rollspel, befann han sig snart mitt i händelsernas centrum i samband med BRIO:s lansering av SEGA i Norden. Det här var en tid då TV-spelmarknaden växte i rekordfart.
Efter att ha byggt upp Electronic Arts nordiska verksamhet tog han klivet ut i Europa i tunga chefspositioner som Vice President of European Sales och senare VD för affärsområdet Centraleurope med bas i Tyskland.
Karriären gick vidare till Microsoft, först i den intensiva Europalanseringen av Xbox 360 och därefter i rollen som VD för Emerging Markets. Sedan rekryterades han till Warner Bros. där han ledde transformationen in i den digitala eran. Genom dessa nyckelroller var Stefan en tongivande pionjär bakom det som idag är det svenska spelundret. Idag verkar Stefan som rådgivare inom spel och media. Här delar han med sig av sitt perspektiv på spelbranschens utveckling – från pionjärandan 1982 – till den mogna industri vi ser idag. Från hobbyprogrammerare till Det Svenska Spelundret. Från utskälld barnafiende till erkänd kulturyttring.

The classic political study of how elite forces shape mass media.Edward S Herman and Noam Chomsky investigate how an underlying elite consensus structures mainstream media. Here they skilfully dissect the way in which the marketplace and the economics of publishing significantly shape the news.This book reveals how issues are framed and topics chosen, and the double standards underlying accounts of free elections, a free press, and governmental repression between Nicaragua and El Salvador; between the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the American invasion of Vietnam; between the genocide in Cambodia under a pro-American government and genocide under Pol Pot.What emerges from this ground-breaking work is an account of just how propagandistic our mass media can be, and how we can learn to read them and see their function in a radically new way.

På 1840-talet gavs de första manualerna för stickning och virkning ut på svenska. I små häften med färgglada pappersomslag förmedlades mönster och instruktioner för att tillverka diverse dekorativa föremål, som börsar i silke eller färgglatt ullgarn dekorerade med pärlor, eller kragar, barnkläder och spetsar i tunt vitt bomullsgarn. I manualernas förord lyfts stickning och virkning fram som de vackraste av alla fruntimmershandarbeten, såväl till nytta som till nöje för den trendmedvetna och flitiga medel- och överklasskvinnan. Vid 1850-talets mitt minskar utgivningen av manualer för stickning och virkning, och mönster för allehanda textila handarbeten blir istället ett regelbundet inslag i modejournaler. På stora planscher i tunt papper trängs mönsterritningar med tillskärningsmönster och bilder på det senaste klädmodet. Skillnader mellan dessa publiceringssätt väcker frågor kring hur förmedlingen av mönster och instruktioner för stickning och virkning förändrades över tid, och vad dessa förändringar innebar för utövandet av dessa handarbeten.
Hanna Bäckström undersöker hur mönsterförlagor och instruktioner för stickning och virkning utformades och spreds i tryckta publikationer under 1800-talets mitt, en period när nya publikationsgenrer introduceras på den svenska marknaden. Förutom att ge en detaljerad bild av de första mönster för stickning och virkning som gavs ut på svenska görs jämförelser med liknande publikationer i Tyskland och Storbritannien, och en stor mängd manualer som inte uppmärksammats inom tidigare forskning belyses och sätts in i en kulturhistorisk och mediehistorisk kontext.

Birdnest records startade 1983 under namnet BIRDSKIT RECORDS i mitt pojkrum. Lagret fanns länge under min säng. Med tiden växte både bolaget och visionerna och namnet ändrades till BIRDNEST RECORDS och blev under 90-talet ett av sveriges största skivbolag i punkgenren. Vi vill med denna bok berätta om bolaget som på många sätt förändrade inte bara mitt liv utan även en massa andra människors, mitt i det stora och andras lite mer i det lilla. Det är också en historia om hur musikindustrin genomgick inte bara en utan två stora förändringar. Först med CD-formatets intåg och sedan med hur vi idag streamar musik online. Bolaget finns i allra högsta grad även om vi idag inte gör lika mycket väsen av oss. Vi har därför valt att kalla projektet "Boken om BIRDNEST RECORDS från 1982 till framtiden". / Per Granberg 2024
