Smile (While You Stick the Knife In) , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 186min

A brief synopsis on the convergence of new age theories, technological advancement, and political entanglement yields a case for informational transparency as the foundation of government reformation and social evolution. Smile (While You Stick the Knife In) was originally published in 2011; however the topics discussed are more prevalent in today's socio-political climate than in the time it was written. M. Doucet takes us on the journey of an average thinking man through the maze of Google searches and thought traps. Honest. Witty. Forward thinking and insightful, with an over arching hint of good humored asshole, Smile (While You Stick the Knife In) may lead you to the answers for the questions you've been asking yourself, it may lead you to ask questions you never thought to ask, and for some it may lead you nowhere at all. Either way, there is plenty here to think about, and plenty here to make the conscious choice of what not to think about.

America the Vulnerable: Inside the New Threat Matrix of Digital Espionage, Crime, and Warfare , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 595min

A former top-level National Security Agency insider goes behind the headlines to explore America's next great battleground: digital security. An urgent wake-up call that identifies our foes; unveils their methods; and charts the dire consequences for government, business, and individuals. Shortly after 9/11, Joel Brenner entered the inner sanctum of American espionage, first as the inspector general of the National Security Agency, then as the head of counterintelligence for the director of national intelligence. He saw at close range the battleground on which our adversaries are now attacking us-cyberspace. We are at the mercy of a new generation of spies who operate remotely from China, the Middle East, Russia, even France, among many other places. These operatives have already shown their ability to penetrate our power plants, steal our latest submarine technology, rob our banks, and invade the Pentagon's secret communications systems. Incidents like the WikiLeaks posting of secret U.S. State Department cables hint at the urgency of this problem, but they hardly reveal its extent or its danger. Our government and corporations are a "glass house," all but transparent to our adversaries. Counterfeit computer chips have found their way into our fighter aircraft; the Chinese stole a new radar system that the navy spent billions to develop; our own soldiers used intentionally corrupted thumb drives to download classified intel from laptops in Iraq. And much more. Dispatches from the corporate world are just as dire. In 2008, hackers lifted customer files from the Royal Bank of Scotland and used them to withdraw $9 million in half an hour from ATMs in the United States, Britain, and Canada. If that was a traditional heist, it would be counted as one of the largest in history. Worldwide, corporations lose on average $5 million worth of intellectual property apiece annually, and big companies lose many times that. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lloyd James.

To the Best of Our Knowledge: Living Democracy, Hörbuch, Digital, 52min

In this hour, Salman Ahmad grew up in both Pakistan and the United States. Trained as an M.D., Ahmad has traded in his stethoscope for a guitar and performs with his group, Junoon. They’ve sold 25 million albums and are wildly popular in Asia. Ahmad is a devout Muslim and tells Anne Strainchamps that he sees nothing in his religion that forbids music, and explains why he thinks some clerics are so strict. And we hear some of his music. Then, before there was Wikileaks, before there was Wikipedia… Before there was Facebook and Twitter and blogs… there was a computer programmer named Ward Cunningham. He’s the guy who, back in 1995, invented the wiki. He also did something even more radical. He didn’t patent it. He passed up billions of dollars in potential revenue, because he believed the internet needed to be more democratic. And why did he invent the wiki in the first place? Next, you wouldn’t think the novel Lolita would go over big in an underground women’s book club in Tehran. But literature, like the people who read it, has a way of surprising you. Azar Nafizi is the author of the celebrated memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran. She was an English professor at the University of Tehran – until she was expelled for refusing to wear a veil. That’s when she began meeting with a few of her former students at her home every week, to talk about the forbidden classics of Western literature. She tells Steve Paulson about the first time they met. Many things can evoke a memory. Like a smell. Or a touch. When Mamek Khadem wanted to evoke the memory of her native Iran during the Islamic revolution in 1979, she did it with music. Her project began when a friend in Tehran needed a soundtrack for an art installation commemorating the anniversary of the revolution. The exhibition included a photo of a baby in a bassinet with the hand of a mother rocking it. Khadem immediately thought of lullabies. And then of songs of the revolution.
