ISBN: 9780125971218 / Angielski / Miękka / 728 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych.

But these results are by no means inevitable: a systematic campaign to protect the entrenched industrial information economy of the last century threatens the promise of today's emerging networked...

But as Paul Levinson shows in this volume, when it comes to essential aspects of life we prefer to take our bodies with us. Whether it's trains, planes, scooters of pogo sticks, we want to really move through our world. Is planet earth the end of the line, or is space itself the next stop? In an inquiry that ranges from robots to religion, Paul Levinson asks why there is a deep-seated human desire to know what's out there. Full of examples, Realspace asks some searching questions about space and the way we think about it. Why,...

Code: And Other Laws of Cyberspace, Version 2.0
ISBN: 9780465039142 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. There's a common belief that cyberspace cannot be regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the government's (or anyone else's) control. Code, first published in 2000, argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature of cyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no "nature." It only has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is. That code can create a place of freedom-as the original architecture of the Net did-or a place of oppressive control. Under the influence of commerce, cyberspace is becoming a highly regulable space, where behavior...
