What information about you is out there? Who might have access to it? What can you do about it? In this rapidly changing electronic world, your personal information is no longer your own.

'Disappearing' gives you the freedom to escape this intrusion. When you disappear, you create your own world and dictate its borders. It might be as simple as removing your details from the public record, or as complex as moving overseas – without a trace. Here, you'll discover the tools you need to help you disappear, both online and in the flesh, and how to make sure you stay invisible.

Against the Machine: Being Human in the Era of the Electronic Mob

NZ$ 33.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Lee Siegel

Against the Machine
is a fascinating look at how the Internet is reshaping the way we think about ourselves and the world. Siegel explores how the internet affects culture and social life, particularly the psychological, emotional and social cost of high-tech solitude. Arguing that the internet's widespread anonymity eliminates boundaries and encourages otherwise polite people to be downright abusive, Siegel discusses the half-fantasy, half-realism of online personae. By experiencing virtual selves rather than other individuals, we run the risk of being reduced to avatars that other internet users manipulate for their own ends. Insightful and written with convincing evidence to support the author's polemic, this book is a welcome addition to the debate on the personal ramifications of living in a wired world.

Judith Lenart

Judith Lenart always knew her stepfather had lived an exciting life - as a journalist from the end of WWII to the end of the Cold War, he met, investigated and exposed some of the greatest artists and con men international politics has ever known. Yet it wasn't until after his death in 1992 that she began to discover just how exciting his life really was. As Lenart begins the process of sorting through his personal effects, she stumbles upon a bundle of documents she never expected to find: letters, telegrams and instructions from Ian Fleming, editor and coordinator of his own elite selection of journalist spies, and a direct link between the media and MI6. Here Lenart brings together some of Antony Terry's finest investigative works, as well as never before seen excerpts from his notebooks and transcriptions. Interspersed with Lenart's own insights, this remarkable collection offers a rare opportunity to get to the heart of a man ...

Chris Anderson

What happens when advances in technology allow many things to be produced for more or less nothing? And what happens when those things are then made available to the consumer for free? In his groundbreaking new book, "The Long Tail" author Chris Anderson considers a brave new world where the old economic certainties are being undermined by a growing flood of free goods - newspapers, DVDs, T shirts, phones, even holiday flights. He explains why this has become possible - why new technologies, particularly the Internet, have caused production and distribution costs in many sectors to plummet to an extent unthinkable even a decade ago. He shows how the flexibility provided by the online world allows producers to trade ever more creatively, offering items for free to make real or perceived gains elsewhere. He pinpoints the winners and the losers in the Free universe. And he demonstrates the ways in which, as an increasing number of things ...

Ground-breaking and provocative, this book sets out a new way of thinking. It argues that our vision of the world is outdated and that, if we are to overcome the challenges we face today, we need a new mindset. Gerzon shows how we need to sharpen four essential skills - witnessing, learning, connecting and partnering - so we can become 'advocates for the whole' and start to take effective action. This unique, highly readable book will change the way you see yourself and the world. It dares you to become an engaged, committed global citizen.

Noam Chomsky

In this urgent new book, Noam Chomsky surveys the threats and prospects of our early twenty-first century. Exploring challenges such as the growing gap between North and South, American exceptionalism (even under Obama), the fiascos of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Israeli assalt on Gaza and the recent financial bailouts, he also sees hope for the future and a way to move forward - in the so-called democratic wave in Latin America and in the global solidarity movements which suggest 'real progress towards freedom and justice'.
Hopes and Prospects
is essential reading for anyone who is concerned about the primary challenges still facing the human race and is wondering where to find a ray of hope.

Khomeini's Ghost : Iran Since 1979

Paperback

Con Coughlin

On 1 February 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini returned to Iran to a tumultuous welcome and the Iranian revolution that that he masterminded has become one of the defining moments of the modern age. Today the challenge of radical Islam represents the greatest threat to world peace seen since the darkest days of the Cold War, and the legacy of Khomeini's Islamic Revolution lies at the heart of many of the world's most intractable conflicts. "Khomeini's Ghost" is the definitive biographical account of how an impoverished young student from a remote area of southern Iran came to be the political and the spiritual leader of his country. Drawing on a wide variety of Iranian sources, including religious figures who knew and worked with Khomeini both in exile and in power, Con Coughlin examines in detail the principles of Khomeini's Islamic Revolution and the impact of his legacy today, whether it is in Iran's support for radical Islamic groups or ...

Meltdown Iceland : How the global financial meltdown bankrupted an entire country

Roger Boyes

This is the inside story of the bankrupting of Iceland. It is a truism that when America sneezes, Europe catches a cold. The sub-prime mortgage crisis, which began in America in 2007, unleashed a veritable epidemic of financial ill health all over the world. All European countries were affected, and the developing world also felt a chill. However it was Iceland, a tiny volcanic outcrop in the North Atlantic whose population of 300,000 had the highest per capita GDP and counted itself the happiest in the world, which caught the worst cold. It has nearly killed them. Written with panache and colour, and drawing on interviews with everyone from the prime minister, Sir Phillip Green, the governor of the central bank, Bjork and the local fisherman, "Meltdown Iceland" is an authoritative account of the financial destruction of this tiny, icy but vibrant country.

More than fifteen years after the fall of the Soviet Union, China is engaged in the largest experiment in authoritarianism in the world. By launching market reforms while continuing to restrict political freedom, the Chinese Communist Party has challenged the Western assumption that economic growth must lead to political liberalization - an assumption at the core of UK and American foreign policy. At the same time, the struggle for democratic change is reaching a crescendo, marking a moment in the history of modern China as uncertain and consequential as the rise of Mao's cult of personality, or the run-up to the Tiananmen Square massacre. From the booming cities of Beijing and Shanghai to the rural communities of the vast countryside, this ground-breaking book introduces us to some of the courageous people who are dedicated to building a more democratic China despite the dangers they face in doing so.This is a book of individual ...
