7. HarperCollins Shapiro:Von Hackern lernen. Die Fundame

You may not be interested in hacking, but hacking is interested in you. Exciting as a thriller: stories from the beginnings and depths of the internet. Hackers are seen as brilliant nerds who stir up the next cyber war from their basements. But what about Robert Morris, who programmed the first computer worm in 1988, not out of malicious intent but out of pure curiosity, bringing the internet to a standstill? Or "Dark Avenger," whose virus shook the still-young antivirus industry - and was really just a quirky love letter to a female computer scientist? Harvard philosopher Scott J. Shapiro dispels the myths of demonic hackers and opaque codes. Vividly and humorously, he gives us insights into the systems and lives of the five greatest hackers in history. Shapiro brilliantly explains the technology and philosophy behind the codes, data, and operating systems, providing answers to questions that will continue to concern us in the future: What types of cyberattacks should we expect? What are the human vulnerabilities without which no hack would ever succeed? And most importantly: How do we keep a cool head? An eye-opening read for all of us who constantly sit in front of computers. A fascinating history of cybercrime, from teenage hacker pioneers to international bot armies. Shapiro is witty, and his fascination for his subject knows no bounds. With his technical explanations, he can even captivate laypeople by drawing connections between programming languages and, say, the paradox of Achilles and the tortoise.

9. HarperCollins Der Welt nicht mehr verbunden

Since childhood, Johann Hari has suffered from anxiety, feelings of sadness, and an endless emptiness. At eighteen, he receives the diagnosis: depression. This is followed by years of treatment with antidepressants. However, despite adjustments to the dosage and phases of improvement, Hari feels that depression has a hold on him. He begins to question the medical strategy: Are depressions necessarily due to a biochemical imbalance in the brain? Can medications be a long-term solution? And what role does the pharmaceutical industry play in this?

What he discovers radically overturns his perspective. For our interpretation of depression, there is no evidence whatsoever. On the contrary. After numerous conversations with medical professionals, psychologists, social scientists, and individuals affected around the world, he knows: the true causes of depression lie elsewhere - and we can do something about it. A personal account and a keen social analysis at the same time, Hari's book strikes a chord with our times.
