Bücher: Acht Bücher, die die Tech-Revolution erklären

Reading the trajectory of an era can be discerned by observing how books evolve. Prior to three years ago, publications centered on technology predominantly offered explanatory accounts—how language models function, the role of blockchain in disrupting industries, and the disruptive impact on existing sectors. The tone was inquisitive, occasionally dispassionate, yet ultimately affirmative.

Silicon Valley heralded the future, while Europe provided the interpretation. The class of 2026 reads differently. The authors gathered in this compilation no longer discuss technology; they delve into power, ownership, and sovereignty. Nina Kolleck posits that the decision by the French parliament to impose a social media ban on minors in mid-July brought her mixed emotions.

While she was relieved, she also perceived the book as a nuanced exploration rather than a blanket prohibition.
