<p><strong>The bestselling author of <em>The Death of Money</em> and <em>Currency Wars</em> reveals the global elites' dark effort to hide a coming catastrophe from investors in <em>The Road to Ruin</em>, now a National Bestseller.</strong></p> <p>A drumbeat is sounding among the global elites. The signs of a worldwide financial meltdown are unmistakable. This time, the elites have an audacious plan to protect themselves from the fallout: hoarding cash now and locking down the global financial system when a crisis hits.</p> <p>Since 2014, international monetary agencies have been issuing warnings to a small group of finance ministers, banks, and private equity funds: the U.S. government’s cowardly choices not to prosecute J.P. Morgan and its ilk, and to bloat the economy with a $4 trillion injection of easy credit, are driving us headlong toward a cliff.</p> <p>As Rickards shows in this frightening, meticulously researched book, governments around the world have no compunction about conspiring against their citizens. They will have stockpiled hard assets when stock exchanges are closed, ATMs shut down, money market funds frozen, asset managers instructed not to sell securities, negative interest rates imposed, and cash withdrawals denied.</p> <p>If you want to plan for the risks ahead, you will need Rickards’s cutting-edge synthesis of behavioral economics, history, and complexity theory. It’s a guidebook to thinking smarter, acting faster, and living with the comforting knowledge that your wealth is secure.</p> <p>The global elites don’t want this book to exist. Their plan to herd us like sheep to the slaughter when a global crisis eruptsーand, of course, to maintain their wealthーworks only if we remain complacent and unaware. Thanks to <em>The Road to Ruin</em>, we don’t need to be.</p> <p>"If you are curious about what the financial <em>G?tterd?mmerung</em> might look like you’ve certainly come to the right place... Rickards believes -- and provides tantalizing snippets of private conversations with those who dwell in the very eye-in-the-pyramid -- that the current world monetary and financial system is on the verge of insolvency and that the world financial elites already have a successor system for which they are laying the groundwork."<br /> <strong>--Ralph Benko</strong>, <em>Forbes</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>Use your voice to lead us to a better future with this game-changing guide to redefining what power and authority sound likeーfrom a speech expert who’s worked with Hollywood’s biggest stars, political powerhouses, and businesspeople shaking up the status quo.</strong></p> <p><strong>“I <em>love</em> this bookーfunny, surprising, stirring, and so important! What a beautiful accomplishment and gift to put into the world.”ーRachel McAdams</strong></p> <p>Getting heard is a tricky business: It’s what you say and how you show up, filtered through your audience’s assumptions and biasesーand maybe even your own. For women, people of color, immigrants, and queer folks, there’s often a dissonance between how you speak and how we collectively think powerful people <em>should</em> speak: like the wealthy white men who’ve historically been in charge. But, fortunately, the sound of power is changing.</p> <p><em>Permission to Speak</em> is your tool kit for making that change. In this revolutionary take on how to use your voice to get what you want, sought-after speech coach Samara Bay offers a fresh perspective on public speaking and a new definition of what power sounds like: namely, you. Blending anecdotes with eye-opening research in leadership, linguistics, and social science, <em>Permission to Speak</em> shows you how to strike the right balance of strength and warmth to land your message; exactly what to do before a high-stakes scenario so that your voice, your mind, and your spirit are ready; and how to turn habits like vocal fry and upspeak into tools. Most important, you’ll discover your voice story: why you talk the way you do, what’s wonderful about it, and what you’ve outgrown.</p> <p>Fiery, fun, and truly profound, <em>Permission to Speak</em> is a personal and cultural reckoning with what speaking in public is and what it <em>can be</em>. This book meets the moment and offers this provocation: When we change what power sounds like, we change who has it.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong><em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER ? “The visionary author of <em>How to Do Nothing</em> returns to challenge the notion that ‘time is money.’ . . . Expect to feel changed by this radical way of seeing.”ー<em>Esquire</em></strong></p> <p><strong>“One of the most important books I’ve read in my life.”ーEd Yong, author of <em>An Immense World</em></strong></p> <p><strong>A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: <em>Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire,</em> Chicago Public Library, <em>Electric Lit</em></strong></p> <p>In her first book, <em>How to Do Nothing,</em> Jenny Odell wrote about the importance of disconnecting from the “attention economy” to spend time in quiet contemplation. But how can we reclaim our time?