En spændende krimi af Kim Faber og Janni Pedersen som fortsætter historien om politikommissæren Martin Juncker og hans gamle partner Signe Kristiansen. Juncker som forsøger at rydde op i fortiden, hvilket er svært, da han hver nat siden hans fars død er præget af mareridt. Det er en svær opgave af fortrænge fortiden, da hans datter begynder at se sig skepsis på det hele. Junckers kone, journalisten Charlotte er kommet i avisens gravergruppe, og modtager en dag et anonymt tip om, at det forfærdelige terrorangreb der for et halvt år siden fandt i sted i København, kunne have været undgået. Det går senere op for Charlotte at Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste antageligt kendte til terrorplanerne, med undlod at gribe ind. Juncker bliver konfronterede med dette, med ønsker ikke at involvere sig i sagen, da det kan bringe ham og Charlotte i en livsfarlig situation. Det er derfor op til Junckers gamle partner Signe Kristensen at komme til bunds i sagen, men som selv har sine egne problemer at slås med i hendes privatliv. Da der senere opstår en forbindelse mellem terrorsagen og et frygtelig lig, som bliver fundet af nogle børn i Kongelunden, beslutter Signe sig at gå all in i sagen, for at forsøge at grave sandhederne frem. En uhyggelig fortælling om hvor grusomt det kan gå, når fornuften falder igennem og ondskaben får frit spil.
Regeringen putter noget i drikkevandet, der gør dig lydig. Jøderne kontrollerer alle verdens medier og regeringer, og det var i virkeligheden amerikanerne selv, der stod bag angrebet på World Trade Center, samtidig med at det også var Osama bin Laden. Intet er, som det ser ud, og der er skjulte kræfter overalt, som undertrykker os. Fortællingen om skjulte kræfters indflydelse på verdens gang dukker op med stadig større hyppighed, men hvad skal man egentlig mene om konspirationsteorier? Er det farlige fortællinger, som peger direkte frem mod politisk vold og terror, eller er det harmløse og farverige fortællinger med en vis underholdningsværdi, som vi ikke behøver at tage særligt alvorligt? Og kan man i det hele taget skelne mellem sande og falske konspirationsteorier? Bogen undersøger fænomenet konspirationsteorier ud fra en række analytiske tilgange og giver et bud på hvordan de opstår, hvorfor de eksisterer og hvorledes det kan være, at vi tilsyneladende bliver ved med at fascineres af fortællingernes afsløring af en skjult sandhed. Konspirationsteorien kædes sammen med fænomenerne magt og konflikt og analyseres som en særlig fortælleform, hvor det strukturerende princip for fortællingen er forklaringen på, hvorledes, hvorfor og hvem der holder noget skjult. I løbet af bogen præsenteres og analyseres mange af de konspirationsteorier, der har floreret i historien, og dem der aktivt fortælles i dag på internettet og de sociale medier.
Fra en af spændingslitteraturens mestre kommer en hæsblæsende spionthriller af højeste kaliber.K.D. Faulkner. Det første initial står for Kane, det andet står for ingenting. Kane er CIA-spion med speciale inden for forbudte og ufremkommelige territorier, og for ham har grænser ingen betydning. Han ved, hvornår man skal stikke af, hvornår man skal gemme sig – og hvornår man skal skyde. Han er blevet tildelt en mission i ingenmandslandet mellem Pakistan, Iran og Afghanistan, en voldsom konfliktzone, hvor vold er den eneste gældende lov. Hans mission består i at ledsage en mand, som besidder værdifuld information, der kan få betydning for Vestens sikkerhed, ud af området. Men Kane modarbejdes af en fjende, som ønsker at tilintetgøre verden, som vi kender den – en skræmmende, begavet og ondskabsfuld mand, som kun har ét mål for øje: hævn.Græshoppens år er den længe ventede opfølger til Jeg er Pilgrim. Det er en page-turner om en mand med beføjelse til at dræbe, som vil gøre alt hvad der står i hans magt for at sikre verdensfreden i et intenst kapløb mod tiden. Græshoppens år er en klassisk spionthriller, en neglebider og et moderne spændingsdrama af højeste kaliber.
';New Dark Ageis among the most unsettling and illuminating books I've read about the Internet, which is to say that it is among the most unsettling and illuminating books I've read about contemporary life.'New YorkerAs the world around us increases in technological complexity, our understanding of it diminishes. Underlying this trend is a single idea: the belief that our existence is understandable through computation, and more data is enough to help us build a better world. In reality, we are lost in a sea of information, increasingly divided by fundamentalism, simplistic narratives, conspiracy theories, and post-factual politics. Meanwhile, those in power use our lack of understanding to further their own interests. Despite the apparent accessibility of information, we're living in a new Dark Age. From rogue financial systems to shopping algorithms, from artificial intelligence to state secrecy, we no longer understand how our world is governed or presented to us. The media is filled with unverifiable speculation, much of it generated by anonymous software, while companies dominate their employees through surveillance and the threat of automation. In his brilliant new work, leading artist and writer James Bridle surveys the history of art, technology, and information systems, and reveals the dark clouds that gather over our dreams of the digital sublime.
