Paperback. Condizione: Good. Todo lo que no quieres pero necesitas saber sobre el poder, la economía, la sociedad y las telecomunicaciones en la era de la información. La red no es libre, ni abierta ni democrática. Es un conjunto de servidores, conmutadores, satélites, antenas, routers y cables de fibra óptica controlados por un número cada vez más pequeño de empresas. Es un lenguaje y una burocracia de protocolos que hacen que las máquinas hablen, normas de circulación que conducen el tráfico, microdecisiones que definen su eficiencia. Si la consideramos un único proyecto llamado internet, podemos decir que es la infraestructura más grande jamás construida, y el sistema que define todos los aspectos de nuestra sociedad. Y sin embargo es secreta. Su tecnología está oculta, enterrada, sumergida o camuflada; sus algoritmos son opacos; sus microdecisiones son irrastreables. Los centros de datos que almacenan y procesan la información están ocultos y protegidos por armas, criptografía, propiedad intelectual y alambre de espino. La infraestructura crítica de nuestro tiempo está fuera de nuestra vista. No podemos comprender la lógica, la intención y el objetivo de lo que no vemos. Todas las conversaciones que tenemos sobre esa infraestructura son en realidad conversaciones sobre su interfaz, un conjunto de metáforas que se interpone entre nosotros y el sistema. Un lenguaje diseñado, no para facilitar nuestra comprensión de esa infraestructura, sino para ofuscarla. El enemigo conoce el sistema pero nosotros no. Este libro te ayudará a conocerlo, y a comprender por qué la herramienta más democratizadora de la historia se ha convertido en una máquina de vigilancia y manipulación de masas al servicio de regímenes autoritarios. Solo así podremos convertirla en lo que más falta nos hace: una herramienta para gestionar la crisis que se avecina de la manera más humana posible. No tenemos un segundo que perder. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Everything you may not want to, but need to know about power, economics, society, and telecommunications in the information age.   The internet is not free and open, nor is it democratic. It is a combination of servers, switches, satellites, antennas, routers, and fiber optic cables controlled by a small number of companies which continues to become smaller. It is a specific language and a bureaucracy of protocols that make machines communicate, traffic rules that drive the flow of communication, and micro decisions that outline their efficiency. If we consider it one single project called the internet, we can say that it is the largest infrastructure ever built, and the system that defines all aspects of our society. And yet it is all a secret. Its technology is hidden, buried, submerged or camouflaged; its algorithms are blurred; its micro decisions have no rhyme or reason. It is a language designed, not to simplify our understanding of its infrastructure, but to disguise it.   This book will help you get to know the system, and to understand why the most democratizing tool in history has become a mechanism for mass surveillance and manipulation to benefit authoritarian regimes. Only by understanding it can we turn it into what we most need: a tool to manage the crisis that is approaching in the most human way possible. We must act now.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Este libro habla de las estrategias de accion ciudadana con las que hacer frente a la aceleracion del feudalismo climatico y el capitalismo desastre. Un nuevo relato antiapocaliptico para construir un futuro esperanzador. Es la historia mas vieja del mundo, la de un desastre medioambiental y una tecnologia que nos salva. La hemos repetido como un mantra desde el principio de los tiempos porque hasta ahora se ha revelado cierta: somos el animal mas peligroso de la sabana y hemos vencido a las bestias, a las tormentas y a la enfermedad. Pero la estrategia evolutiva que nos ha mantenido vivos desde el inicio de nuestra existencia nos empuja ahora al borde de la extincion. Estamos tan atrapados que ya nos parece inevitable. No es un problema tecnico. A nuestro alcance hay soluciones para frenar el calentamiento global. Pero las grandes tecnologias de nuestro tiempo no pueden ayudarnos a gestionar la crisis climatica, porque estan disenadas con otro objetivo muy distinto: gestionarnos a nosotros durante la crisis climatica.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This book refers to the strategies undertaken by citizens to tackle the acceleration of climate feudalism and disastrous capitalism. A new anti-apocalyptic tale to create a hopeful future. This is the oldest tale there is, an environmental disaster and the technology to save us. We have said it over and over like a mantra from the beginning of time, since it has been proved correct to this day: we are the most dangerous animal in the savanna and we have defeated beasts, storms, and disease. But the evolutionary strategy that has kept us alive since the dawn of our existence now drives us to the edge of extinction. We feel so trapped we think of it as inevitable. This is not a technical problem. We have solutions within our grasp to stop global warming. But the great technologies of our time can't help us manage this climate crisis, since they were designed for a very different purposeto manage ourselves during this time.
