Bücher: Acht Bücher, die die Tech-Revolution erklären

In the realm of technology, books have evolved to reflect the changing landscape. Just three years ago, technology-focused books were abundant, exploring topics like how language models functioned, the implications of blockchain technology, and the disruption of industries. The tone was inquisitive, sometimes weary, but ultimately optimistic.

Silicon Valley presented the future, while Europe provided the interpretation. The year 2026 reads differently. The authors gathered in this collection no longer write about technology; they write about power, ownership, and sovereignty.

Nina Kolleck, a researcher and political scientist turned Professor of Educational and Socialization Theory in Potsdam, since 2023, pens a book titled "Der Kampf in den Köpfen" (The Battle in the Minds). Kolleck expresses uncertainty about what she thought when the French Parliament decided to ban social media platforms for teenagers in mid-July.

However, there is a strong suspicion that she felt a mix of relief and satisfaction. As one reads her book, they do not get the impression that a blanket ban would solve all problems.
