Dieser Autor widmet sich der Schaffung einer empathischen und vernetzten Gesellschaft, eine Mission, die sich durch seine Arbeit als Software-Ingenieur und seine literarischen Schöpfungen zieht. Sein Roman entstand als Reaktion auf den stark parteiischen und politisierten nationalen Diskurs und untersucht, wie ideologisch gegensätzliche Individuen zusammenkommen können. Durch fesselnde Charaktere und packende Situationen beleuchtet der Autor den Weg zum Verständnis. Seine erzählerischen Fähigkeiten verfeinert er durch das Spielen von Pen-and-Paper-Rollenspielen.

Risk and Hyperconnectivity brings together for the first time three paradigms of work: new risk theory, neoliberalization theory and connectivity theory, to illuminate how the kaleidoscope of risk events in the opening years of the new century have recharged a neoliberal battlespace of media, economy and security.
This overview of the financial history of St John's College, Oxford from the College's foundation in 1555 up until 1980 documents in detail how the richest college in Oxford very nearly lost everything. As well as providing a window on the past, Intellectual Capital also gives historical perspective to challenges the College faces today.Drawing on three main data sources - including the College's own archives and the Ministry of Housing and local government records available at the National Archives - Intellectual Capital establishes a quantitative overview of College's financial history and investigates in depth the financial decision-making behind, and consequences of, the development of North Oxford. Despite St John's' extensive records and a more varied financial history than almost any other Oxbridge college, this is the first time the finances of St John's have received such detailed attention.
The new warfare is chaotic. 'Smart' devices, apps, archives and algorithms are blurring the boundaries between victims, perpetrators and bystanders; civilians and soldiers; memory and history. This book shows how the digital explosion has fragmented the battlefield, weaponised attention, and made everyone a participant in wars without end. Radical War reveals how contemporary conflicts are planned, fought, experienced, legitimised, remembered and forgotten in a continuous, connected way. As with all current events today, both those on the front line and those watching from afar are processing war through digitally saturated fields of perception. In other words, data and attention are now the primary drivers in battle--and they provide the means to take control. This highly original work illuminates the emerging, dystopian ecology of war. Through a unique, interdisciplinary lens, Ford and Hoskins map the complex digital and human inter-dependencies that sustain conflict today.
