2012, la fin du monde n'aura pas lieu: la prophétie maya réfutée par la science
Par Alain Cirou. 2010
Le 21 décembre 2012 sera un jour à marquer d'une pierre noire... En cette date de solstice d'hiver, le compte…
du calendrier maya s'arrête, présageant la fin du monde. Ses prophètes, nouveaux hérauts de l'Apocalypse, inondent la Toile de scénarios d'une brutalité effrayante, qui convoquent les forces les plus maléfiques du Ciel et de la Terre au service de la destruction la plus radicale, la plus définitive d'un monde qui n'en demandait pas tant. Un alignement planétaire néfaste ouvre les hostilités et nous vaut la malédiction de la planète fantôme Nibiru. Un Soleil irascible bombarde de particules une Terre secouée d'épouvantables tremblements... C'est beaucoup, c'est trop, tellement que ça en devient suspect. Avec pour seules armes quelques grammes de raison, une bonne dose d'humour et une pincée d'anecdotes croustillantes, Alain Cirou endigue ce débordement de croyances et d'irrationnel et donne les clés des connaissances scientifiques actuelles sur notre environnement planétaire. Rien de tel qu'un peu de savoir et une bonne bouffée d'humanité pour chasser les spectres de l'ignorance et du vide. -- 4e de couvLa révolution Facebook

géré sa phénoménale croissance ? David Kirkpatrick, chroniqueur technologique chevronné du magazine Fortune, a bénéficié de la coopération complète des responsables de Facebook, de leurs collaborateurs et de leurs amis pour reconstituer l'histoire fascinante du site de réseautage social. Il nous montre comment Mark Zuckerberg, en donnant la priorité à la croissance sur les bénéfices, a refusé à maintes reprises de compromettre sa vision à long terme : dominer la communication sur Internet. Intuitions géniales, erreurs, ballet des collaborateurs et conseillers, chassé-croisé épique avec les capital-risqueurs la firme de Palo Alto ne cesse de rebondir d'une innovation à l'autre pour devenir une entité qui a changé la vie sociale aux États-Unis et ailleurs. Facebook est devenu une présence incontournable dans la pub et le marketing, avec des implications dans la politique, le monde des affaires, et même dans notre conception de l'identité individuelle. C'est cela, l'effet Facebook. " -- 4e de couvInside WikiLeaks: dans les coulisses du site Internet le plus dangereux du monde

l'un des acteurs principaux de l'affaire, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, s'impose à lui-même le principe de transparence totale prôné par WikiLeaks et raconte tout, sans détours ni censure. Qui envoie, reçoit, gère, filtre l'information? Comment fonctionne le site en interne? Qui y travaille? Pour qui, pour quoi, et pour combien ? A qui profitent les fuites. A qui nuisent-elles?

Par Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. 2023
Will artificial intelligence improve the way we work and live, or will it alienate us? The choice is ours. What…
will we decide? It's no secret that AI is changing the way we live, work, love, and entertain ourselves. Dating apps are using AI to pick our potential partners. Retailers are using AI to predict our behavior and desires. Rogue actors are using AI to persuade us with Twitter bots and fake news. Companies are using AI to hire us-or not. This is just the beginning. As AI becomes smarter and more humanlike, our societies, our economies, and our humanity will undergo the most dramatic changes we've seen since the Agricultural Revolution. Some of these changes will enhance our species. Others may dehumanize us and make us more machinelike in our interactions with others. It's up to us to adapt and determine how we want to live and work. Are you ready? In I, Human psychologist Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic offers a guide for reclaiming ourselves in a world in which most of our decisions will be made for us. To do so, we'll need to double down on what makes us so special-our curiosity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence-while relying on the lost virtues of empathy, humility, and self-control. Filled with big-think fascinations and practical wisdom, I, Human is the book we need to thrive in the futureShopify for dummies
