But behind the slick feed of the world’s most addictive app lies ruthless ambition and a global war for control.This is the dramatic, untold story of TikTok.Charting its rise from obscurity into the world’s most valuable startup, Emily Baker-White reveals how TikTok's visionary founder, ByteDance CEO Zhang Yiming, reshaped the global internet from a place where you searched for information to one where information comes to you. Billions of users were soon hooked by the most effective recommendation algorithm in the world.But there was a cost to such success. Soon, TikTok was embroiled in accusations of surveillance, censorship and user manipulation, attracting controversy from India and Europe to the US.

Szent Péter esernyője
Hogyan került Szent Péter neve és az esernyő egy mondatba? Hiszen, ha magunk elé képzeljük Szent Péter alakját, nem valószínű, hogy egy esernyőt is társítanánk a képhez - legalábbis, amíg el nem olvastuk Mikszáth Kálmán fordulatokban gazdag, ízes humorú regényét.
Mikszáth egy hétköznapi, ám mégis különleges holmi - egy esernyő - körül bonyolítja regényének néhol drámai, néhol elgondolkodtató, néhol mulattató cselekményét. Szereplői számára ez az esernyő különleges jelentőséggel bír: életeket mentő szent ereklye, családi örökség, közösségformáló és gyógyító erejű tárgy, csodatévő, gazdagságot, szerelmet, házasságot hozó eszköz. Hogy hogyan vált azzá? A regényből természetesen ez is kiderül, mint ahogyan az is, milyen hiedelem társítja Szent Péter alakjához.
És miközben egy izgalmas nyomozás révén feltárul előttünk ennek a különleges tárgynak az egész története, számtalan kalandban lesz részünk, és nem mellesleg a Felvidéken is teszünk egy kellemes, múltbéli kirándulást, méghozzá az egyik legközvetlenebb hangú írónk kedélyes társaságában.

The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby
A revelatory account of how the family behind Hobby Lobby rose to political prominence and used their influence-and fortune-to push a radical religious agenda
Hobby Lobby is a multibillion-dollar craft store chain with more than a thousand US locations, founded and owned by the Greens-an evangelical Christian family committed to establishing the Bible as the ultimate authority behind our laws and society.
In The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby, Michael Blanding reveals how the Greens have quietly yet effectively used their vast wealth to spread their beliefs throughout the US and beyond. They've run expensive, wide-reaching ad campaigns to inculcate biblical values and have propped up evangelical education through donations of money and land. They successfully fought a Supreme Court case to deny their employees insurance coverage for contraception and funneled millions of dollars to organizations working to overturn Roe v. Wade and to undermine LGBTQ rights. And, for their multimillion-dollar Museum of the Bible just blocks from the US Capitol building, they've acquired looted, stolen, and forged biblical antiquities from the Middle East. In a riveting exposé, Blanding traces the Greens' efforts to sell their evangelical mission.
Captivating and disturbing, The Gospel According to Hobby Lobby exposes the pivotal role the Green family has played in funding and empowering America's dangerous, ascendant Christian nationalist movement.
Jacaranda
A young man journeys from Paris to Rwanda to discover the truth about his mother's past and the country of her birth, from bestselling and prize-winning Rwandan-French novelist and hip-hop artist Gaël Faye
'A luminous poetic quality … unforgettable' Leila Slimani
'Utterly, captivatingly brilliant' Philippe Sands
Milan - the twelve-year-old son of a French father and a Rwandan mother - blames flunking his exams on the emotional trauma of the genocide in his mother's homeland. It's a convenient excuse: growing up outside Paris in the 1990s, the violence is an abstraction that only reaches him through distant television broadcasts.
That is, until Milan's mother introduces him to Claude, a young cousin with a bandaged head who has come to France seeking medical treatment. Thrilled to have a new playmate, Milan treats Claude as a brother until one day, he is sent back to Rwanda as quickly as he came.
Four years later, Milan travels for the first time to Rwanda, encountering a beguiling country and family members he never knew existed, and reuniting with Claude. But the trip raises more questions than it answers - about Milan's family history, the war and its aftershocks.
Over the course of many years, Milan returns to Rwanda again and again, compelled to confront the past and imagine a new kind of future. Jacaranda is a deeply felt portrait of a man seeking to understand his family and his nation.

All Bets Are Off
Three women. One bachelorette weekend. Zero chance of everything going to plan...
Adelaide Sinclair is weeks away from her dream wedding to the love of her life... or so everyone believes. Her bachelorette in Vegas is meant to be the ultimate send-off, until her fiancé crashes the party with his bachelor crew, including Connor, the first boy she ever loved... and the only one who knows the truth.
Hailey Clark would rather be anywhere else than a Las Vegas. When the email of a lifetime lands in her inbox - her shot at becoming a published author - she suddenly needs to balance her maid of honor duties with chasing her dreams. Easy enough... until she ends up handcuffed to the bride's charming younger brother, Theo, and her carefully laid plans go up in glittery smoke.
Evelyn Sinclair is finally twenty-one and ready to party, but she's also desperate for cash - and running out of time to get it. A little light theft seems like the perfect solution... until she tries to help herself to a Rolex from the wrist of a dangerously attractive stranger who insists on payback.
What happens in Vegas definitely won't stay there. By the end of the weekend, everything will change.
The Formula
ONE OF THE FINANCIAL TIMES' BEST BOOKS OF SUMMER 2024
'HANDS DOWN THE GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN ABOUT F1' -Sam Walker, author of The Captain Class
'MODERN F1 IS THE SPORTS STORY OF THIS ERA AND NO ONE COULD TELL IT BETTER' -Kevin Clark, ESPN
'THE FASTEST READ YOU WILL EVER PICK UP' -A.J. Baime, author of Go Like Hell
F1 is now the fastest-growing sports business in the world, and a multi-billion-dollar global media juggernaut. But how exactly did it get there?
Highly respected Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg uncover the full epic story of how F1 came to achieve total global fandom. Bringing unique insight and access to the sport's most storied teams and personalities - from Ferrari to Bernie Ecclestone to Christian Horner, Daniel Ricciardo, and Lewis Hamilton - they delve into the world of big money, beautiful people, intense feuds and audacious gambles, all set across a backdrop of the world's most glamorous locations.
The result is the first definitive account of the business of F1 - not just the cars and the races, but the drama, the deals, and the financial operation that underpins it all. It's the tale of a commercial empire: one built in the 20th century, rendered almost obsolete in the early 21st, and that has re-emerged world dominant today.
