To Save Everything, Click Here, the new book by the acclaimed author of The Net Delusion, Evgeny Morozov, is a penetrating look at the shape of society in the digital age, of the direction in which the 21st Century may take us, and of the alternate paths we can still chooseOur society is at a crossroads. Smart technology is transforming our world, making many aspects of our lives more convenient, efficient and - in some cases - fun. Better and cheaper sensors can now be embedded in almost everything, and technologies can log the products we buy and the way we use them. But, argues Evgeny Morozov, technology is having a more profound effect on us: it is changing the way we understand human society.In the very near future, technological systems will allow us to make large-scale and sophisticated interventions into many more areas of public life. These are the discourses by which we have always defined our civilisation: politics, culture, public debate, morality, humanism. But how will these discourses be affected when we delegate much of the responsibility for them to technology? The temptation of the digital age is to fix everything - from crime to corruption to pollution to obesity - by digitally quantifying, tracking, or gamifiying behaviour. Yet when we change the motivations for our moral, ethical and civic behaviour, do we also change the very nature of that behaviour? Technology, Morozov proposes, can be a force for improvement - but only if we abandon the idea that it is necessarily revolutionary and instead genuinely interrogate why and how we are using it.From urging us to drop outdated ideas of the internet to showing how to design more humane and democratic technological solutions, To Save Everything, Click Here is about why we should always question the way we use technology.'A devastating expos of cyber-utopianism by the world's most far-seeing Internet guru' John Gray, author of Straw Dogs'Evgeny Morozov is the most challenging - and best-informed - critic of the Techno-Utopianism surrounding the Internet. If you've ever had the niggling feeling, as you spoon down your google, that there's no such thing as a free lunch, Morozov's book will tell you how you might end up paying for it' Brian Eno'This hard-hitting book argues people have become enslaved to the machines they use to communicate.

Er der liv efter døden? Ja, det er der absolut, for døden er en illusion, og dette liv er ikke det eneste, vi lever. Hvor kommer vi så hen mellem de fysiske liv, hvordan ser en sådan verden hinsides tid og rum ud, og hvad laver vi der? Denne bog, den tredje i Den Spirituelle Nøddeskalsserie, afslører, hvad der sker, når vi dør. Forfatterne præsenterer en ekstraordinær indsigt i den åndelige verden: den verden, der eksisterer før og bag det fysiske plan, den verden der ligger bag sløret, dér hvor alt har sin oprindelse, en verden af harmoni, lyksalighed og kærlighed.Vi skal ikke blive ved med at leve i uvidenhed om den åndelige verden, og denne bog, der er baseret på Martinus´ ekstraordinære indsigt i livsmysteriet, løfter sløret, så vi selv kan se, hvad der venter os efter vores fysiske krops død. Den verden, der venter, er en af skønhed, visdom og indsigt og én vi kan glæde os til at passere ind i. Døden er en smuk oplevelse, og det er fantastisk dejligt at dø - vi ved det bare ikke. Så tag et smugkig ind i denne vidunderlige verden, så du bliver vidende om og forberedt på, hvad der venter. Det er en verden, der overstiger dine vildeste drømme.

Marcus Aurelius var kendt som filosoffen på kejsertronen, da han skrev en lang række stoiske aforismer på græsk under sine mange felttog. Aforismerne er samlet i værket Ta eis heauton (Tanker til sig selv). Hans filosofi er præget af en beskeden og værdig holdning til livets tilskikkelser. En del af hans tanker ligner kristendommens, som han i øvrigt bekæmpede. Lighederne skyldes, at også kristendommens var påvirket af stoicismen.