</p> <p>In order to answer this seemingly simple question, Odell took a deep dive into the fundamental structure of our society and found that the clock we live by was built for profit, not people. This is why our lives, even in leisure, have come to seem like a series of moments to be bought, sold, and processed ever more efficiently. Odell shows us how our painful relationship to time is inextricably connected not only to persisting social inequities but to the climate crisis, existential dread, and a lethal fatalism.</p> <p>This dazzling, subversive, and deeply hopeful book offers us different ways to experience timeーinspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological cues, and geological timescalesーthat can bring within reach a more humane, responsive way of living. As planet-bound animals, we live inside shortening and lengthening days alongside gardens growing, birds migrating, and cliffs eroding; the stretchy quality of waiting and desire; the way the present may suddenly feel marbled with childhood memory; the slow but sure procession of a pregnancy; the time it takes to heal from injuries. Odell urges us to become stewards of these different rhythms of life in which time is not reducible to standardized units and instead forms the very medium of possibility.</p> <p><em>Saving Time</em> tugs at the seams of reality as we know itーthe way we experience time itselfーand rearranges it, imagining a world not centered on work, the office clock, or the profit motive. If we can “save” time by imagining a life, identity, and source of meaning outside these things, time might also save us.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><strong>The next bull market is here. It’s not in stocks. It’s not in bonds. It’s in commodities ?and some smart investors will be riding that bull to record returns in the next decade.</strong></p> <p>Before Jim Rogers hit the road to write his bestselling books <em>Investment Biker</em> and <em>Adventure Capitalist,</em> he was one of the world’s most successful investors. He cofounded the Quantum Fund and made so much money that he never needed to work again. Yet despite his success, Rogers has never written a book of practical investment advice?until now.</p> <p>In <em>Hot Commodities,</em> Rogers offers the lowdown on the most lucrative markets for today and tomorrow. In 1998, gliding under the radar, a bull market in commodities began. Rogers thinks it’s going to continue for at least fifteen years?and he’s put his money where his mouth is: In 1998, he started his own commodities index fund. It’s up 165% since then, with more than $200 million invested, and it’s the single-best performing index fund in the world in any asset class. Less risky than stocks and less sluggish than bonds,, commodities are where the money is?and will be in the years ahead. Rogers’s strategies are simple and straightforward. You can start small?a few thousand dollars will suffice. It’s all about putting your money into stuff you understand, the basic materials of everyday life, like coal, sugar, cotton, corn, or crude oil. Once you recognize the cyclical and historical trading patterns outlined here, you’ll be on your way.</p> <p>In language that is both colorful and accessible, but Rogers explains why the world of commodity investing can be one of the simplest of all?and how commodities are the bases by which investors can value companies, markets, and whole economies. To be a truly great investor is to know something about commodities.</p> <p>For small investors and high rollers alike, <em>Hot Commodities</em> is as good as gold . . . or lead, or aluminum, which are some of the commodities Rogers says could be as rewarding for investors.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><strong>Get ready for the ultimate crash course in communicating and solving problems through simple pictures.</strong></p> <p>Thirty-two thousand years ago, your many-times-great-grandparents Oog and Aag drew pictures on the wall of a cave. They had an innate need to communicate, but no written language. So they found an easy and natural way to share their thoughts and stories.</p> <p>Today, after so many years when speaking and writing dominated, we're back in another highly visual age. About 90 percent of everything shared online is now visualーselfies, GIFs, smartphone videos, and more. This explosion of communication through pictures isn't a millenial-driven fad; it's as natural as those lines first drawn by Oog and Aag. Just turbo-charged by the latest technology.</p> <p>And yet over the past twenty years, as I've taught people from Fortune 500 CE0s to White House staffers how to harness the power of imagery, the biggest objection I've always heard is, "But I can't draw!" Trust me, you can. You don't need to be da Vinci to be an outstanding visual thinker and communicator. The most effective drawings are the simplest, and you can get good at those in three minutes. In this little book, I'll teach you how to use seven basic shapes to explain just about anything to just about anyone.</p> <p>If you've read my previous books, you'll see one or two familiar tools here, along with a bunch of new tools you can start using right away.</p> <p>If you're new to my approachーwelcome!

