Den 12. august 2022 befandt Salman Rushdie sig på en scene i byen Chautauqua i Upstate New York, hvor han skulle holde foredrag om forfatteres sikkerhed. En sortklædt mand kom springende fra salen og gik koldblodigt til angreb på Rushdie med en kniv. Han stak ham overalt, han kunne komme til, 15 steder – stikket i det højre øje gik så langt ind, at det skar den optiske nerve over og var millimeter fra hjernen, millimeter fra at slå ham ihjel. KNIV ligner ikke noget Salman Rushdie har skrevet tidligere. Han skriver mere personligt end nogensinde. Og han pakker intet ind. Det er et råt dokument, og det gør indtryk. Bogen er selvbiografisk. Rushdie fortæller om sin barndom, sin familie, sin alkoholiserede far, sine børn og sin kone – og om det had, han oplevede, efter han skrev de Sataniske vers og de ti år, han levede mere eller mindre under jorden i England. Han fortæller også meget direkte om, hvordan flere ikke støttede op om ham på det tidspunkt og mente, han selv var skyld i sin situation – Jimmy Carter og Germaine Greer fx – det nager ham stadig. I 2000 flyttede han til New York og insisterede på at leve en fri tilværelse. KNIV handler om ytringsfrihed og Salman Rushdies insisteren på at leve i frihed, og den handler om at komme igennem en frygtelig begivenhed. Bogen er et stærkt dokument, fuldstændig ublufærdigt. Det er velskrevet og interessant læsning.

Memory is far more than a record of the past. In this groundbreaking tour of the mind and brain, one of the world’s top memory researchers reveals the powerful role memory plays in nearly every aspect of our lives, from recalling faces and names, to learning, decision-making, trauma and healing.A new understanding of memory is emerging from the latest scientific research. In Why We Remember, pioneering neuroscientist and psychologist Charan Ranganath radically reframes the way we think about the everyday act of remembering. Combining accessible language with cutting-edge research, he reveals the surprising ways our brains record the past and how we use that information to understand who we are in the present, and to imagine and plan for the future.Memory, Dr. Ranganath shows, is a highly transformative force that shapes how we experience the world in often invisible and sometimes destructive ways. Knowing this can help us with daily remembering tasks, like finding our keys, and with the challenge of memory loss as we age. What’s more, when we work with the brain’s ability to learn and reinterpret past events, we can heal trauma, shed our biases, learn faster, and grow in self-awareness.Including fascinating studies and examples from pop culture, and drawing on Ranganath’s life as a scientist, father, and child of immigrants, Why We Remember is a captivating read that unveils the hidden role memory plays throughout our lives. When we understand its power-- and its quirks--we can cut through the clutter and remember the things we want to remember. We can make freer choices and plan a happier future.

AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER'Masterly... Utterly compelling... A highly readable and engaging tour' Sam Freedman, The TimesFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Signal and the Noise, the definitive guide to our era of risk-and the players raising the stakesIn the bestselling The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely and riveting new book, Silver investigates "The River," or those whose mastery of risk allows them to shape-and dominate-so much of modern life. These professional risk takers-poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true-believers and blue-chip art collectors-can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the 21st century. By embedding within these worlds, Silver offers insight into a range of issues that affect us all, from the frontiers of finance to the future of AI.The River has increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society, and understanding their mindset-including the flaws in their thinking-is key to understanding what drives technology and the global economy today. There are certain commonalities in this otherwise diverse group: high tolerance for risk; appreciation of uncertainty; affinity for numbers; skill at de-coupling; self-reliance and a distrust of the conventional wisdom. For the River, complexity is baked in, and the work is how to navigate it, without going beyond the pale.Taking us behind-the-scenes from casinos to venture capital firms to meetings of the effective altruism movement, On the Edge is a deeply-reported, all-access journey into a hidden world of powerbrokers and risk takers.

I bogen gennemgår Marianne Stidsen ulykkelige konsekvenser af den omstridte samtykkelov, som er gennemtrumfet. 10 mænd og drenge, der er blevet fængslet og dømt på grund af en lovgivning med en urealistisk opfattelse af forholdet mellem kønnene.Årsagen er, at Folketinget undlod at følge det klokkeklare råd, som størstedelen af de juridiske eksperter – herunder de 10 ud af Straffelovrådets 11 medlemmer – kom med, nemlig at en skærpet voldtægtslovgivning burde baseres på begrebet ’frivillighed’. I stedet valgte man at følge diverse interesseorganisationers samt det ene woke-feministiske strafferådsmedlems anbefaling af begrebet ’samtykke’.Det har vist sig at få voldsomme konsekvenser. Straffelovrådet – og de mange andre samtykkekritiske juridiske eksperter, fra juraprofessorer og forsvarsadvokater til medlemmer af Dommerforeningens bestyrelse – fik således fuldstændig ret i, at dette ville sende retssikkerheden ud i mørket. Det viser Marianne Stidsens grundige gennemgang af 10 konkrete samtykkesager, hvor mænd og helt unge drenge er idømt flere års ubetinget fængsel på et meget spinkelt grundlag.Skal identitetskampen og krænkelseskulturen have lov til at undergrave vores retsvæsen, spørger Marianne Stidsen. Marianne Stidsen er formand for foreningen "Ord mod ord", foreningen for drenge og mænds retssikkerhed i samtykkesager.Bogen er let illustreret.

