Books like Everything Is Miscellaneous by David Weinberger


In *Everything Is Miscellaneous*, David Weinberger examines the collapse of the old, single‑place world of information and the rise of a new, digital order in which data spread across multiple categories and platforms. Drawing on ideas from library science, information management, and social psychology, he explains how the old systems—like the Dewey decimal classification—are stretched to breaking point, and how new technologies such as Google Earth and online shopping models are redefining how we organize, access, and value knowledge. Weinberger shows that by embracing the messy, mixed nature of digital information, businesses, educators, and individuals can tap into a wealth of opportunities and manage information more effectively in modern work and life.

The Expulsion of the Other by 7254629|Byung-Chul Han book cover

📘 The Expulsion of the Other

A proliferação do igual é uma “plenitude na qual transluz ainda apenas o vazio”. A expulsão do outro traz um vazio adiposo da plenitude. Obscenos são a hipervisibilidade, a hipercomunicação, a hiperprodução, o hiperconsumo, que levam a uma rápida estagnação do igual. Obscena é a “ligação do igual com o igual”. A sedução é, em contrapartida, a “capacidade de arrancar o igual do igual”, deixá-lo fugir de si mesmo. O sujeito da sedução é o outro. (Da obra)
