![]() ![]() Reading like a sci-fi thriller, but based in startling fact, Goodman raises tough questions about the expanding role of technology in our lives. In Future Crimes, Marc Goodman rips open his database of hundreds of real cases to give us front-row access to these impending perils. This is just the beginning of the tsunami of technological threats coming our way. Meanwhile, 3D printers produce AK-47s, terrorists can download the recipe for the Ebola virus, and drug cartels are building drones. It's disturbingly easy to activate baby cam monitors to spy on families, pacemakers can be hacked to deliver a lethal jolt, and thieves are analyzing your social media in order to determine the best time for a home invasion. Today's criminals are stealing identities, draining online bank-accounts and wiping out computer servers. Criminals are often the earliest, and most innovative, adopters of technology and modern times have led to modern crimes. Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flipside. ![]() * Future-proof yourself and your business by reading this book * ![]()

However, their motives remain clear to us, and we write this letter to show that their exclusionary, discriminatory attitudes to trans people – in particular trans women – are not welcome here in Ireland. The organisers of ‘We Need to Talk’ are making a stop here in Ireland, under the guise of talking about abortion. This proposed legal reform is a necessary and urgent step toward undoing the stigma, discrimination and violence that trans people in the UK currently endure. The reformed act would allow people to self-declare their gender (currently in the UK people are forced to go through the indignity of medical diagnosis in order to have their gender recognised). The main purpose of the ‘We Need To Talk’ tour is to promote opposition to the proposed reform of the Gender Recognition Act in the UK. We write as cisgender feminists in Ireland to the organisers of the ‘We Need To Talk’ speaking tour who plan to hold an event in Ireland in February. ![]() ![]() ![]() Learn from your best employees-and your worst This insight is the heart of WORK RULES!, a compelling and surprisingly playful manifesto that offers lessons including: It’s not right that the experience of work should be so demotivating and dehumanizing.” So says Laszlo Bock, head of People Operations at the company that transformed how the world interacts with knowledge. ![]() “We spend more time working than doing anything else in life.
