WTF? Co přinese budoucnost a jak ji přežít - O'Reilly Tim

Technologický vývoj nabírá překotné tempo, společnost stojí na rozcestí a my se ptáme: WTF? Připraví nás roboti o práci? Zničí fake news demokracii?

Otázky, které zní jako pro věštce, ale přesně tak se přezdívá Timu O’Reillymu – „věštec Silicon Valley“ (Inc.) nebo „stopař trendů“ (Wired).O’Reilly sleduje zrod klíčových technologických inovací od 70. let, opakovaně dokázal předpovědět jejich vývoj a i dnes nabízí vhled, který stojí za to. Ve své zásadní knize přibližuje historii IT posledních čtyřiceti let, odhaluje zákulisí gigantů jako Google, Facebook, Uber, Amazon a vysvětluje, jak špičkové technologie i nové organizační přístupy mění byznys, finanční trhy a ekonomiku.Poté načrtává optimistickou vizi budoucnosti, kde stroje lidi nenahradí, ale budou je doplňovat a spolu s nimi vytvářet lepší svět. Připomíná ale i háček: možných budoucností je více a záleží na nás, jaká nastane – podle toho, zda chápeme, co se kolem nás děje, a činíme prozíravá rozhodnutí, osobní i politická.V knize se mimo jiné dozvíte: jak malá rozhodnutí mohou převrátit vývoj a svrhnout giganty jako IBM, Microsoft či Netscape, že algoritmy už dnes formují naše životy více, než si připouštíme, proč špičkové technologie oslabují střední třídu a prohlubují nerovnost, jak Uber, Airbnb a ...

The Bend for Home - Dermot Healy

One day, years after he''s moved away from his childhood home in rural Ireland, Dermot Healy returns to care for his ailing mother. Out of the blue she hands him the forgotten diary he had kept as a fifteen-year-old. He is amazed to find the makings of the writer he has become, as well as taken aback at the changes his memory has wrought. The silhouettes who have haunted his past come back to inhabit his pages: his father, a kind policeman who plays cards and drinks stout with his cronies; his mother, whose stories young Dermot has heard so often that he believes they are his own; or Aunt Maisie, whose early disappointment in love has left her both dreamy and cynical. Funny, direct and moving, The Bend For Home is a family portrait like no other, and a hugely engaging account of a childhood in small-town Ireland.

On James Baldwin - Colm Tóibín

Colm Tóibín’s personal account of encountering James Baldwin’s work, published in Baldwin’s centenary year.  Acclaimed Irish novelist Colm Tóibín first read James Baldwin just after turning eighteen. He had completed his first year at an Irish university and was struggling to free himself from a religious upbringing. He had even considered entering a seminary and was searching for literature that would offer illumination and insight. Inspired by the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, Tóibín found a writer who would be a lifelong companion and exemplar.  From On James BaldwinBaldwin was interested in the hidden and dramatic areas in his own being, and was prepared as a writer to explore difficult truths about his own private life. In his fiction, he had to battle for the right of his protagonists to choose or influence their destinies. He knew about guilt and rage and bitter privacies in a way that few of his White novelist contemporaries did. And this was not simply because he was Black and homosexual; the difference arose from the very nature of his talent, from the texture of his sensibility. “All art,” he wrote, “is a kind of confession, more or less oblique.

The Empty Family - Colm Tóibín

In the captivating stories that make up The Empty Family Colm Tóibín delineates with a tender and unique sensibility lives of unspoken or unconscious longing, of individuals, often willingly, cast adrift from their history. ''I imagined lamplight, shadows, soft voices, clothes put away, the low sound of late news on the radio. And I thought as I crossed the bridge at Baggot Street to face the last stretch of my own journey home that no matter what I had done, I had not done that.''From the young Pakistani immigrant who seeks some kind of permanence in a strange town to the Irish woman reluctantly returning to Dublin and discovering a city that refuses to acknowledge her long absence each of Tóibín''s stories manage to contain whole worlds: stories of fleeing the past and returning home, of family threads lost and ultimately regained.''Exquisite . . .

It’s about trying to be become the greenest version of yourself; about joining the ranks of those who give a shit and do a bit.So if you’ve fretted about:- using your diesel car to get closer to nature,- eating your ethical food off a plastic plate,- existingand have a general feeling we’re all doing too little, too late, Climate Worrier is the book for you.
