This book looks at artificial life science - A-Life, an important new area of scientific research involving the disciplines of microbiology, evolutionary theory, physics, chemistry and computer science. In the 1940s a mathematician named John von Neumann, a man with a claim to being the father of the modern computer, invented a hypothetical mathematical entity called a cellular automaton. His aim was to construct a machine that could reproduce itself. In the years since, with the development of hugely more sophisticated and complex computers, von Neumann's insights have gradually led to a point where scientists have created, within the wiring of these machines, something that so closely simulates life that it may, arguably, be called life. This machine reproduces itself, mutates, evolves through generations and dies.

From renowned tech writer Steven Levy, the complete history of one of the world's most controversial and successful companies. In his sophomore year of college, Mark Zuckerberg created a simple website to serve as a campus social network. But the site caught on like wildfire, and soon students nationwide were on Facebook. Today, Facebook is nearly unrecognizable from Zuckerberg's first, modest iteration. It has grown into a tech giant, the largest social media platform and one of the most gargantuan companies in the world with over 2.23 billion global users. Love it or hate it, there is no denying the power and omnipresence of Facebook in daily life. And in light of growing scandals surrounding election-influencing 'fake news' accounts, the mining of its users' personal data, and growing discontent with the actions of its founder and CEO, never has the company been more central to the international conversation.

Von einer Reise nach Israel und zu mir selbst
Lange ist Israel für Sarah Levy nur das Land, in dem sie als Kind ihren Familienurlaub verbringt, wo es nach Klementinen duftet und man zum Frühstück Avocado in die Pita drückt. Als Studentin erlebt sie das Land als Konfliktschauplatz, anstrengend und voll verkrusteten Misstrauens. Bis eine Reise Sarahs Blick auf Israel verändert – und letztlich den Blick auf sich selbst. Mit Anfang 30 verliebt sie sich in das Land und die Menschen, die sie dort trifft, in ihre Lebenslust, ihre Verletzlichkeit, ihre Wärme. Eine andere Reise beginnt, eine größere – tiefgreifender, als Sarah es jemals erwartet hat. 2019 lässt sie ihr Leben in Hamburg zurück und wandert nach Israel aus. Seither blickt sie meist begeistert, oft auch entgeistert, auf das kleine Land, in dem ihr ständig hochdramatische Familiengeschichten aufgedrängt werden. Oder zumindest Tupperdosen mit Rote-Bete-Salat. In ihrem Buch erzählt Sarah Levy davon, wie Israel für sie zum Sehnsuchtsort wurde und warum sie erst dort vollends verstand, was es bedeutet, Jüdin aus Deutschland zu sein.