And there is no more powerful way to see hidden solutions than to pick up a pen and draw out the pieces of our problem."</p> <p>So writes Dan Roam in <em>The Back of the Napkin</em>, the international bestseller that proves that a simple drawing on a humble napkin can be more powerful than the slickest PowerPoint presentation. Drawing on twenty years of experience and the latest discoveries in vision science, Roam teaches readers how to clarify any problem or sell any idea using a simple set of tools.</p> <p>He reveals that everyone is born with a talent for visual thinking, even those who swear they can't draw. And he shows how thinking with pictures can help you discover and develop new ideas, solve problems in unexpected ways, and dramatically improve your ability to share your insights.</p> <p>Take Herb Kelleher and Rollin King, who figured out how to beat the traditional hub-and-spoke airlines with a bar napkin and a pen. Three dots to represent Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Three arrows to show direct flights. Problem solved, and the picture made it easy to sell Southwest Airlines to investors and customers.</p> <p>Now with more color, bigger pictures, and additional content, this new edition does an even better job of helping you literally see the world in a new way.

From downsizing our emotional baggage to speaking truth to power to fueling our activism with joy, it demonstrates the power of small, morally courageous steps to heal our own lives, our posse, and our larger communities.

<p><strong><em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER ? From the author of <em>Relationship Goals</em> . . . Will you be remembered as a person who claimed to follow God but liked to play it safe? Or as a person who lived your life out on the limb and trusted God enough to live in crazy faith?</strong></p> <p>Noah looked crazy when he started building the ark . . . until it started raining. It was crazy for Moses to lead a nation of people into the desert away from Egypt . . . until the Red Sea parted. It was crazy to believe that a fourteen-year-old virgin would give birth to the Son of God . . . until Mary held Jesus in her arms.</p> <p>There are many things that seem normal or average today that at one point in time seemed absolutely <em>crazy.</em> Smartphones, Wi-Fi, and even the electric light bulb were all groundbreaking, history-making inventions that started out as crazy ideas. Our see-it-to-believe-it generation tends to have a hard time exercising true faithーone that steps out, takes action, and sees mountain-moving results. Many of us would rather play it safe and stand on the sidelines, but it’s <em>crazy faith</em> that helps us see God move and reveals His promises.</p> <p>In <em>Crazy Faith,</em> Pastor Michael Todd shows us how to step out in faith and dive into the purposeful life of trusting God for the impossible. Even if you have to start with baby faith or maybe faith, you can become empowered to let go of your lazy faith, trust God through your hazy faith, and learn to live a lifestyle of crazy faith. With powerful stories of modern-day faith warriors who take their cues from biblical heroes, Michael Todd equips you to</p> <p>? believe for the impossible<br /> ? choose hope over fear<br /> ? be alert to the voice of God<br /> ? cope with loss and doubt<br /> ? develop a deeper level of trust in God<br /> ? speak faith-filled declarations<br /> ? inspire crazy faith in others</p> <p>God’s not looking for somebody to give Him all the reasons why His plans can’t happen.

