Let's demystify the phenomena known as digital transformation. Let's break down this best-known secret to success and build it up page by page. Let's look at all the threads that connect and create this digital spiderweb. And let's dig into what kind of role you can play as a digital artist in this new and infinite digital renaissance. This book is born from the urge to help guide you through the digital pitfalls, to show how the anthropological approach needs to play an even bigger role now than ever, how culture, leadership, infrastructure, organizational change and agile methodologies can help if seen as intervened enablers. This book will thus not dig into deep descriptions of known technologies or methodologies. This already exists in abundance on the world wide web. The point of interest for this book is the bigger picture, the connections, the intent, the purpose and you. I will come with this bold statement: that you will never succeed with your digital transformation if you don't first understand the different entities in it and their connections, and then decide how your digital transformation should be. This book will provide insights into this and show you how it all can be connected to create the great customer experience you and your customers want.

This book explains strategies, techniques, legal issues and the relationships between digital resistance activities, information warfare actions, liberation technology and human rights. It studies the concept of authority in the digital era and focuses in particular on the actions of so-called digital dissidents. Moving from the difference between hacking and computer crimes, the book explains concepts of hacktivism, the information war between states, a new form of politics (such as open data movements, radical transparency, crowd sourcing and “Twitter Revolutions”), and the hacking of political systems and of state technologies. The book focuses on the protection of human rights in countries with oppressive regimes.

From the author of the New York Times bestseller The Inevitable— a sweeping vision of technology as a living force that can expand our individual potential In this provocative book, one of today's most respected thinkers turns the conversation about technology on its head by viewing technology as a natural system, an extension of biological evolution. By mapping the behavior of life, we paradoxically get a glimpse at where technology is headed-or "what it wants." Kevin Kelly offers a dozen trajectories in the coming decades for this near-living system. And as we align ourselves with technology's agenda, we can capture its colossal potential. This visionary and optimistic book explores how technology gives our lives greater meaning and is a must-read for anyone curious about the future.

Reflecting on Lenten themes of exodus, redemption, discipline, and repentance, readers, both Black and white, will be empowered for the work of racial justice.
