COMERCIANTES DE ATENCION: LA LUCHA EPICA POR ENTRAR EN NUESTRA CABEZA

Capitán Swing Libros 9788412064599

Nos enfrentamos constantemente a un aluvión de anuncios, redes sociales y otros esfuerzos para captar nuestra atención. Esto no es el subproducto de innovaciones tecnológicas recientes, sino el resultado de mas de un siglo de crecimiento y expansion en las industrias que se nutren de la atencion humana. El modelo de negocio no ha cambiado: desvio gratuito a cambio de un momento de su consideracion que se vende al anunciante con la oferta mas alta. Pese a las revueltas que se han levantado contra el implacable asedio de nuestra conciencia, los comerciantes de atencion siempre estan desarrollando nuevas ideas, incluso cuando sus medios para entrar en nuestras cabezas estan cambiando nuestra propia naturaleza (cognitiva, social, politica...) en formas inimaginables hace una generacion.

THE ATTENTION MERCHANTS (EBOOK)

Tim Wu

Atlantic Books 9781782394846

Attention merchant: an industrial-scale harvester of human attention. A firm whose business model is the mass capture of attention for resale to advertisers. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of advertising enticements, branding efforts, sponsored social media, commercials and other efforts to harvest our attention. Over the last century, few times or spaces have remained uncultivated by the attention merchants, contributing to the distracted, unfocused tenor of our times. Tim Wu argues that this is not simply the byproduct of recent inventions but the end result of more than a centurys growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. From the pre-Madison Avenue birth of advertising to TVs golden age to our present age of radically individualized choices, the business model of attention merchants has always been the same. He describes the revolts that have risen against these relentless attempts to influence our consumption, from the remote control to FDA regulations to Apples ad-blocking OS. But he makes clear that attention merchants grow ever-new heads, and their means of harvesting our attention have given rise to the defining industries of our time, changing our nature - cognitive, social, and otherwise - in ways unimaginable even a generation ago.

THE CURSE OF BIGNESS (EBOOK)

Tim Wu

Atlantic Books 9781838950835

Were three decades into a global experiment: what happens when the major nations of the world weaken their control on the size and power of corporate giants and allow unrestricted expansion?In The Curse of Bigness Tim Wu exposes the threats monopolies pose to economic stability and social freedom around the world. Aided by the globalization of commerce and finance, in recent years, we have seen takeovers galore that make a mockery of the ideals of competition and economic freedom. Such is the reality of the curse of bigness: stifled entrepreneurship, stalled productivity, dominant tech giants like Facebook and Google, and fewer choices for consumers.Urgent and persuasive, this bold manifesto argues that we need to rediscover the anti-monopoly traditions that brought great peace and prosperity in the past.

THE MASTER SWITCH

Tim Wu

ST. MARTIN'S GRIFFIN 9780307269935

After 41 years has a professor of the very subjects Tim Wu addresses and a director of current research in the same line of country, where I personally knew many of the key actors he vividly and fairly portrays, I am blown away by this textbook. It is a masterpiece of scholarship, wit, insight, synthesis, and bears the gift of expositing the complex in crystal-clear page-turning narrative. I am sure it will be required reading in law schools, business programs and all graduate programs on the crucial role of the communication and media industries in our political economy and mass culture. And the students will be grateful, a true contribution that moves us all forward. -- John M. Phelan, PhD, Professor Emeritus and Founding Director, McGannon Center for Research in Ethics and Communication, Fordham University.

THE MASTER SWITCH

Tim Wu

ATLANTIC BOOKS: GROVE ATLANTIC LTD 9781848879867

The Internet Age: on the face of it, an era of unprecedented freedom in both communication and culture. Yet in the past, each major new medium, from telephone to satellite television, has crested on a wave of similar idealistic optimism, before succumbing to the inevitable undertow of industrial consolidation. Every once free and open technology has, in time, become centralized and closed; as corporate power has taken control of the ''master switch.'' Today a similar struggle looms over the Internet, and as it increasingly supersedes all other media the stakes have never been higher. Part industrial expose, part examination of freedom of expression, The Master Switch reveals a crucial drama - full of indelible characters - as it has played out over decades in the shadows of global communication