<p>If you have not encountered Chuang Tzu before, prepare yourself for a treat. He was the sage who stood apart from all others in Chinese history. He was a unique presence, a great mind like no one before or since. Chuang Tzu quickly distinguished himself and became well known for his deep understanding and sense of humor. His mastery was such that he could explain the Tao with simple stories, and his humor was such that he could see the joy in ordinary things. He taught his students about “carefree wandering”ーthe path of moving through life with a free and happy heart, regardless of how turbulent the journey might be.</p> <p>It is time for modern readers to join in on the fun. Chuang Tzu’s wisdom is not just for Eastern culture, but for all of humanity. We may not have the instability or the clash of massive armies indicative of Chuang Tzu’s time, but we have a lot of stress and tension in our modern world. Many of us find ourselves fighting little battles on the personal front just to get through the day. We can benefit greatly from Chuang Tzu’s teachings. These parables are presented throughout this book and juxtaposed with the charming and intelligent prose of modern-day Taoist teacher and author Derek Lin. Together, Chuang Tzu and Lin will present you with simple lessons that will have a lasting impact on your life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><em><strong>Discover the revolutionary writing practice that can transform your life!</strong></em></p> <p>In 1976, Linda Trichter Metcalf, then a university English professor, sat down with pen and paper and intuitively started a self-guided writing practice that helped to bring herself into focus and clarify her life as never before. She and a colleague, Tobin Simon, introduced this original method into their classrooms. They experienced such solid response from their students that, for the last twenty-five years, they have devoted themselves to teaching what has now become the respected practice of Proprioceptive Writing??in workshops, secondary and elementary schools, and college psychology and writing classes around the country, among them the New School University.</p> <p>“Proprioception” comes from the Latin <em>proprius</em>, meaning “one’s own,” and this writing method helps synthesize emotion and imagination, generating authentic insight and catharsis. Proprioceptive Writing? is not formal writing, nor is it automatic or stream-of-consciousness writing. Requiring a regular, disciplined practice in a quiet environment, the method uses several aids to deepen attention and free the writer within: Baroque music, a candle, a pad, and a pen. Presenting Proprioceptive Writing? in book form for the first time, <em>Writing the Mind Alive</em> shows how you, too, can use it to<br /> ? Focus awareness, dissolve inhibitions, and build self-trust<br /> ? Unburden your mind and resolve emotional conflicts<br /> ? Connect more deeply with your spiritual self<br /> ? Write and speak with strength and clarity<br /> ? Enhance the benefits of psychotherapy<br /> ? Awaken your senses and emotions<br /> ? Liberate your creative energies</p> <p>Featuring actual “writes” by students of all ages, <em>Writing the Mind Alive</em> is a catalyst for mental and emotional aliveness that can truly enrich the rest of your life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><strong>A bold, hopeful, and thought-provoking account by “one of the world’s leading thinkers” (<em>The Observer</em>) of how we built a lonely world, how the pandemic accelerated the problem, and what we must do to come together again</strong></p> <p><strong>“A compelling vision for how we can bridge our many divides at this time of great change and disruption.”ーArianna Huffington, founder and CEO of Thrive Global</strong></p> <p>**“An important new book.”ー<em>The Economist</em></p> <p>NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB NOMINEE ? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <em>WIRED</em> (UK) AND <em>THE DAILY TELEGRAPH</em>**</p> <p>Loneliness has become the defining condition of the twenty-first century. It is damaging our health, our wealth, and our happiness and even threatening our democracy. Never has it been more pervasive or more widespread, but never has there been more that we can do about it.</p> <p>Even before a global pandemic introduced us to terms like “social distancing,” the fabric of community was unraveling and our personal relationships were under threat. And technology isn’t the sole culprit. Equally to blame are the dismantling of civic institutions, the radical reorganization of the workplace, the mass migration to cities, and decades of neoliberal policies that have placed self-interest above the collective good.</p> <p>This is not merely a mental health crisis. Loneliness increases our risk of heart disease, cancer, and dementia. Statistically, it’s as bad for our health as smoking fifteen cigarettes a day. It’s also an economic crisis, costing us billions annually. And it’s a political crisis, as feelings of marginalization fuel divisiveness and extremism around the world. But it’s also a crisis we have the power to solve.</p> <p>Combining a decade of research with firsthand reporting, Noreena Hertz takes us from a “how to read a face” class at an Ivy League university to isolated remote workers in London during lockdown, from “renting a friend” in Manhattan to nursing home residents knitting bonnets for their robot caregivers in Japan.</p> <p>Offering bold solutions ranging from compassionate AI to innovative models for urban living to new ways of reinvigorating our neighborhoods and reconciling our differences, <em>The Lonely Century</em> offers a hopeful and empowering vision for how to heal our fractured communities and restore connection in our lives.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

