Wasting Time on the Internet
Using clear, readable prose, conceptual artist and poet Kenneth Goldsmith's manifesto shows how our time on the internet is not really wasted but is quite productive and creative as he puts the experience in its proper theoretical and philosophical context. Kenneth Goldsmith wants you to rethink the internet. Many people feel guilty after spending hours watching cat videos or clicking link after link after link.
But Goldsmith sees that "wasted" time differently. Unlike old media, the internet demands active engagement-and it's actually making us more social, more creative, even more productive. When Goldsmith, a renowned conceptual artist and poet, introduced a class at the University of Pennsylvania called "Wasting Time on the Internet", he nearly broke the internet.
The New Yorker, the Atlantic, the Washington Post, Slate, Vice, Time, CNN, the Telegraph, and many more, ran articles expressing their shock, dismay, and, ultimately, their curiosity. Goldsmith's ideas struck a nerve, because they are brilliantly subversive-and endlessly shareable. In Wasting Time on the Internet, Goldsmith expands upon his provocative insights, contending that our digital lives are remaking human experience.
When we're "wasting time," we're actually creating a culture of collaboration. We're reading and writing more-and quite differently. And we're turning concepts of authority and authenticity upside-down.
The internet puts us in a state between deep focus and subconscious flow, a state that Goldsmith argues is ideal for creativity. Where that creativity takes us will be one of the stories of the twenty-first century. Wide-ranging, counterintuitive, engrossing, unpredictable-like the internet itself-Wasting Time on the Internet is the manifesto you didn't know you needed.

Because our perception of leadership must and will change significantly in the coming years: The hierarchical top-down model still dominates our thinking and acting too much. But what was highly efficient yesterday is not effective in the complex, dynamic VUCA world of tomorrow, because bosses as individual decision-makers no longer have the knowledge to make the right decisions. In the future, successful companies will have to be flexible, agile and networked - keyword holocratic leadership. Only then will they be able to master the challenges of digitization and efficiently analyze and process the immense data streams. The leadership competence in tomorrow's companies will therefore be more likely to lie in networked teams than in individuals and will be subject to constant change.

A háló mögött - Behinde the Net
Ő a szexi, barátságtalan kapus, akibe bele voltam zúgva a középiskolában, és most én lettem a bennlakó asszisztense.
Miután az exem a zeneiparban sárba tiporta az álmaimat, betelt a pohár és elegem lett abból, hogy összetörjék a szívemet. Egy NHL játékos titkárnőjének lenni könnyű feladatnak tűnt, de Jamie Streicher körül semmi sem egyszerű. Ijesztően szexi, mogorva seggfej, aki ki nem állhat engem. És hatalmas az egója. Gondot jelent majd, hogy megőrizzük a hivatalos hangnemet, különösen akkor, amikor azt követeli, hogy költözzek hozzá.
De a barátságtalan felszín alatt meglepően édes és védelmező.
Amikor Jamie megtudja, milyen pocsék volt az exem az ágyban, a versengés szelleme feltámad, és Jamie bátorít mindenre, és elkényeztet minden lehetséges módon. A dalírásban jelentkező alkotói szikra? Visszanyertem megint, és ismét dalokat írok. A meccseken a trikóját hordom, lármás bulikra járok a csapattal és ismét bátor vagyok a színpadon - de közben beleszeretek Jamie-be.
Megeshet, hogy összetöri a szívemet, de talán akkor is megéri.

After the Fire - A tűz után
A dolgok, amiket láttam, belém égtek, akár a sebhelyek,
amik nem akarnak halványulni.
Korábban egy kerítésen belül élt a családjával.
Most csapdába esett egy szövetségi intézményben.
Korábban nem hagyhatta el a birtokot, nem beszélhetett a Kívülállókkal.
Most túl sok ember tesz fel neki kérdéseket arról, mi történt vele,
és próbálja kitalálni, ki is ő valójában. Korábban úgy hitte, óvják valamitől.
Most az emberek azt mondják neki, végre biztonságban van.
Nem tudja, melyik volt jobb: korábban vagy most. Csak annyit tud, hogy
vannak kérdések, amiket nem válaszolhat meg. És ha minden, amit eddig
mondtak neki, hazugság, honnan tudhatná, hogy most ki mond igazat?
Izgalmas és megindító,
A tűz után tökéletes olvasmány mindenkinek, aki szereti...
...a kultusztémákat,
...a letehetetlen kamaszthrillereket,
...a címlapra kívánkozó csavarokat,
...az olvasmányos történeteket, amik egyszerűen beszippantanak.

The Necessity of Atheism
"The Necessity of Atheism" is a treatise on atheism by the English poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, printed in 1811 by C. and W. Phillips in Worthing while Shelley was a student at University College, Oxford. A copy of the first version was sent as a short tract signed enigmatically to all heads of Oxford colleges at the University. At that time the content was so shocking to the authorities that he was "rusticated" (expelled from the University) for refusing to deny authorship, together with his friend and fellow student, Thomas Jefferson Hogg. A revised and expanded version was printed in 1813.Shelley's early profession of atheism in this tract not only led to his expulsion from Oxford but also branded him as a radical agitator and thinker, setting an early pattern of marginalisation and ostracism from the intellectual and political circles of his time. Though Shelley's poetry and prose output remained steady throughout his life, most publishers and journals declined to publish his work for fear of being arrested themselves for blasphemy or sedition. Shelley did not live to see success and influence in his time, although these reach down to the present day not only in literature, but in major movements in social and political thought.(Reference: Wikipedia.)
