Since the rise of Napster and other file-sharing services in its wake, most of us have assumed that intellectual piracy is a product of the digital age and that it threatens creative expression as never before.

Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Network revolutions of the past have shaped the present and set the stage for the revolution we are experiencing todayIn an era of seemingly instant change, it's easy to think that today's revolutionsin communications, business, and many areas of daily lifeare unprecedented. Today's changes may be new and may be happening faster than ever before. But our ancestors at times were just as bewildered by rapid upheavals in what we now call "networks"the physical links that bind any society together.In this fascinating book, former FCC chairman Tom Wheeler brings to life the two great network revolutions of the past and uses them to help put in perspective the confusion, uncertainty, and even excitement most people face today. The first big network revolution was the invention of movable-type printing in the fifteenth century. This book, its millions of predecessors, and even such broad trends as the Reformation, the Renaissance, and the multiple scientific revolutions of the past 500 years would not have been possible without that one invention. The second revolution came with the invention of the telegraph early in the nineteenth century. Never before had people been able to communicate over long distances faster than a horse could travel. Along with the development of the world's first high-speed networkthe railroadthe telegraph upended centuries of stability and literally redrew the map of the world.Wheeler puts these past revolutions into the perspective of today, when rapid-fire changes in networking are upending the nature of work, personal privacy, education, the media, and nearly every other aspect of modern life. But he doesn't leave it there. Outlining "What's Next," he describes how artificial intelligence, virtual reality, blockchain, and the need for cybersecurity are laying the foundation for a third network revolution.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. John Naughton is The Observer's Networker columnist, a prominent blogger, and vice president of Wolfson College, Cambridge. The Times has said of his writing, it] draws on more than two decades of study to explain how the internet works and the challenges and opportunities it will offer to future generations, and Cory Doctorow raved that this is the kind of primer you want to slide under your boss's door. In From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg, Naughton explores the living history of one of the most radically transformational technologies of all time. From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg is a clear-eyed history of one of the most central features of modern life: the internet. Once a technological novelty and now the very plumbing of the Information Age, the internet is something we have learned to take largely for granted. So, how exactly has our society become so dependent upon a utility it barely understands? And what does it say about us that this is the case? While explaining in highly engaging language the way the internet works and how it got that way, technologist John Naughton has distilled the noisy chatter surrounding the technology's relentless evolution into nine essential areas of understanding. In doing so, he affords readers deeper insight into the information economy and supplies the requisite knowledge to make better use of the technologies and networks around us, highlighting some of their fascinating and far-reaching implications along the way.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. An intimate narrative exploring the past, present, and future of books Four seismic shifts have rocked human communication: the invention of writing, the alphabet, mechanical type and the printing press, and digitization. Poised over this fourth transition, e-reader in one hand, perfect-bound book in the other, Merilyn Simonds author, literary maven, and early adopter asks herself: what is lost and what is gained as paper turns to pixel? Gutenberg s Fingerprint trolls the past, present, and evolving future of the book in search of an answer. Part memoir and part philosophical and historical exploration, the book finds its muse in Hugh Barclay, who produces gorgeous books on a hand-operated 19th-century letterpress. As Simonds works alongside this born-again Gutenberg, and with her son to develop a digital edition of the same book, her assumptions about reading, writing, the nature of creativity, and the value of imperfection are toppled. Gutenberg s Fingerprint is a timely and fascinating book that explores the myths, inventions, and consequences of the digital shift and how we read today.…

Paperback. Etat : Fair. [A] THOUGHTFUL AND HEARTFELT BOK.A literary cri de coeur--a lament for literature and everything implicit in it.--The Washington PostIn our zeal to embrace the wonders of the electronic age, are we sacrificing our literary culture? Renowned critic Sven Birkerts believes the answer is an alarming yes. In The Gutenberg Elegies, he explores the impact of technology on the experience of reading. Drawing on his own passionate, lifelong love of books, Birkerts examines how literature intimately shapes and nourishes the inner life. What does it mean to hear a book on audiotape, decipher its words on a screen, or interact with it on CD-ROM? Are books as we know them dead?At once a celebration of the complex pleasures of reading and a boldly original challenge to the new information technologies, The Gutenberg Elegies is an essential volume for anyone who cares about the past and future of books.[A] wise and humane book.He is telling us, in short, nothing less than what reading means and why it matters.--The Boston Sunday GlobeWarmly elegiac.A candid and engaging autobiographical account sketches his own almost obsessive trajectory through avid childhood reading.This profoundly reflexive process is skillfully described.--The New York Times Book ReviewProvocative.Compelling.Powerfully conveys why reading matters, why it is both a delight and a necessity.--The Harvard Review.…

Hardback. Etat : Good. Will the emerging global information infrastructure (GI) create a revolution in communication equivalent to that wrought by Gutenberg, or will the result be simply the evolutionary adaptation of existing behavior and institutions to new media? Will the GI improve access to information for all? Will it replace libraries and publishers? How can computers and information systems be made easier to use? What are the trade-offs between tailoring information systems to user communities and standardizing them to interconnect with systems designed for other communities, cultures, and languages? This book takes a close look at these and other questions of technology, behavior, and policy surrounding the GI. Topics covered include the design and use of digital libraries; behavioral and institutional aspects of electronic publishing; the evolving role of libraries; the life cycle of creating, using, and seeking information; and the adoption and adaptation of information technologies. The book takes a human-centered perspective, focusing on how well the GI fits into the daily lives of the people it is supposed to benefit. Taking a unique holistic approach to information access, the book draws on research and practice in computer science, communications, library and information science, information policy, business, economics, law, political science, sociology, history, education, and archival and museum studies. It explores both domestic and international issues. The author's own empirical research is complemented by extensive literature reviews and analyses.…