This book will restore your weary soul.”ーJennie Allen, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>Get Out of Your Head</em> and founder and visionary of IF:Gathering</strong></p> <p>Christy Nockels knows firsthand how easily our desire to serve Godーeven when using the gifts He has given usーcan overshadow our delight in simply being with Him. When God called her to lay down her ministry for a season, Christy was forced to confront how her sense of purpose and worth had become tangled up in her work. God then lovingly invited her to discover true rest in His presence as she learned to live as the Beloved.</p> <p>In <em>The Life You Long For,</em> Christy shows us how to let go of hustle and achievement and instead find our identity in the quiet center of God’s love. As we delight in being with Him, we are filled to overflowing with contentment and love that propel us into an entirely new way of being, one in which every act of service and every encounter with the people around us arise from a heart at rest.</p> <p>With irresistible warmth and grace, this book calls you to step fully into the life you didn’t even realize you’ve been seeking, as you find your highest calling not in a duty to uphold but in a beautiful identity to live out.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p><strong>Chip and Dan Heath, the bestselling authors of <em>Switch</em> and <em>Made to Stick</em>, tackle one of the most critical topics in our work and personal lives: how to make better decisions.</strong><br /> <br /> Research in psychology has revealed that our decisions are disrupted by an array of biases and irrationalities: We’re overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn’t. We get distracted by short-term emotions. When it comes to making choices, it seems, our brains are flawed instruments. Unfortunately, merely being aware of these shortcomings doesn’t fix the problem, any more than knowing that we are nearsighted helps us to see. The real question is: How can we do better?</p> <p>In <em>Decisive</em>, the Heaths, based on an exhaustive study of the decision-making literature, introduce a four-step process designed to counteract these biases. Written in an engaging and compulsively readable style, <em>Decisive</em> takes readers on an unforgettable journey, from a rock star’s ingenious decision-making trick to a CEO’s disastrous acquisition, to a single question that can often resolve thorny personal decisions.</p> <p>Along the way, we learn the answers to critical questions like these: How can we stop the cycle of <em>agonizing</em> over our decisions? How can we make group decisions without destructive politics? And how can we ensure that we don’t overlook precious opportunities to change our course? </p> <p><em>Decisive</em> is the Heath brothers’ most powerfulーand importantーbook yet, offering fresh strategies and practical tools enabling us to make better choices. Because the right decision, at the right moment, can make all the difference.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
<p><strong>A revelatory journey inside the world of Fox News and Roger Ailesーthe brash, sometimes combative network head who helped fuel the rise of Donald Trump</strong></p> <p><strong><em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> BESTSELLER ? NOW A SHOWTIME LIMITED SERIES ? NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR</strong></p> <p>When Rupert Murdoch enlisted Roger Ailes to launch a cable news network in 1996, American politics and media changed forever. With a remarkable level of detail and insight, <em>Vanity Fair</em> magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman puts Ailes’s unique genius on display, along with the outsize personalitiesーBill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Megyn Kelly, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, Gretchen Carlson, Bill Shine, and othersーwho have helped Fox News play a defining role in the great social and political controversies of the past two decades. From the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to the Bush-Gore recount, from the war in Iraq to the Tea Party attack on the Obama presidency, Roger Ailes developed an unrivaled power to sway the national agenda. Even more, he became the indispensable figure in conservative America and the man any Republican politician with presidential aspirations had to court.</p> <p>How did this man become the master strategist of our political landscape? In revelatory detail, Sherman chronicles the rise of Ailes, a frail kid from an Ohio factory town who, through sheer willpower, the flair of a showman, fierce corporate politicking, and a profound understanding of the priorities of middle America, built the most influential television news empire of our time.</p> <p>Drawing on hundreds of interviews with Fox News insiders past and present, Sherman documents Ailes’s tactical acuity as he battled the press, business rivals, and countless real and perceived enemies inside and outside Fox. Sherman takes us inside the morning meetings in which Ailes and other high-level executives strategized Fox’s presentation of the news to advance Ailes’s political agenda; provides behind-the-scenes details of Ailes’s crucial role as finder and shaper of talent, including his sometimes rocky relationships with Fox News stars such as O’Reilly, Hannity, and Carlson; and probes Ailes’s fraught partnership with his equally brash and mercurial boss, Rupert Murdoch.</p> <p>Roger Ailes’s life is a story worthy of <em>Citizen Kane</em>. Featuring an afterword about Ailes’s epic downfall during the extraordinary 2016 election, <em>The Loudest Voice in the Room</em> is an extraordinary feat of reportage with a compelling human drama at its heart.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Tired of being the "shefault" parent responsible for all aspects of her busy household, Eve Rodsky counted up all the unpaid, invisible work she was doing for her family -- and then sent that list to her husband, asking for things to change.

