Das Rote Team greift an, das Blaue Team verteidigt – so sind die Regeln in der Cyber-Security. Marty Hench ist ein alter Veteran des Silicon Valley, und er war schon immer Team Rot. Als IT-Experte und Ermittler hat er Konzerne, Oligarchen und Drogenkartelle verfolgt. Sein neuester Auftrag: gestohlene Security-Keys zurückholen, die ein Milliardenvermögen in Crypto-Währung wert sind. Aber dann dreht sich der Spieß um, Marty wird vom Jäger zum Gejagten – und nichts hasst er mehr, als im Blauen Team spielen zu müssen. Doch diesmal ist es ein tödliches Spiel …

It’s thirty years from now. We’re making progress, mitigating climate change, slowly but surely. But what about all the angry old people who can’t let go? For young Americans a generation from now, climate change isn't controversial. It's just an overwhelming fact of life. And so are the great efforts to contain and mitigate it. Entire cities are being moved inland from the rising seas. Vast clean-energy projects are springing up everywhere. Disaster relief, the mitigation of floods and superstorms, has become a skill for which tens of millions of people are trained every year. The effort is global. It employs everyone who wants to work. Even when national politics oscillates back to right-wing leaders, the momentum is too great; these vast programs cannot be stopped in their tracks. But there are still those Americans, mostly elderly, who cling to their red baseball caps, their grievances, their huge vehicles, their anger. To their "alternative" news sources that reassure them that their resentment is right and pure and that "climate change" is just a giant scam. And they're your grandfather, your uncle, your great-aunt. And they're not going anywhere. And they’re armed to the teeth. The Lost Cause asks: What do we do about people who cling to the belief that their own children are the enemy? When, in fact, they're often the elders that we love?

This isn't a book for people who want to fix Big Tech. It's a detailed disassembly manual for people who want to dismantle it.

A hard-charging, hard-fighting techno-thriller detective story about a forensic accountant, Marty, who is coming out of retirement for one last job. Helping out a pal who has built a new cryptocurrency, his plans are in ruins when the keys are stolen - and a billion dollars of exposure granted to whoever got hold of them. When Marty finds out where the keys are, he quickly becomes implicated with two different criminal cartels, each more dangerous than the last...

"People are feeling squeezed because of chokepoint capitalism: exploitative businesses creating barriers to competition that let them take over markets and extract an unfair share of value. This book teaches how to spot those chokepoints, and what we can do to blow them up"-- Provided by publisher

Masha Maximov hat einen gut bezahlten Job bei der Cybersecurity-Firma Xoth Intelligence, wo sie sich im Auftrag von Regierungen weltweit in die Accounts von Dissidenten und Aktivisten hackt. Manchmal nutzt Masha ihre Fertigkeiten aber auch, denselben Aktivisten und Dissidenten dabei zu helfen, einem Hackerangriff zu entgehen. Dieses gefährliche Doppelspiel war aufregend, solange es um Leute in anderen Ländern ging. Doch der neueste Auftraggeber von Xoth Intelligence ist die Regierung von einem Land ähnlich wie Mashas Heimat. Masha steht vor der schwersten Entscheidung ihres Lebens …

"A call to action for the creative class and labor movement to rally against the power of Big Tech and Big Media. Corporate concentration has breached the stratosphere, as have corporate profits. An ever-expanding constellation of industries are now monopolies (where sellers have excessive power over buyers) or monopsonies (where buyers hold the whip hand over sellers)--or both. In Chokepoint Capitalism, scholar Rebecca Giblin and writer and activist Cory Doctorow argue we're in a new era of "chokepoint capitalism," with exploitative businesses creating insurmountable barriers to competition that enable them to capture value that should rightfully go to others. All workers are weakened by this, but the problem is especially well-illustrated by the plight of creative workers. From Amazon's use of digital rights management and bundling to radically change the economics of book publishing, to Google and Facebook's siphoning away of ad revenues from news media, and the Big Three record labels' use of inordinately long contracts to up their own margins at the cost of artists, chokepoints are everywhere. By analyzing book publishing and news, live music and music streaming, screenwriting, radio and more, Giblin and Doctorow deftly show how powerful corporations construct "anti-competitive flywheels" designed to lock in users and suppliers, make their markets hostile to new entrants, and then force workers and suppliers to accept unfairly low prices. In the book's second half, Giblin and Doctorow then explain how to batter through those chokepoints, with tools ranging from transparency rights to collective action and ownership, radical interoperability, contract terminations, job guarantees, and minimum wages for creative work. Chokepoint Capitalism is a call to workers of all sectors to unite to help smash these chokepoints and take back the power and profit that's being heisted away--before it's too late."-- Page 4 of cover
