  1. Statut de Derek Caelin (argus@mastodon.technology) sur Wednesday, 18-Nov-2020 22:29:51 CET Derek Caelin Derek Caelin

    Most tech #books are frustratingly incapable of predicting the future, and 2006's #Code 2.0 is no exception. But it holds up better than many, and identifies four key #cyberspace themes still relevant today: #regulation - by states, and by code - competing #sovereignty, and latent ambiguity.

      Next book is "City at World's End" by Edmond Hamilton, a 1950s #scifi book hosted on #Librivox.

      Thus far, it's classic 1950s fare. A square-jawed team of white man scientists are flung into the far future along with their town. The local government is weak, the women are frail and must be protected.

      For all that the premise is interesting - reminds me of "The Night Land" and "The City and the Stars" - post post post apocalypse cities surviving on doomed worlds.

      Next read is "The Buried Giant," by Kazuo Ishiguro.

      Post-Aurthurian legend where nobody can form long term memories.

      Next read: I've got the audiobook of Margaret Atwood's "The Testaments". Figured I'd intersperse the heavy stuff with *some* fiction.

      This pretty little number is my next read, the Verso Book of Dissent.

      Thanks to @mayel for the recommendation. I think I have a different edition, but it still looks good.

      I didn't realize when i bought it that the book was written 2006, but I'm still pretty interested to read "Producing Open Source Software," by Karl Fogel.

      I just joined an #opensource software company and I have a lot to learn.

      I finished "The Power" by Naomi Alderman today.

      I didn't enjoy the read, but it was thought provoking. The central thesis of the book seemed to be, "our society is based on power, and if women were stronger than men we would see the same oppressive dynamics we see now, reversed."

      That's a grim thought.

      Next book is The Entrepreneurial State, by Mariana Mazzucato.

      I'm going to try not to overdo it with the social notes. It's a library book due back soon, and I'm not sure writing down everything helps me absorb the content.

      Still, I'm excited to dive into another #NewConsensus book.

      I read Kiss the Ground (and other #ClimateCrisis literature) and I get so angry. As a species we're sinking into climate destruction and still, the world's largest #agriculture countries (looking at you, #US) can't take dramatic action. Only 53% of the country thinks #ClimateChange is major problem; only 49% think humans have something to do with it. This is the struggle of our time and, collectively, we're asleep. https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2020/09/29/concern-over-climate-and-the-environment-predominates-among-these-publics/