<p><strong>Simon Potter’s new message of hope and courage for a troubled world</strong></p> <p>Nearly twenty years ago in a Chicago parking lot, Og Mandino met a man who changed his life and who inspired millions of readers in the pages of Mandino’s classic bestseller <em>The Greatest Miracle in the World</em>. The man’s name was Simon Potter and he called himself a ragpickerーbecause he had devoted his life to rescuing people who had ended up on life’s refuse pile.

<p>**<em>NEW YORK TIMES</em> and <em>WALL STREET JOURNAL</em> BESTSELLER</p> <p>ONE OF <em>THE WASHINGTON POST'S</em> 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2015</p> <p>One of the world’s leading authorities on global security, Marc Goodman takes readers deep into the digital underground to expose the alarming ways criminals, corporations, and even countries are using new and emerging technologies against youーand how this makes everyone more vulnerable than ever imagined.**</p> <p>Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flip side: our technology can be turned against us. Hackers can activate baby monitors to spy on families, thieves are analyzing social media posts to plot home invasions, and stalkers are exploiting the GPS on smart phones to track their victims’ every move. We all know today’s criminals can steal identities, drain online bank accounts, and wipe out computer servers, but that’s just the beginning. To date, no computer has been created that could not be hackedーa sobering fact given our radical dependence on these machines for everything from our nation’s power grid to air traffic control to financial services.<br /> Yet, as ubiquitous as technology seems today, just over the horizon is a tidal wave of scientific progress that will leave our heads spinning. If today’s Internet is the size of a golf ball, tomorrow’s will be the size of the sun. Welcome to the Internet of Things, a living, breathing, global information grid where every physical object will be online. But with greater connections come greater risks. Implantable medical devices such as pacemakers can be hacked to deliver a lethal jolt of electricity and a car’s brakes can be disabled at high speed from miles away. Meanwhile, 3-D printers can produce AK-47s, bioterrorists can download the recipe for Spanish flu, and cartels are using fleets of drones to ferry drugs across borders.<br /> With explosive insights based upon a career in law enforcement and counterterrorism, Marc Goodman takes readers on a vivid journey through the darkest recesses of the Internet. Reading like science fiction, but based in science fact, <em>Future Crimes</em> explores how bad actors are primed to hijack the technologies of tomorrow, including robotics, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. These fields hold the power to create a world of unprecedented abundance and prosperity. But the technological bedrock upon which we are building our common future is deeply unstable and, like a house of cards, can come crashing down at any moment.<br /> <em>Future Crimes</em> provides a mind-blowing glimpse into the dark side of technological innovation and the unintended consequences of our connected world. Goodman offers a way out with clear steps we must take to survive the progress unfolding before us. Provocative, thrilling, and ultimately empowering, <em>Future Crimes</em> will serve as an urgent call to action that shows how we can take back control over our own devices and harness technology’s tremendous power for the betterment of humanityーbefore it’s too late.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