From Garrett M. Graff, the New York Times bestselling author of The Only Plane in the Sky and Raven Rock, a fascinating and eye-opening narrative history that uncovers the secrets of our government's decades-long quest to solve one of our most greatest mysteries: whether we are, in fact, alone in the universe.
Suveræn virus? Den kapitalistiske åndenød er Donatella Di Cesare seneste bog, og er en kort og koncis intellektuel vejviser til Corona-pandemien. Den udgør et af de første væsentlige bidrag til den filosofiske litteratur om pandemien, og er en bearbejdning af en række centrale temaer inden for politisk filosofi, herunder undtagelsestilstand, livets sårbarhed, grænseregimet, teknokrati, ekspertvælde, konspirationsteorier, demokrati, isolation og vejrtrækning.Donatella di Cesare (f. 1956) er en af Italiens mest fremtrædende og nulevende filosoffer. Hun er forfatter til en række bøger om forholdet mellem filosofi og politik, herunder Heidegger og jøderne: de »sorte hæfter« (2014) samt Tortur (2016). Senest har hun i den italienske presse kritiseret Giorgio Agambens kommentarer om Corona-virussens farlighed og hans sammenligning af vaccinepas med de nazistiske jødestjerner; en parallel som også har været genstand for omfattende kritik i Danmark.
"In the sixty-four days between November 3 and January 6, President Donald Trump and his allies fought to reverse the outcome of the vote. Focusing on six states--Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin-- Trump's supporters claimed widespread voter fraud. It was not a well-orchestrated matter. There was no guiding genius pulling the strings in key states for the defeated Donald Trump. In the weeks after the election, in counties and precincts all over the country, many local Republican officials and even Trump's own campaign workers washed their hands of his increasingly unhinged allegations of fraud. But there was no shortage of people willing to take up the fight. Urged on by Trump and his coterie of advocates, lawyers, and media propagandists, true believers turned on their colleagues, friends, and neighbors-- even those in their own party--to accuse them of rigging the election. The real story of the insurrection began months before Trump's mob attacked the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. That riot was the desperate final act, emblematic of the clumsy, failed movement Trump had been building for years. It began in cities and small towns all over America on election day, November 3, 2020. Working with a team of researchers and reporters, Bowden and Teague uncover never-before-told accounts from the election officials fighting to do their jobs amid outlandish claims and threats to themselves, their colleagues, and their families. The Steal is an engaging, in-depth report on what happened during those crucial nine weeks and a portrait of the heroic individuals who did their duty and stood firm against the unprecedented, sustained attack on our election system to ensure that every legal vote was counted and the will of the people prevailed."--Provided by publisher.
The most compelling, most absurd and most shocking conspiracy theories in one stunningly illustrated hardback edition. 22 November, 1963: Dallas, Texas. US President John F Kennedy is assassinated as his motorcade passes through the city's streets. The assassin is soon captured, and revealed to be disaffected Communist symapthizer Lee Harvey Oswald. Did Oswald have help, and if so, who from? The Bilderberg Group: simply a group of international financiers concerned to promote democracy throughout the world, or is there a more sinister power at work? And what really happened to Princess Diana's Mercedes in the Paris underpass? Conspiracy theories arise out of the belief that mysterious forces are conspiring behind the scenes to control and manipulate an unsuspecting public. In times gone by, the prime movers behind conspiracies would have been seen as Satanists, witches, anarchists; modern conspiracy theorists, however, are more usually keen to blame the CIA. The fact that the CIA has been proven beyond doubt to have been involved in conspiracies simply strengthens their hand. Conspiracies looks at a range of the most interesting theories of this nature, from the risibly far-fetched, such as the belief that the world is run by the lizard people, to the only-too-true and tragic such as the overthrow and murder of Chilean President Salvador Allende.
Feminism is broken, argues Laura Kipnis. Anyone who thinks the sexual hysteria overtaking American campuses is a sign of gender progress is deranged. A committed feminist, Kipnis was surprised to find herself the object of a protest march by student activists at her university for writing an essay about sexual paranoia on campus. Next she was brought up on Title IX complaints for creating a ?hostile environment.? Defying confidentiality strictures, she wrote a whistle-blowing essay about the ensuing seventy-two-day investigation, which propelled her to the center of national debates over free speech, ?safe spaces,? and the vast federal overreach of Title IX.In the process, she uncovered an astonishing netherworld of accused professors and students, campus witch hunts, rigged investigations, and Title IX officers run amok. Then a trove of revealing documents fell into her lap, plunging her behind the scenes in an especially controversial case. Drawing on investigative reporting, cultural analysis, and her own experiences, Kipnis demonstrates the chilling effect of this new sexual McCarthyism on intellectual freedom. Without minimizing the seriousness of campus assault, she argues for more honesty about the sexual realities and ambivalences hidden behind the notion of ?rape culture.? Instead, regulation is replacing education, and women's right to be treated as consenting adults is being repealed by well-meaning bureaucrats.Unwanted Advances is a risk-taking, often darkly funny interrogation of feminist paternalism, the covert sexual conservatism of hookup culture, and the institutionalized backlash of holding men alone responsible for mutually drunken sex. It's not just compulsively readable; it will change the national conversation.
