Who Can You Trust?

Autor Rachel Botsman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 oct 2018

În lucrarea de față, remarcăm o analiză riguroasă a modului în care fundamentul societății noastre — încrederea — trece printr-o transformare radicală, de la modelele instituționale ierarhice către un sistem distribuit, mediat de tehnologie. Subliniem faptul că nu asistăm la o dispariție a încrederii, ci la o recalibrare a acesteia: deși scepticismul față de lideri și bănci crește, acceptăm fără ezitare să călătorim cu străini sau să tranzacționăm monede digitale. Această ediție extinde cadrul propus de The Trust Revolution de M Todd Henderson cu date noi din realitatea curentă a platformelor digitale, oferind o perspectivă mai puțin axată pe istoria reglementărilor și mai mult pe mecanismele psihologice și sociale care fac posibile interacțiunile moderne.

Who Can You Trust? reprezintă o evoluție naturală în opera autoarei, completând tezele din What's Mine Is Yours. Dacă în lucrarea anterioară Rachel Botsman se concentra pe economia colaborativă ca model de consum, aici ea sondează infrastructura invizibilă care susține aceste schimburi. Structura narativă este una echilibrată, alternând studiile de caz despre succesul platformelor de tip gig-economy cu avertismente prudente despre vulnerabilitatea datelor și algoritmilor. Reținem abordarea sa interdisciplinară, care îmbină sociologia cu tehnologia, reușind să explice cum algoritmii înlocuiesc treptat contractele tradiționale. Față de abordarea teoretică din Trust in Social and Business Relations, lucrarea lui Botsman este mult mai ancorată în experiența cotidiană a utilizatorului de tehnologie, fiind un ghid esențial pentru înțelegerea peisajului digital actual.

Recenzii

Beautifully-written . . . the thesis is completely compelling. This is an important book
This is that admirable and all too rare book that gives you "an idea to think with" that helps to put new things in place: from Brexit, Donald Trump, and Blockchain to Facebook and your discontents. Who Can You Trust is a primer for a new world that sets you up to be a better citizen, consumer, and parent. In the new world of decentralized trust you need to think about who you trust, why you trust, and what that really means for what kind of new society we are building. A beautifully written, clear eyed book...I learned so much. About so many things I wanted to know. So quickly

Trust affects everything - from neighbourliness and shopping to democracy.

A timely and accessible framework for understanding what trust is, how it works, why it matters and how it is evolving. It is an important primer to the obstacles and opportunities we face as a society if we are to repair and redefine trust across socioeconomic, political and cultural divides. The stakes are high.

Descriere scurtă

TRUST IS FUNDAMENTAL TO EVERY ACTION, EVERY RELATIONSHIP, EVERY TRANSACTION

AND IT MATTERS NOW MORE THAN EVER BEFORE...

In this ground-breaking book world-renowned trust expert Rachel Botsman reveals that we are at the tipping point of one of the biggest social transformations in human history. We might have lost faith in institutions and leaders, but millions of people travel in cars with total strangers, exchange digital currencies, or find themselves trusting a bot.

We still trust: but not the way we used to.

If we are to benefit from this radical shift, we must understand how trust is built, managed, lost and repaired in the digital age. In the first book to explain this new world, Botsman provides a definitive guide of this uncharted landscape - and explores what's next for humanity.
