Os avanços tecnolĂłgicos tĂŞm beneficiado nosso mundo de maneiras inimagináveis, mas há um lado sinistro: a tecnologia pode se voltar contra nĂłs. Os hackers podem ativar babás eletrĂ´nicas para espionar as famĂlias, os ladrões estĂŁo analisando as redes sociais para planejar invasões de domicĂlio e os stalkers estĂŁo explorando o GPS de smartphones para monitorar cada movimento de suas vĂtimas, mas isso Ă© apenas o começo. Com uma sĂłlida carreira em segurança pĂşblica e contraterrorismo, Marc Goodman leva os leitores a uma jornada pelos recantos mais sombrios da internet. Como uma leitura de ficção cientĂfica, mas com base em fatos cientĂficos, Future Crimes explora como os criminosos estĂŁo prontos para sequestrar as tecnologias do futuro, incluindo a robĂłtica, a biologia sintĂ©tica e a inteligĂŞncia artificial. Goodman oferece uma saĂda com os passos claros que devemos tomar para sobreviver ao progresso que se desdobra diante de nĂłs. Future Crimes mostra como podemos retomar o controle de nossos dispositivos e explorar o enorme poder da tecnologia para o avanço da humanidade, antes que seja tarde demais. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:NEW YORK TIMES and WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST'S 10 BEST BOOKS OF 2015 One of the world’s leading authorities on global security, Marc Goodman takes readers deep into the digital underground to expose the alarming ways criminals, corporations, and even countries are using new and emerging technologies against you—and how this makes everyone more vulnerable than ever imagined. Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flip side: our technology can be turned against us. Hackers can activate baby monitors to spy on families, thieves are analyzing social media posts to plot home invasions, and stalkers are exploiting the GPS on smart phones to track their victims’ every move. We all know today’s criminals can steal identities, drain online bank accounts, and wipe out computer servers, but that’s just the beginning. To date, no computer has been created that could not be hacked—a sobering fact given our radical dependence on these machines for everything from our nation’s power grid to air traffic control to financial services. Yet, as ubiquitous as technology seems today, just over the horizon is a tidal wave of scientific progress that will leave our heads spinning. If today’s Internet is the size of a golf ball, tomorrow’s will be the size of the sun. Welcome to the Internet of Things, a living, breathing, global information grid where every physical object will be online. But with greater connections come greater risks. Implantable medical devices such as pacemakers can be hacked to deliver a lethal jolt of electricity and a car’s brakes can be disabled at high speed from miles away. Meanwhile, 3-D printers can produce AK-47s, bioterrorists can download the recipe for Spanish flu, and cartels are using fleets of drones to ferry drugs across borders. With explosive insights based upon a career in law enforcement and counterterrorism, Marc Goodman takes readers on a vivid journey through the darkest recesses of the Internet. Reading like science fiction, but based in science fact, Future Crimes explores how bad actors are primed to hijack the technologies of tomorrow, including robotics, synthetic biology, nanotechnology, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence. These fields hold the power to create a world of unprecedented abundance and prosperity. But the technological bedrock upon which we are building our common future is deeply unstable and, like a house of cards, can come crashing down at any moment. Future Crimes provides a mind-blowing glimpse into the dark side of technological innovation and the unintended consequences of our connected world. Goodman offers a way out with clear steps we must take to survive the progress unfolding before us. Provocative, thrilling, and ultimately empowering, Future Crimes will serve as an urgent call to action that shows how we can take back control over our own devices and harness technology’s tremendous power for the betterment of humanity—before it’s too late.
