Bücher: Acht Bücher, die die Tech-Revolution erklären

The landscape of a new era is marked by the evolution of books. Until three years ago, technology-related books primarily explained concepts such as how a language model functions, what a blockchain is, and how to disrupt an industry. The tone was curious, sometimes exhausted, but ultimately affirmative. Silicon Valley provided the vision of the future, while Europe offered interpretation.

In 2026, the narrative is different. The authors have shifted their focus from technology to power, ownership, and sovereignty. Nina Kolleck, a researcher and professor of educational and socialization theory at Potsdam University, published a book in mid-July on a French parliamentary decision to impose a social media ban on teenagers.

While Kolleck may have felt a mix of excitement and relief, readers of her book are unlikely to believe that a blanket ban on social media will solve all problems.
