Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-285) and index.Prologue: My nightmare -- Part I: Four futures. Terminal world : the domination of glass slabs ; Prosthetics : the new bionic you ; Animism : living with social robots ; Enchanting everyday objects -- Part II: Six human drives. The dialectic interplay: fiction and invention ; Drive #1: Omniscience: to know all ; Drive #2: Telepathy: human-to-human connections ; Drive #3: Safekeeping: protection from all harm ; Drive #4: Immortality: a long and quantified life ; Drive #5: Teleportation: friction-free travel ; Drive #6: Expression: the desire to create -- Part III: The design of enchantment.

Glanceability ; Gestureability ; Affordability ; Wearability ; Indestructibility ; Usability ; Loveability ; Five steps on the ladder of enchantment -- Part IV : Enchanted systems. Transformer homes ; Collaborative workplaces ; Human-centered cities ; Six future fantasies ; A metaphor and a macro trend.We are now standing at the precipice of the next transformative development: the Internet of Things. Soon, connected technology will be embedded in hundreds of everyday objects we already use: our cars, wallets, watches, umbrellas, even our trash cans. These objects will respond to our needs, come to know us, and learn to think on our behalf. David Rose calls these devices--which are just beginning to creep into the marketplace--Enchanted Objects. Some believe the future will look like more of the same--more smartphones, tablets, screens embedded in every conceivable surface. Rose has a different vision: technology that atomizes, combining itself with the objects that make up the very fabric of daily living. Such technology will be woven into the background of our environment, enhancing human relationships and channeling desires for omniscience, long life, and creative expression. The enchanted objects of fairy tales and science fiction will enter real life. Groundbreaking, timely, and provocative, Enchanted Objects is a blueprint for a better future, where efficient solutions come hand in hand with technology that delights our senses.

Means of control : how the hidden alliance of tech and government is creating a new American surveillance state / by Tau, Byron,author.(CARDINAL)888831;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-349) and index."A sweeping exposé of the U.S. government's alliance with data brokers, tech companies, and advertisers, and how their efforts are reshaping surveillance and privacy as we know it. Our modern world is awash in surveillance. Most of us are dimly aware of this-ever get the sense that an ad is "following" you around the internet?-but we don't understand the extent to which the technology embedded in our phones, computers, cars, and homes is part of a vast ecosystem of data collection. Our public spaces are blanketed by cameras put up in the name of security. And pretty much everything that emits a wireless signal of any kind-routers, televisions, Bluetooth devices, chip-enabled credit cards, even the tires of every car manufactured since the mid-2000s-can be and often is covertly monitored. All of this surveillance has produced an extraordinary amount of data about every citizen-and the biggest customer is the U.S. government. Reporter Byron Tau has been digging deep inside the growing alliance between business, tech, and government for years, piecing together a secret story: how the whole of the internet and every digital device in the world have become a mechanism of intelligence, surveillance, and monitoring. Tau traces the unlikely tale of how the government came to view commercial data as a principal asset of national security in the years after 9/11, working with scores of anonymous companies, many scattered across bland Northern Virginia suburbs, to build a foreign and domestic surveillance capacity of such breathtaking scope that it could peer into the lives of nearly everyone on the planet. The result is a cottage industry of data brokers and government bureaucrats with one directive-"get everything you can"-and, as Tau observes, a darkly humorous world in which defense contractors have marketing subsidiaries, and marketing companies have defense contractor subsidiaries. Sobering and revelatory, Means of Control is our era's defining story of the dangerous grand bargain we've made: ubiquitous, often cheap technology, but at what price to our privacy?"--
