The Simulmatics Corporation, founded in 1959, mined data, targeted voters, accelerated news, manipulated consumers, destabilized politics, and disordered knowledge--decades before Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Cambridge Analytica. Silicon Valley likes to imagine it has no past but the scientists of Simulmatics are the long-dead grandfathers of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Borrowing from psychological warfare, they used computers to predict and direct human behavior, deploying their "People Machine" from New York, Cambridge, and Saigon for clients that included John Kennedy's presidential campaign, the New York Times, Young & Rubicam, and, during the Vietnam War, the Department of Defence. In If Then, distinguished Harvard historian and New Yorker staff writer, Jill Lepore, unearths from the archives the almost unbelievable story of this long-vanished corporation, and of the women hidden behind it. In the 1950s and 1960s, Lepore argues, Simulmatics invented the future by building the machine in which the world now finds itself trapped and tormented, algorithm by algorithm. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

He takes his eye off Mungo for a few moments, and in that time, the boy disappears. Then he gets the terrifying message that someone has his child, and to get him back alive, Kipp will have to pay.

Pečou se tu valašské frgále, pálí úžasná slivovica, malým horám zde říkají horečky a poutníkovi nabídnou pohostinství třeba u Maměnky či Pantáty. No, není tu hezky? A co teprve beskydské chodníčky, které vedou k půvabným kostelíkům i do malebných vsí a provedou nás zajímavými městy. Na svých výpravách bychom neměli minout skanzen v Rožnově pod Radhoštěm, rázovité Pustevny se stavbami Dušana Jurkoviče či bájný Radhošť se sochou boha Radegasta. Vydáme se také na Lysou horu a z beskydských vrcholů pohlédneme daleko do kraje – možná objevíme i nějaký ten svůj kout, kam se budeme pravidelně vracet. (knihydobrovsky.cz)

Ve své nové knize nás chce autor naučit, jak rozpoznávat pravdivé informace od těch lživých a vymyšlených, které nekriticky přijímáme kvůli své slabé finanční gramotnosti a stáváme se tak lehkou obětí různých institucí. Často naletíme na nabídky, kterých poté litujeme, když už není cesty zpět. Vaše základní finanční gramotnost začíná v této knize od úplných základů a naučí vás přemýšlet o penězích tak, že se již nenecháte zbytečně napálit podvodným telefonátem nebo přemrštěnými akcemi v obchodech. Kniha je také kritikou současného globálního rozdělování peněz, které je podle autora ve velké míře okrádáním běžného člověka. (knihydobrovsky.cz)
