   Filterworld: How Algorithms Make Everything the Same by Kyle Chayka

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/674910 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/674910) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Filterworld: How Algorithms Make Everything the Same Author: Kyle Chayka Narrator: Kaleo Griffith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 56 minutes Release date: January 23, 2024 Genres: Business & Career Development Publisher's Summary: One of the BBC's most anticipated books for 2024 An i-D non-fiction book of 2024 A Stylist non-fiction book of 2024 'An essential book' i-D What happens when our cultural and artistic lives are dictated to us by an algorithm? What does it mean when shareability supersedes innovation? How can we make a choice when the options have been so carefully arranged for us? From coffee shops to city grids to TikTok feeds and Netflix homepages the world over, algorithmic recommendations prescribe our experiences. This network of mathematically determined choices - the 'Filterworld' - has taken over, almost unnoticed, as we've grown accustomed to an insipid new normal. But to have our tastes, behaviours, and emotions governed by computers calls the very notion of free will into question. Internationally recognized journalist and New Yorker staff writer Kyle Chayka journeys through this ever-tightening web woven by algorithms. He explores how online and offline spaces alike have been engineered for seamless consumption. How the lowest common denominator is promoted at the expense of the complex, diverse or challenging. How users of technology contend with data-driven equations that promise to anticipate their desires but often get them wrong. How the FIlterworld is determining the very shape of culture itself. Chayka skilfully and compellingly traces this creeping, machine-guided curation that influences not just what culture we consume, but what culture is produced. In doing so, he attempts to answer to the most urgent question currently facing us: is personal freedom ever again possible on the Internet? Filterworld is a fascinating history of the rise of the algorithm and an important investigation into where it could take us next - if we let it.

   Making It in America: The Almost Impossible Quest to Manufacture in the U.S.A. (And How It Got That Way) by Rachel Slade

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/666343 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/666343) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Making It in America: The Almost Impossible Quest to Manufacture in the U.S.A. (And How It Got That Way) Author: Rachel Slade Narrator: Natalie Duke Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 2 minutes Release date: January 9, 2024 Genres: Business & Career Development Publisher's Summary: A moving and eye-opening look at the story of manufacturing in America, whether it can ever successfully return to our shores, and why our nation depends on it, told through the experience of one young couple in Maine as they attempt to rebuild a lost industry, ethically. • From the best-selling author of Into the Raging Sea Ben Waxman spent a decade organizing workers in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Wisconsin, fighting for men and women at a time when national support for unions had sunk to an all-time low. Frustrated with the state of the world, he lands back in his hometown of Portland, Maine, to rethink his life. There, he meets Whitney Reynolds, a restless bartender eager for a challenge. In each other, they see a better future, a version of the American dream they can build together. Ben and Whitney set out to prove that union-made, all-American-sourced apparel manufacturing is possible in the twenty-first century. Their quest takes us across the nation and across time, from the cotton fields of Mississippi to the hollowed-out garment district in New York City to a family-owned zipper company in Los Angeles to the enormous knit-and-dye houses in North Carolina. While battling anti-immigrant hostility, trade wars, and a global pandemic, they grapple with the true meaning of made-in-USA in our globalized world. Making It in America offers a fascinating new take on free-trade economics and manufacturing history. Woven through the Waxmans’ journey is the essential story of textiles and their critical role in shaping capitalism. It was the demand for cheap cloth that sparked the industrial revolution. It was the brutal conditions in New England's textile mills that first drove workers to organize. Making It in America is a deeply personal account of how individual choices shape a nation. Each touchpoint casts a rare, compassionate look at what came before, where we are now, and where we’re going—through the people, places, and ecologies that produce the fabric of our lives.

   The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire by Tim Schwab

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676683 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/676683) to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Bill Gates Problem: Reckoning with the Myth of the Good Billionaire Author: Tim Schwab Narrator: Tim Schwab Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 15 hours 55 minutes Release date: November 16, 2023 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Business & Career Development Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. You know him as the founder of Microsoft; the philanthropic, kind-hearted billionaire who has donated endless funds to good causes around the world. But there's another side to Bill Gates. We might like to think of the Gates Foundation as an innocent charity giving away money, collaborating with stakeholders, and listening to the desires of the populations it hopes to help, but that's simply not how it works in practice. The charity internally sets a policy agenda for how to fix the world - based on one man's worldview - then imposes this vision onto the developing world by funding groups that align with it. Combining rich storytelling and ground-breaking reporting, The Good Billionaire offers readers a provocative and timely counter-narrative about one of the world's most widely recognized individuals - a true global celebrity with a truly global audience. But more than that, this book speaks to a vital political question around economic inequality and the erosion of democratic institutions - why should the super-rich be able to transform their wealth into political power, and just how far can they go? ©2023 Tim Schwab (P)2023 Penguin Audio
