Summary:
Les nouvelles technologies recomposent le monde selon leur propre logique, celle de la performance et de l’efficacité. Elles renforcent le règne de la compétition et l’exigence d’aller toujours plus vite, de se mobiliser intégralement pour son entreprise et sur les « réseaux sociaux », d’être capable de s’adapter à toutes les évolutions technoculturelles, sous peine(...)

Summary:
Les nouvelles technologies recomposent le monde selon leur propre logique, celle de la performance et de l’efficacité. Elles renforcent le règne de la compétition et l’exigence d’aller toujours plus vite, de se mobiliser intégralement pour son entreprise et sur les « réseaux sociaux », d’être capable de s’adapter à toutes les évolutions technoculturelles, sous peine d’être exclu. L’Homme numérique croit avoir trouvé l’autonomie en se débarrassant des pesanteurs du vieux monde matériel. « Enfin libre! », dit-il, alors qu’au contraire, il dépend de plus en plus de dispositifs technoscientifiques. Pour rester dans la course et tenter de maîtriser un réel qui lui échappe, il multiplie les machines. Mais ce sont elles qui désormais le possèdent.

Summary:
Les nouvelles technologies, en dématérialisant les activités humaines, permettraient de réduire l’impact de la croissance sur la biosphère, voire, pour les plus enthousiastes, pourraient résoudre la crise environnementale. Dans ce travail précis et informé, les auteurs montrent l’impact environnemental réel du numérique en s’appuyant sur de nombreuses études. Ils(...)

L'humain augmenté
$14.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Si l’humain augmenté est le dernier avatar de l’utopie technique, il exacerbe la vision purement informationnelle de l’homme et de son rapport à l’autre. Lorsqu’on parle d’humain augmenté, on sous-entend en général un individu plus fort, plus intelligent, à la longévité plus longue, etc. Autrement dit, on pense à une augmentation de ses capacités. Dès lors, l’individu se(...)

Si l’humain augmenté est le dernier avatar de l’utopie technique, il exacerbe la vision purement informationnelle de l’homme et de son rapport à l’autre. Lorsqu’on parle d’humain augmenté, on sous-entend en général un individu plus fort, plus intelligent, à la longévité plus longue, etc. Autrement dit, on pense à une augmentation de ses capacités. Dès lors, l’individu se trouve réduit à un ensemble de fonctions motrices, cognitives, etc. L’altérité disparaît. Il n’y a plus de rupture entre l’homme et la machine, la pensée elle-même étant conceptualisée comme une propriété émergente des interactions au sein d’un substrat matériel biologique ou électronique.

We turn on the lights in our house from a desk in an office miles away. Our refrigerator alerts us to buy milk on the way home. A package of cookies on the supermarket shelf suggests that we buy it, based on past purchases. The cookies themselves are on the shelf because of a “smart” supply chain.

Summary:
We turn on the lights in our house from a desk in an office miles away. Our refrigerator alerts us to buy milk on the way home. A package of cookies on the supermarket shelf suggests that we buy it, based on past purchases. The cookies themselves are on the shelf because of a “smart” supply chain. When we get home, the thermostat has already adjusted the temperature so that it’s toasty or bracing, whichever we prefer. This is the Internet of Things — a networked world of connected devices, objects, and people. In this book, Samuel Greengard offers a guided tour through this emerging world and how it will change the way we live and work.

Summary:
Digital technologies—with hardware, software, and networks at their core—will in the near future diagnose diseases more accurately than doctors can, apply enormous data sets to transform retailing, and accomplish many tasks once considered uniquely human. In The Second Machine Age MIT’s Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, reveal the forces driving the reinvention of our lives and our economy. As the full impact of digital technologies is felt, we will realize immense bounty in the form of dazzling personal technology, advanced infrastructure, and near-boundless access to the cultural items that enrich our lives. A fundamentally optimistic book, The Second Machine Age alters how we think about issues of technological, societal, and economic progress.

Deep mapping the media city
$13.99
(available in store)
Summary:
Going beyond current scholarship on the media city and the smart city, Shannon Mattern argues that our global cities have been mediated and intelligent for millennia. Deep Mapping the Media City advocates for urban media archaeology, a multisensory approach to investigating the material history of networked cities.
