The end of ownership: personal property in the digital economy (The Information Society Series)

By Aaron Perzanowski, Jason Schultz. 2016

DAISY audio (CD), DAISY audio (Direct to player), DAISY audio (Zip)
Science and technology, Computers and internet

Explores how notions of ownership have shifted in the digital marketplace, and makes an argument for the benefits of personal… property. E-books, cloud storage, streaming, and other digital goods offer users convenience and flexibility. But consumers should be aware of the trade-offs involving user constraints, permanence, and privacy. The rights of private property are clear, but few people manage to read their end user agreements. The authors argue that introducing aspects of private property and ownership into the digital marketplace would offer both legal and economic benefits. But more importantly, it would affirm our sense of self-direction and autonomy. If we own our purchases, we are free to make whatever lawful use of them we please. Technology need not constrain our freedom; it can also empower us. 2016.

By Michael Harris. 2014

Braille (Contracted), Electronic braille (Contracted), DAISY audio (CD), DAISY audio (Direct to player), DAISY audio (Zip)
Award winning non-fiction, Canadian non-fiction, Canadian authors (Non-fiction), Science and technology, Computers and internet

Only one generation in history (ours) will experience life both with and without the internet. For everyone who follows us,… online life will simply be the air they breathe. Today, we revel in ubiquitous information and constant connection, rarely stopping to consider the implications for our logged-on lives. The author chronicles this massive shift, exploring what we've gained and lost in the bargain. He argues that our greatest loss has been that of absence itself -- of silence, wonder and solitude. Winner of the 2014 Governor General’s Award for Non-fiction. 2014.

The fabric of the cosmos: space, time, and the texture of reality

By B Greene. 2004

DAISY audio (CD), DAISY audio (Direct to player), DAISY audio (Zip)
Science and technology, Physics

String theory is a recent development in physics that, by positing that all which exists is composed of infinitesimally small… vibrating loops of energy, seeks to unify Einstein's theories and those of quantum mechanics into a so-called "theory of everything."

By Julian B Barbour. 1999

DAISY audio (CD), DAISY audio (Direct to player), DAISY audio (Zip)
Science and technology, Physics

The author contends that only the most radical of ideas can resolve the profound conflict between these two foundational pillars of modern physics, and in this book he proposes it: there is, quite literally, no time at all. 1999.

By Charles Darwin, Mark Ridley. 1987
