Imagine you could have a different body. What would you be ? Imagine you could inhabit a different world. Where would go ? Imagine if the only restrictions whatsoever were the limits of your imagination. What would you do ? Welcome to the great adventure of our times. Inventor, philosopher and visionary computer scientist Jaron Lanier coined the term 'virtual reality' almost thirty years ago. Now, thanks to technologies that he invented and pioneered, his vision is coming to life. It will be one of the most fertile advances in the history of human invention -- and it will change everything. Blending memoir and philosophy, thought experiments and cognitive science, Lanier takes us on an intoxicating personal journey- from his outsider's upbringing in the desert of New Mexico and the birth of Silicon Valley amidst the countercultural ethos of the '70s to the pioneering edge of digital technology, immersing the reader in the extravagant possibilities that lie ahead. Awesome, inspiring, creative and humane, this journey will change your understanding of what we can be and what we can do.

In "Tien argumenten om je sociale media-accounts nu meteen te verwijderen' stelt Silicon Valley-pionier Jaron Lanier dat een leven zonder sociale media ons aardiger, verstandiger en gelukkiger maakt. Sociale media hebben de neiging het slechtste in ons naar boven te halen. Ze maken ons dommer, egoïstischer en willozer. Ze misleiden ons met illusies van populariteit en succes. Ze geven ons het idee meer "verbonden' te zijn dan ooit, terwijl we in werkelijkheid van andere mensen vervreemd raken.We denken zelf te kiezen, maar worden voortdurend bestookt met gerichte advertenties en zijn weerloos tegenover algoritmen van de rijkste bedrijven ter wereld, die verdienen aan de manipulatie van hun gebruikers. In tien scherpzinnige argumenten fileert Lanier het kwaad van de sociale media en geeft hij een aanzet tot een rijkere, menselijkere manier van online netwerken. Bron : http://www.bol.com

Digital systems change the way power is gained, lost, distributed and defended in human affairs. This text looks at the survival of the middle class on the surface, and about the role of ego and sentiment in personhood in its depths.
