Transformation of Collective Intelligences: Perspective of Transhumanism
by Jean-Max NoyerThere is a great transformation of the production of knowledge and intelligibility. The "digital fold of the world" (with the convergence of NBIC) affects the collective assemblages of "thought", of research. The aims of these assemblages are also controversial issues. From a general standpoint, these debates concern "performative science and performative society". But one emerges and strengthens that has several names: transhumanism, post-humanism, speculative post-humanism. It appears as a great narration, a large story about the future of our existence, facing our entry into the Anthropocene. It is also presented as a concrete utopia with an anthropological and technical change. In this book, we proposed to show how collective intelligences stand in the middle of the coupling of ontological horizons and of the "process of bio-technical maturation".

Transmediale Genre-Passagen
by Ivo Ritzer Peter W. SchulzeGenres unterliegen stets Transformationsprozessen und stehen in Wechselbeziehungen zu anderen Genres - nicht nur intramedial, sondern in einer medienpluralisierten globalen Gesellschaft immer stärker auch medienübergreifend. Daher lassen sich anhand generischer Strukturen auch komplexe mediale und kulturelle Austauschprozesse beobachten und analysieren. Dieser Band fokussiert transmediale Erscheinungen und bietet eine interdisziplinäre Plattform, um verschiedene Forschungsperspektiven miteinander zu verbinden, die sich in Bezug auf Genre-Muster in differenten Medien traditionell eher isoliert entwickelt und auch unterschiedlich konzipierte Terminologien hervorgebracht haben.

You know, the kinds of tips and tricks people try to sell you even when they themselves have never had any blogging success. In this book you're not going to find a "Blogging 101" type of course on the technical details of how to start a blog. In today's world, blog creation platforms are so intuitive and easy to use that it wouldn't even be worth your time to read a book like that. So if that's the kind of thing you're looking for, I'd recommend you check out one of the many "How to create a blog" tutorials that you can find on YouTube, among other places.

In these ten years I have not only maintained my own personal blog, but I have also directed a blogging network with over 50 other writers, I've given conferences and taught classes on blogging, I've contributed to various book publications, etc. What I hope to share with you in this book, as a summary of these past ten years of blogging, is a selection of 15 articles which I believe reflect, in a clear and concise way, everything you'll need in order to write a winning blog. These articles will be just 15 out of the 2,000 plus articles that I have published over the years. I've taken the original versions and touched them up a bit, so that while the

A Truck Full of Money: One Man's Quest to Recover from Great Success
by Tracy Kidder"A perfectly executed, exquisitely reported parable of the Internet age and the wild, mad adventure that is start-up culture."--Charles Duhigg Fortune, mania, genius, philanthropy--the bestselling author of Mountains Beyond Mountains gives us the inspiring story of Paul English, the founder of Kayak.com and Lola. Tracy Kidder, the "master of the nonfiction narrative" (The Baltimore Sun) and author of the bestselling classic The Soul of a New Machine, now tells the story of Paul English, a kinetic and unconventional inventor and entrepreneur, who as a boy rebelled against authority. Growing up in working-class Boston, English discovers a medium for his talents the first time he sees a computer. As a young man, despite suffering from what would eventually be diagnosed as bipolar disorder, he begins his pilgrim's journey through the ups and downs in the brave new world of computers. Relating to the Internet as if it's an extension of his own mind, he discovers that he has a talent for conceiving innovative enterprises and building teams that can develop them, becoming "a Pied Piper" of geeks. His innovative management style, success, and innate sense of fair play inspire intense loyalty. Early on, one colleague observes: "Someday this boy's going to get hit by a truck full of money, and I'm going to be standing beside him." Yet when English does indeed make a fortune, when the travel website Kayak is sold for almost two billion dollars--the first thing he thinks about is how to give the money away: "What else would you do with it?" The second thing he thinks is, What's next? With the power of a consummate storyteller, Tracy Kidder casts a fresh, critical, and often humorous eye on the way new ideas and new money are reshaping our culture and the world. A Truck Full of Money is a mesmerizing portrait of an irresistibly endearing man who is indefatigable, original, and as unpredictable as America itself. Advance praise for A Truck Full of Money"A perfectly executed, exquisitely reported parable of the Internet age, and the wild, mad adventure that is start-up culture."--Charles Duhigg "A Truck Full of Money brings us into unknown spaces of the complex workings of the mind--of a brilliant software engineer, of this new decade, of the brutal/fast business of technology, of stunning privilege, and of one man's efforts to put his fortune to humane use."--Adrian Nicole LeBlanc"The story of [an] entrepreneur's remarkable life [and] the new American economy and the technological world that built it. More engrossing work from a gifted practitioner of narrative nonfiction."--Kirkus ReviewsFrom the Hardcover edition.
