Explores how notions of ownership have shifted in the digital marketplace, and makes an argument for the benefits of personal…
property. E-books, cloud storage, streaming, and other digital goods offer users convenience and flexibility. But consumers should be aware of the trade-offs involving user constraints, permanence, and privacy. The rights of private property are clear, but few people manage to read their end user agreements. The authors argue that introducing aspects of private property and ownership into the digital marketplace would offer both legal and economic benefits. But more importantly, it would affirm our sense of self-direction and autonomy. If we own our purchases, we are free to make whatever lawful use of them we please. Technology need not constrain our freedom; it can also empower us. 2016.

Only one generation in history (ours) will experience life both with and without the internet. For everyone who follows us,…
online life will simply be the air they breathe. Today, we revel in ubiquitous information and constant connection, rarely stopping to consider the implications for our logged-on lives. The author chronicles this massive shift, exploring what we've gained and lost in the bargain. He argues that our greatest loss has been that of absence itself -- of silence, wonder and solitude. Winner of the 2014 Governor General’s Award for Non-fiction. 2014.

More and more of our social, political and religious activities are modelling themselves after the World Wide Web. A committed…
anarchist, Vaidhyanathan shows how the key information structure of our time is the 'peer-to-peer network'. These networks have always existed - gossip is one example, as is word-of-mouth advertising - but with the rise of electronic communication, they are suddenly coming into their own. And they are drawing the outlines of a battle for information that will determine much of the culture and politics of our century. Everything from culture to terrorism and extremist politics to religion will be affected. 2005.

" Si c'était un film, on aurait accusé les scénaristes d'être outrageusement irréalistes... Telle est pourtant la réalité que le…
monde a découverte le 6 juin 2013 : une surveillance d'une ampleur démesurée s'est mise en place. Elle vise à recueillir les moindres détails de nos vies : communications téléphoniques, e-mails, consultation du Web, déplacements... Enquête sur l'espionnage numérique. Comment est née la NSA, comment a-t-elle été dotée d'un pouvoir presque sans limites au lendemain du 11 septembre 2001, avec des milliards de dollars à l'appui ? Comment Edward Snowden a-t-il réussi ? un véritable thriller ? à extraire des milliers de documents afin d'exposer ce que nos gouvernants cherchaient à nous cacher, et de poser cette question : est-ce là le monde où nous désirons voir nos enfants grandir ? Ce livre expose une réalité qui dépasse la science-fiction la plus audacieuse. Une situation dans laquelle la vie privée de chacun de nous n'existe pratiquement plus. Il se trouve aussi que ? en dépit des protestations de façade de nos dirigeants ? les agences de renseignement collaborent allègrement entre elles pour mieux pister la trace de chacun de nous. Au cas où... Comme l'a déclaré Ira Hunt, l'un des partisans de cette collecte à très grande échelle : Nous essayons de tout recueillir et de le conserver à tout jamais. Existe-t-il encore des possibilités de communiquer en toute quiétude, sans être espionné par des oreilles ou yeux indiscrets ? Oui, dans une certaine mesure, et ce livre s'attache également à décrire les moyens de défendre ce qui nous reste de vie privée. " -- 4e de couv.
