Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:"The courageous and ingenious actions of these four NYU students and the Diaspora hackers who come in their wake will make you want to stand up and cheer. In an age of self-absorbed tweeting and friending, these young people are our Rocky Balboas and Martin Luther Kings. This book is proof that we are no longer customers of social networks, but rather the merchandise. The advertisers are the true customers, and our private thoughts, desires, and needs are exploited, sold, and bartered among them like trading cards--long after we've hit the delete button. The tragic death of the talented programmer Ilya Zhitomirskiy stands as testimony to our own inertia about the commercial forces that seek to control us. I'm glad I met this young man on these pages, and I'm glad that the deeply talented Jim Dwyer--who also wrote the best book on 9-11 you'll ever read--brought him and his friends to us with such stirring clarity. It's a superb work, and a great read."
--James McBride, author of The Good Lord Bird and The Color of Water, winner of the National Book Award
"[A] worthy endeavor...Dwyer has painted a detailed portrait of the enormous difficulties facing female programmers and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley."--New York Times Book Review
Praise for 102 MINUTES
"A masterpiece."--Kevin Baker, The New York Times

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The true story of four computer nerds who tried to build a revolutionary online network based on privacy & control; a David v Goliath startup effort that ended not in a billion dollar buy-out but in personal tragedy.Can Facebook be trusted with your data? Years ahead of their time, Diaspora tried to do better. This is their David-versus-Goliath effort to build a revolutionary social network that would give us back control of our privacy.In June of 2010, four nerdy NYU undergrads moved to Silicon Valley to save the world from Facebook. Their idea was simple-to build a social network that would allow users to control the information they shared about themselves instead of surrendering it to big business. Their project was called Diaspora, and just weeks after launching it on Kickstarter, the idealistic twenty-year-olds had raised $200,000 from donors around the world. Profiled in the New York Times, wooed by venture capitalists, and cheered on by the elite of the digital community, they were poised to revolutionize the Internet and remap the lines of power in our digital society-until things fell apart, with tragic results.The story of Diaspora reaches far beyond Silicon Valley to today's urgent debates over the future of the Internet. In this heartbreaking yet hopeful account, drawn from extensive interviews with the Diaspora Four and other key figures, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jim Dwyer tells a riveting tale of four ambitious and naive young men who dared to challenge the status quo.
