The Constitution of Knowledge book cover
The Constitution of Knowledge
A Defense of Truth
Jonathan Rauch - 2021-06-22
Calificación de Goodreads
"The Constitution of Knowledge" by Jonathan Rauch is a timely and essential book that explores the multi-front challenge America is facing in distinguishing fact from fiction and elevating truth above falsehood. From disinformation and trolling to conspiracies and cancel culture, Rauch examines the epistemic crisis that is threatening society's grip on truth. Through a thought-provoking analysis of the Constitution of Knowledge, Rauch arms readers with a clearer understanding of how they can defend objective truth and free inquiry against threats, both foreign and domestic.

Doom
The Politics of Catastrophe
Niall Ferguson - 2021-05-06
Calificación de Goodreads
Discover the true nature of disasters with this insightful and urgent book. Renowned author Niall Ferguson explains why we are failing to handle catastrophes, using historical events and modern-day crises as examples. With a focus on pandemics, earthquakes, wildfires, financial crises, and wars, Doom offers not only a history but a theory of disasters. Drawing from economics, cliodynamics, and network science, Ferguson highlights why our bureaucratic and complex systems are getting worse at handling these events. Urgently needed, Doom is a lesson in history to help us avoid irreversible decline.

Cómo no hacer nada book cover
Cómo no hacer nada
Resistirse a la economía de la atención
Jenny Odell - 2019-04-09
Calificación de Goodreads
En un mundo en el que nuestro valor está determinado por la productividad y el rendimiento, la acción de no hacer nada puede ser nuestra mayor forma de protesta. Así lo argumenta en esta obra Jenny Odell, quien cuestiona de manera radical la capitalización de nuestro tiempo, la rentabilización de nuestra atención y el estado de impaciencia y ansiedad en el que vivimos. Marcados por la lógica invasiva de las redes sociales y el culto a la marca personal, hemos olvidado lo que significa la inactividad. Desde esta perspectiva, «no hacer nada» es ganar tiempo para nosotros mismos, ser contemplativos y ejercitar la percepción, recuperar el nexo con la realidad física y encontrar modos de relacionarnos de los que no se beneficien ni las empresas ni los algoritmos. Lejos de la antitecnología, Cómo no hacer nada es un manifiesto contra el discurso de la eficiencia y el tecnodeterminismo, un ensayo original en el que recuperar nuestro espacio alejados de un ritmo vertiginoso constituye un acto de resistencia política.
