Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 819min

Here is the ultimate book on the worldwide movement of hackers, pranksters, and activists that operates under the non-name Anonymous, by the writer the Huffington Post says "knows all of [Anonymous's] deepest, darkest secrets." Half a dozen years ago, anthropologist Gabriella Coleman set out to study the rise of this global phenomenon just as some of its members were turning to political protest and dangerous disruption. She ended up becoming so closely connected to Anonymous that the tricky story of her inside-outside status as Anon confidante, interpreter, and erstwhile mouthpiece forms one of the themes of this witty and entirely engrossing book. The narrative brims with details unearthed from within a notoriously mysterious subculture, whose semi-legendary tricksters - such as Topiary, tflow, Anachaos, and Sabu - emerge as complex, diverse, politically and culturally sophisticated people. Propelled by years of chats and encounters with a multitude of hackers, Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower, Spy is filled with insights into the meaning of digital activism and little-understood facets of culture in the Internet age. ungekürzt.

Weird Television: A Collection of Interrupted Broadcasts, Paranormal Apparitions, and Other Mysteries on TV , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 76min

For more than two generations, television has been a part of most people’s lives, and few could remember a time when it wasn’t there as a familiar, reliable source of information and entertainment. Today, viewers are accustomed to broadcasts running seamlessly with commercials following programming before more programs come on. The occasional glitch might happen here or there, including temporary blackouts due to storms, but for the most part, television runs incredibly smoothly.Of course, that wasn’t all the case. At times, pranksters or political activists hacked into satellite feeds, protestors took over studios while live and on air, and intriguing paranormal events with few good explanations have been seen. In fact, the TV has always been a place of mystery, a battleground for competing ideologies, and a source of anonymous voices. Television broadcasts have been used to support war efforts, topple governments, communicate secretly, and even attempt to communicate with the dead.Weird Television: A Collection of Interrupted Broadcasts, Paranormal Apparitions, and Other Mysteries on TV includes strange stories that will make this familiar medium seem a bit less familiar and far more interesting. You will learn about some of the world’s strangest TV stories like never before. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim D Johnston.

Einer flog über das Kuckucksnest, Hörbuch, Digital, 656min

Es gibt Romane, die vor allem über ihre Verfilmungen bekannt wurden, und bei manchen davon ist das ein bisschen schade. EINER FLOG ÜBERS KUCKUCKSNEST von Ken Kesey ist so ein Roman, bei dem man, kennt man nur den natürlich großartigen Film mit Jack Nicholson in der Hauptrolle, immer noch eine Menge verpasst hat, vor allem das Innenleben der Hauptfigur, denn die ist im Roman eben nicht der quirlige, starke, redselige, von Jack Nicholson gespielte McMurphy, sondern der große, schweigende Indianer "Häuptling" Bromden, der sich im Laufe des Romans durch einen dichten, psychotischen Nebel in die Freiheit kämpft.Denn das ist das Thema des Romans: Wie die Insassen einer psychiatrischen Anstalt unter dem Einfluss eines Berufsrebellen und Kleinganoven lernen, sich gegen die Bevormundung durch die Große Schwester und ihrer Handlanger zu wehren und die Macht der Gesellschaft über ihr Leben zu hinterfragen und zu bekämpfen.EINER FLOG ÜBERS KUCKUCKSNEST ist einer der großen Romane des 20. Jahrhunderts und, wenn man so will, die Mutter aller Popliteratur, geschrieben von Ken Kesey, einer Schlüsselfigur der psychedelischen Bewegung der 60er Jahre, Häuptling der Merry Pranksters und selber Hauptfigur in Tom Wolfes dokumentarischem Roman "The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test". THEES UHLMANN, Interpret dieses Hörbuchs, ist ein deutscher Rockstar und erfolgreicher Schriftsteller ("Sophia, der Tod und ich"). deutsch.
