A Era da Informação, que mudou radicalmente nosso dia a dia, provocou também alterações enormes nas guerras, tanto nas declaradas quanto naquelas que se desenrolam nas cidades violentas. A comunicação se tornou rápida e eficiente, e se isso vale para as forças da lei vale também para os que vivem à margem da lei, criando, às vezes, um estado paralelo dentro do Estado. Claro que os militares precisam acompanhar a expansão tecnológica e o fluxo rápido de informações, para não ficarem atrás das organizações criminosas.

The dream of capturing and organizing knowledge is as old as history. From the archives of ancient Sumeria and the Library of Alexandria to the Library of Congress and Wikipedia, humanity has wrestled with the problem of harnessing its intellectual output.

In Cataloging the World, Alex Wright introduces us to a figure who stands out in the long line of thinkers and idealists who devoted themselves to the task.

Hace ahora veinticinco años se publicaba La Casa, el primer libro que se atrevía en España a desvelar los misterios del entonces Cesid, ahora CNI. Fue tal el impacto que produjo, que durante tres meses fue el libro de no ficción más vendido en toda España. Hasta en el Congreso dos diputados -Álvarez Cascos, del PP, y Mur, del PAR- criticaron al entonces gobierno socialista por no contar lo que ya sabían gracias a La Casa.

Alan Turing can be regarded as one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century. But who was Turing, and what did he achieve during his tragically short life of 41 years?

Mental healthcare in America is a maze — by design. Imagine a sprawling house in which every room, doorway, and hall passage was designed by a different architect. Doorways don't connect. Staircases lead to nowhere. Rooms are cut off from each other.

Lost Patients is a deeply-reported, six-part docuseries examining...