?Punchy and well-reported....Sommer is the perfect person to tell this story." ?New York Times"A story so bizarre, only Will Sommer could report it.? ?Molly Jong-FastNow in paperback, the definitive book on QAnon from the reporter knows them best; Will Sommer explains what it is, how it has gained a mainstream following among Republican lawmakers and ordinary citizens, the threat it poses to democracy, and how we can reach those who have embraced the conspiracy and are disseminating its lies.The Storm is Coming. Trust the Plan. WWG1WGA. You've seen the letter Q on TV and in the news ? it's been everywhere from Trump rallies to the January 6th insurrection. ?QAnon? used to sound vaguely familiar, somewhat ominous, but not quite mainstream. But what was once a fringe conspiracy theory has now become a household name and its symbols recognizable around the world. How did this happen, who is actually involved, what do they believe, and what do they want?Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer has been on the ground with Q's followers since day one, and in Trust the Plan Sommer has written the definitive book on the movement?who started it and who grew it, what they really believe is going on, and what they want to see ?the Storm? accomplish on the day of its reckoning. At once a character study and a journalistic exposé, Sommer lets his cast of characters do the talking as he visits them around the world, from their makeshift compounds to the rallies they are still holding.The great tragedy of this story is ultimately the legitimization of this ideology by mainstream politicians eager to gain access to a large and growing cohort of voters. Though 2020 brought the end of Trump's presidency, his following within the QAnon community has simply pivoted and grown stronger. Trust the Plan shows us in granular detail who we'll be up against for years to come, in the US and abroad. Understanding why and how something like Q happens is an indispensable exercise, and in showing us how we got here we can chart a path out.

"In this thoughtful, moving, and well-written book, Dan Ariely narrates his personal and professional journey to understand the world of misbelievers and conspiracy theories, and offers insights and tips that will hopefully help all of us protect our fragile social fabric from being torn apart by disinformation and distrust."--Yuval Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens"Misbelief is an urgent examination of the human attraction to misinformation. This timely book can provide a crucial foundation for building a more empathetic and informed society."--Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Power of RegretThe renowned social scientist, professor, and bestselling author of Predictably Irrational delivers his most urgent and compelling book--an eye-opening exploration of the human side of the misinformation crisis--examining what drives otherwise rational people to adopt deeply irrational beliefs.Misinformation affects all of us on a daily basis--from social media to larger political challenges, from casual conversations in supermarkets, to even our closest relationships. While we recognize the dangers that misinformation poses, the problem is complex--far beyond what policing social media alone can achieve--and too often our limited solutions are shaped by partisan politics and individual interpretations of truth.In Misbelief, preeminent social scientist Dan Ariely argues that to understand the irrational appeal of misinformation, we must first understand the behavior of "misbelief"--the psychological and social journey that leads people to mistrust accepted truths, entertain alternative facts, and even embrace full-blown conspiracy theories. Misinformation, it turns out, appeals to something innate in all of us--on the right and the left--and it is only by understanding this psychology that we can blunt its effects. Grounded in years of study as well as Ariely's own experience as a target of disinformation, Misbelief is an eye-opening and comprehensive analysis of the psychological drivers that cause otherwise rational people to adopt deeply irrational beliefs. Utilizing the latest research, Ariely reveals the key elements--emotional, cognitive, personality, and social--that drive people down the funnel of false information and mistrust, showing how under the right circumstances, anyone can become a misbeliever.Yet Ariely also offers hope. Even as advanced artificial intelligence has become capable of generating convincing fake news stories at an unprecedented scale, he shows that awareness of these forces fueling misbelief make us, as individuals and as a society, more resilient to its allure. Combating misbelief requires a strategy rooted not in conflict, but in empathy. The sooner we recognize that misbelief is above all else a human problem, the sooner we can become the solution ourselves.

"Journalists Shane Burley and Ben Lorber present a sorely-needed progressive and intersectional approach to the vital question: What can we do about antisemitism? From online trolling of Jews by the 'alt-right' to synagogue shootings by white nationalists to the spread of QAnon and George Soros conspiracy theories, antisemitism is a fixture of U.S. politics today. Its rise is part and parcel of growing exclusionary nationalist movements - putting multiracial democracy itself at risk. At the same time, conversations about antisemitism are more polarized than ever. How is antisemitism connected to anti-Blackness, xenophobia, anti-LGBTQ bigotry, and other forms of oppression? How do we build the coalitions and movements we need to fight it all together? Why is it important to distinguish between legitimate criticism of Israel's oppression of Palestinians and antisemitism? Using personal stories, historical deep-dives, front-line reporting, and interviews with leading change-makers, Lorber and Burley help the reader understand how antisemitism works, what's at stake in contemporary debates, and how we can build true safety in solidarity"--
