Je ne m'attendais à ce que cette nouvelle soit aussi drôle. C'était vraiment une bonne surprise.
Un livre absolument incroyable et indispensable dans une bibliothèque moderne. Le ton et le thème sont tranchants et précis et malgré l'étrangeté du sujet et de la narration, le livre parle le mieux de humains et de leur interactions sociales. Juste dans la Pologne entre les deux guerres et encore très contemporain.

Un essai sur l'art, le roman et l'histoire de l'art. Kundera s'étonne de la méconnaissant des Français de leur propre histoire littéraire et réfléchit par la suite aux romans qui comptent, ceux qui comptent en France, ceux qui ont marqué sa vie et ce que l'art veut dire dans la vie.
Loin d'être une réflexion personnelle et décousue, Le Rideau nous amène à nous questionner sur l'art et notre relation à l'art. Particulièrement aux raisons pour lesquelles certains auteurs sont plus mis en avant que d'autres, ou plutôt quels sont les thèmes qui marquent nos ménoires plus que d'autres.

I started by watching the older movie and it was dense and intense to watch a bit like "Jules et Jim", a movie that you can't forget it has been a book. The book has the same pattern and movie forward seems like walking through a pile of bricks. Nonetheless, it's enjoyable and the atmosphere builds up on you slowly but surely. It has a very nice depiction of Berlin in the same feeling as you can see it in Cabaret. I'm currently half through it and looking forward how it develops.

Livre déjà un peu ancien (2009), mais il est fort intéressant de voir à quel point les chiffres et la statistique avaient déjà une présence et une force bien avant les KPIs et autres indicateurs de croissance. Remise en contexte de la force de la gouvernance des nombres.
"Cyber war is coming," announced a land-mark RAND report in 1993. In 2005, the U.S. …
This book is an overview of the (at the time) current incidents linked to cyber infrastructure. It also tries to introduce classic philosophical concepts about the "cyberspace". Indeed, at the time of writing that book (2013), cyberwar was present in every mouth and especially in fearmongering terms such as "cyber 9-11" or "cyber Pearl Harbor" but lack conceptual understanding.
Before diving into the large number of examples, the author sets the base concepts for war (Clausewitz), espionage, sabotage and subversion. Reading this book almost 10 years later brings a lot of perspective and truth to the assumptions of the author. As a lot of them remained true, one can reflect about what cyberwar actually is. Cyberwar don't create "cyber deaths" and until now no known incidents lead to the direct deaths of humans (among others). Further conceptual work and time must pass before we grasp the specific nature of cyberwar. …

The political concepts of this book are the most interesting part as the examples are today a bit dated and more recent one are well covered by books like "Sandworm" (2019) and subversion online has been extend studied in the past 10 years (from Castells to Coleman).
However, it seems that a lot of philosophical work is still needed to understand what "cyberwar" means in 2022. Is it a part of "real" war? Is it something totally different? What about cyber espionage and cyber sabotage?
The current war in Ukraine and its currently "missing cyberwar" (comparing it to Sandworm for example) does bring these questions into perspective. "Cyber war will not take place" remains a good read to everyone interested in those questions, although a lot of the examples seem outdated today they remain relevant (Aramco hack, Operation Aurora, APT1 etc.).

Très bon livre. Matthieu Suc ne déçoit jamais. Le format procès verbal n'est pas toujours facile à lire cependant.
Livre absolument brillant et très bien documenté sur l'impact environmental et social d'Internet. Au-delà du très dilletante "Earth Day", "L'enfer du numérique" explore la structure même d'Internet, depuis les cables jusqu'au datacenter, les mines de cobalt et les usines en Chine. Livre à mettre entre toutes les mains.