"Når kvinder har problemer, forsøger vi at ændre verden. Når mænd har problemer, forsøger vi - i det omfang, vi overhovedet interesserer os for dem - at ændre mænd." Aldrig din skyld, altid din skyld er en kritisk analyse af to fortællinger om køn, som ifølge forfatteren dominerer debatten og politikken om køn og ligestilling. Med eksempler fra de seneste 10 års ligestillingsdebat undersøger bogen, hvorfor fortællingerne eksisterer, hvordan de reproduceres, hvilke konsekvenser de har, og hvordan de kan nedbrydes. Analysen placerer en del af årsagen i den feministiske forestilling om patriarkatet og dennes betydning for det, forfatteren kalder den feministiske kirke og det feministiske økosystem. Men også politikere og medier tilskrives en del af ansvaret.Aldrig din skyld, altid din skyld er en debatbog, som forholder sig til en række af tidens ligestillingspolitiske aktører, idéer og diskussioner. Det er endvidere en personlig bog, i hvilken forfatteren inddrager sine erfaringer som deltager i debatten om køn og ligestilling.Tobias Petersen (f. 1979) er sociolog og har siden 2014 skrevet om køn og ligestilling på sin egen hjemmeside Reelligestilling.dk, for onlinemediet Kontrast og i debatindlæg og kronikker i blandt andet Politiken, Information, Jyllands-Posten, Altinget og Weekendavisen.

Ytringsfriheden er blevet hyldet som den ”første frihed”, fundamentet for demokratiet og et værn mod tyranniets fjende, der åbner porten mod oplysningen. Begrebet er samtidig genstand for mange kontroverser, der udfordrer og kan synes kontraintuitiv, særligt i krisetider. Rundt omkring i verdenen – både i demokratier og autoritære stater – har ytringsfriheden trange kår.Ytringsfrihed – fra Sokrates til sociale medier går forfatteren og samfundsdebattøren Jacob Mchangama historisk til værks for at vise, hvordan ytringsfrihedens juridiske, politiske og kulturelle historie hænger nøje sammen med de fænomener, som vi er vidne til i dag. Ønsket om at sikre og kæmpe for ytringsfriheden har desværre også altid gået hånd i hånd med ønsket om at begrænse den: hver gang man søger at underordne ytringsfriheden andre hensyn og værdier, efterfølges den altid af censur og lignende foranstaltninger. Bogen viser på overbevisende måde, hvordan selv ytringsfrihedens forkæmpere kan føle sig fristede til at begrænse den, når modstridende stemmer udfordrer magt og privilegier.I bogen møder vi stemmerne fra antikkens talere til digitale aktivister, hvor forfatteren ikke blot demonstrerer, hvordan den intellektuelle og videnskabelige historie har været betinget af modige forkæmpere, der turde at stille spørgsmålstegn ved den gældende ortodoksi, men også hvordan ytringsfriheden har været medvirkende til at fremme frihed og lighed på verdensplan.

In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists organized a picnic on the border of Hungary and Austria. But this was not an ordinary picnic-it was located on the dangerous militarized frontier known as the Iron Curtain. Tacit permission from the highest state authorities could be revoked at any moment. On wisps of rumor, thousands of East German "vacationers" packed Hungarian campgrounds, awaiting an opportunity, fearing prison, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The Pan-European Picnic set the stage for the greatest border breach in Cold War history: hundreds crossed from the Communist East to the longed-for freedom of the West.Drawing on dozens of original interviews-including Hungarian activists and border guards, East German refugees, Stasi secret police, and the last Communist prime minister of Hungary-Matthew Longo tells a gripping and revelatory tale of the unraveling of the Iron Curtain and the birth of a new world order. Just a few months after the Picnic, the Berlin Wall fell, and the freedom for which the activists and refugees had abandoned their homes, risked imprisonment, sacrificed jobs, family, and friends, was suddenly available to everyone. But were they really free? And why, three decades since the Iron Curtain was torn down, have so many sought once again to build walls?Cinematically told, The Picnic recovers a time when it seemed possible for the world to change. With insight and panache, Longo explores the opportunities taken-and the opportunities we failed to take-in that pivotal moment.
