Revenge of the tipping point : overstories, superspreaders, and the rise of social engineering / by Gladwell, Malcolm,1963-author(CARDINAL)300419;

The L.A. survivors' club ; Doing time on Maple Drive -- Part four: conclusion. Overstories, superspreaders, and group proportions."Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brand-new volume that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light. Why is Miami...Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell returns for the first time in twenty-five years to the subject of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena. Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of Los Angeles to meet the world's most successful bank robbers, rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis. Revenge of the Tipping Point is Gladwell's most personal book yet. With his characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a guide to making sense of the contagions of the modern world. It's time we took tipping points seriously."--

Trampled by unicorns : big tech's empathy problem, and how to fix it / by Gavet, Maelle,1978-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Making the world a better place -- Culture bubble -- Emerald cities --The new feudalism -- Anti-social networks -- Venture capital and the holy grail of scale -- 'Psychos of the Valley' -- Between Scylla & Charybdis : what happens if we do nothing? -- We should all be chief empathy officer -- A multiplayer game : corporate governance in tech -- Breaking up big tech? -- Tax, privacy, and other running sores -- Big tech broke the news media : what's next? -- People power."Written by a tech insider who has held leadership positions in high-growth tech companies in Europe, Russia, and the United States--and one of the few women to rise to the very top of the industry--Trampled by Unicorns lifts the lid on how many of the industry's household name companies lost track of their original ideals to build products that pay little or no attention to their effect on users, and still less to their wider social impact. Clearly, in the headlong rush to innovation and market domination, mistakes will be made. Yet all too frequently these companies, have demonstrated breathtaking naivete, concealed their errors, and even when caught red-handed, shrugged off responsibility. In tracing the origins of Big Tech's empathy deficit, Gavet argues that they originate from three main sources: the Valley's cultural insularity, the hyper-growth business model, and the sector's stunning lack of diversity. Trampled by Unicorns is an inside account of how an industry came off the rails--and a passionate call to action about how to put it right"--
