Kill Reply All
By Turk, Victoria
Want to Marie Kondo your digital life and develop a more tactful approach to technology? By a leading tech and digital culture journalist, Kill Reply All is a guide to tidying it all up. How do you reply to your colleague's weird email? What would Emily Post say about your Tinder profi le? And just how do you know if you're mansplaining? In this irreverent journey through the murky world of digital etiquette, Wired's Victoria Turk provides an indispensable guide to minding our manners in a brave new online world, and making peace with the platforms, apps, and devices we love to hate. The digital revolution has put us all within a few clicks, taps, and swipes of one another. But familiarity can breed contempt, and while we're more likely than ever to fall in love online, we're also more likely to fall headfirst into a raging fight with a stranger or into an unhealthy obsession with the phones in our pockets. If you've ever encountered the surreal, aggravating battlefields of digital life and wondered why we all don't go analog, this is the book for you.

In Who's Afraid of AI?, a guide to the most awe-inspiring AI achievements - as well as the most frightening - award-winning author Thomas Ramge expertly explains how machines are learning to learn.

Cybercrime & the Dark Net
By Senker, Cath
With the growth of the internet came a new type of crime. Using the un-indexed corners of the internet that make up what is known as the "dark net" criminals carry on their business online as fluently as in the real world. Identity theft and fraud have become both simpler and more profitable for enterprising criminals. New black markets like the "silk road" have sprung up that allow customers to buy anything they desire-from drugs to guns to child pornography. Meanwhile authorities struggle to regulate these new arenas. The internet has also created new threats to international security through cyber attacks like the "stuxnet" virus. Not all hacking is so bad --some hackers try to use their skills for humane and political purposes.
