    The bicycle is a vestige of the Victorian era, seemingly out of pace with our age of smartphones and ridesharing apps and driverless cars. Yet we live on a bicycle planet. Across the world, more people travel by bicycle than by any other form of transportation. Almost anyone can learn to ride a bike—and nearly everyone does. In Two Wheels Good, writer and critic Jody Rosen reshapes our understanding of this ubiquitous machine, an ever-present force in humanity's life and dreamlife, and a flashpoint in culture wars for more for than 200 years.

    In 2004, Android was two people who wanted to build camera software, but couldn't get investors interested. Today, Android is a large team at Google, delivering an operating system (including camera software) to over 3 billion devices worldwide. This is the inside story, told by the people who made it happen. Androids: The Team That Built the Android Operating System is a firsthand chronological account of how the startup began, how the team came together, and how they all built an operating system from the kernel level to its applications, and everything in between.

    The term metaverse is suddenly everywhere, from debates over Fortnite to the pages of the New York Times to the speeches of Mark Zuckerberg, who proclaimed in June 2021 that “the overarching goal” of Facebook is to “bring the metaverse to life”. But what, exactly, is the metaverse? As pioneering theorist and venture capitalist Matthew Ball explains, it is the successor to the mobile internet that has defined the last two decades.

    Metaverso es un acrónimo compuesto por meta, un término griego que significa “más allá” y verso que hace referencia a “universo”, por lo cual significa “el universo que está más allá”, entendiendo que se refiere a entornos donde los humanos interactúan social y económicamente como avatares en un ciberespacio sin las limitaciones del mundo físico y compuesto por múltiples espacios virtuales tridimensionales compartidos.

    Locked away in refrigerated vaults, sanitized by gas chambers, and secured within bombproof caverns deep under mountains are America's most prized materials: the ever-expanding collection of records that now accompany each of us from birth to death. This data complex backs up and protects our most vital information against decay and destruction, and yet it binds us to corporate and government institutions whose power is also preserved in its bunkers, infrastructures, and sterilized spaces.

    Wie ein Boom an Innovationen die größten Probleme der Menschheit lösen und unser Leben verändern wird. Autos, die kein Benzin mehr verbrennen, an keine Steckdose mehr müssen und allein über die Straßen steuern. Getreide, das mit wenigen Tropfen Wasser wächst und ganze Dörfer ernährt. Krankheiten, die von allein Alarm schlagen und sich selbst ausrotten - zu schön, um wahr zu sein? Im Gegenteil: Zum ersten Mal könnten diese Dinge Wirklichkeit werden. Christoph Keese hat mit deutschen Erfindern, Gründerinnen, Investoren und Innovatorinnen gesprochen, in ihre Werkstätten und Labors geschaut.

    There is a lot of hype, hand waving, and ink being spilled about Artificial Intelligence (AI) in business. The amount of coverage of this topic in the trade press and on shareholder calls is evidence of a large change currently underway. It is awesome and terrifying. What started as an inquiry into how executives can adopt AI to harness the best of human and machine capabilities turned into a much more profound rumination on the future of humanity and enterprise.
