Cory Doctorow: "The Coming Civil War over General-purpose Computing", Talks at Google
Who governs digital trust? Doctorow framed the question this way: "Computers are everywhere. They are now something we put our whole bodies into---airplanes, cars---and something we put into our bodies---pacemakers, cochlear implants. They HAVE to be trustworthy." Sometimes humans are not so trustworthy, and programs may override you: "I can't let you do that, Dave." (Reference to the self-protective insane computer Hal in Kubrick's film "2001." That time the human was more trustworthy than the computer.) Who decides who can override whom? The core issues for Doctorow come down to Human Rights versus Property Rights, Lockdown versus Certainty, and Owners versus mere Users.

Authors at Google: Rob Reid, "Year Zero: A Novel"
An alien advance party was suddenly nosing around my planet. Worse, they were lawyering up. . . . In the hilarious tradition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Rob Reid takes you on a headlong journey through the outer reaches of the universe%mdashand the inner workings of our absurdly dysfunctional music industry. Low-level entertainment lawyer Nick Carter thinks it's a prank, not an alien encounter, when a redheaded mullah and a curvaceous nun show up at his office. But Frampton and Carly are highly advanced (if bumbling) extraterrestrials. And boy, do they have news. The entire cosmos, they tell him, has been hopelessly hooked on humanity's music ever since "Year Zero" (1977 to us), when American pop songs first reached alien ears. This addiction has driven a vast intergalactic society to commit the biggest copyright violation since the Big Bang. The resulting fines and penalties have bankrupted the whole universe. We humans suddenly own everything%mdashand the aliens are not amused. Nick Carter has just been tapped to clean up this mess before things get ugly, and he's an unlikely galaxy-hopping hero: He's scared of heights. He's also about to be fired. And he happens to have the same name as a Backstreet Boy. But he does know a thing or two about copyright law. And he's packing a couple of other pencil-pushing superpowers that could come in handy. Soon he's on the run from a sinister parrot and a highly combustible vacuum cleaner. With Carly and Frampton as his guides ...

Authors at Google: Kevin Bleyer, "ME THE PEOPLE: One Man's Quest to Rewrite the Constitution..."
We think of our Constitution as the painstakingly designed blueprint drawn up by, in Thomas Jefferson's words, an "assembly of demigods" who laid the foundation for the sturdiest republic ever created. The truth is, it was no blueprint at all but an Etch A Sketch, a haphazard series of blunders, shaken clean and redrawn countless times during a summer of petty debates, drunken ramblings, and desperate compromise%mdashas much the product of an "assembly of demigods" as a confederacy of dunces.

Matt Werner spoke at Google in Mountain View on August 6, 2012 about his book Oakland in Popular Memory: Interviews with 12 cutting-edge musicians from Oakland and beyond. He is introduced by Brit Bjurstrom. ABOUT THE BOOK: The image of Oakland, California has been tainted in the mainstream media with salacious news reports focusing on street violence, shootings, gangs, and riots. These reports%mdashalong with assumptions and stereotypes%mdashfeed the fabricated image that outsiders have of the city. In Oakland in Popular Memory: Interviews with 12 cutting-edge musicians from Oakland and beyond (Thought Publishing / May 2012 / $15.00), Oakland native and former host of the award-winning radio show on Fresh Air: The Alternative, Matt Werner introduces a different narrative by presenting a collection of his best interviews with leading artists from Oakland and artists who've influenced musicians from Oakland. In the spirit of Studs Terkel, Werner conducted long-form interviews from 2008-2012, which cover the 2008 election of President Obama, the shooting of Oscar Grant, and the Occupy Oakland protests. Werner spoke with artists at length, discussing topics like race relations in Oakland in the post-Oscar Grant era, postmodern literary theory, and the changing landscape of the music industry during the digital revolution. Through interviews with artists like, Chinaka Hodge, Dahlak Brathwaite, Dave Smallen, George Watsky, Ise Lyfe, K.Flay, Kid Beyond, MC Lars, Rafael Casal, Saul ...

Jonathan Haidt, Authors at Google
In his new book, "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion", Jonathan Haidt explores the origins of morality and its basis in politics and religion. In this talk, given during his visit to the Google headquarters in Mountain View, CA, Jonathan provides an introduction to the core themes of the book, particularly as they apply to the "hive-like" mode of operation of Google, Zappos, and many other successful organizations. He investigates the question of why some successful organizations operate like wolf packs, others like beehives. And he links several theories from the natural sciences, religion, and philosophy to try to explain how and why humans can be far more "groupish" than "selfish". Jonathan Haidt is a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia and a visiting professor of business ethics at New York University's Stern School of Business. He is the author of "The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom. From: AtGoogleTalks Views: 1976 41 ratings Time: 53:51 More in Science & Technology
