Bücher: Acht Bücher, die die Tech-Revolution erklären

In the changing landscape of a new era, books are evolving to reflect the shifting dynamics of our time. Just three years ago, technology-focused books predominated, explaining concepts like language models, blockchain technology, and industry disruption. The tone was inquisitive, sometimes weary, but ultimately affirmative, with Silicon Valley providing the future and Europe offering interpretation.

However, the year 2026 has ushered in a different perspective. The authors gathered in this volume no longer write about technology; instead, they focus on power structures, ownership, and sovereignty.

Nina Kolleck, a researcher and professor in Potsdam, offers her perspective on the recent French legislation banning social media for teenagers. While her exact thoughts remain unknown, it is likely that she was simultaneously relieved and concerned by the decision. As a scholar of education and socialization theory, Kolleck views major social media platforms as a real threat to the well-being of children and adolescents. However, readers of her book do not get the impression that a blanket ban would solve all problems.
