Minority Report
Im Washington, D.C., des Jahres 2054 gibt es keine Morde mehr. Die Zukunft ist bekannt und Mörder werden gefasst, bevor sie ihr Verbrechen begehen können. Dafür sorgt Pre-Crime, eine Elite-Einheit der Polizei, die die Visionen der Pre-Cogs, drei Wesen mit hellseherischen Fähigkeiten, auswertet und zur Tat schreitet. Das System ist perfekt. Und John Anderton (Tom Cruise) ist sein perfekter Chef: Seit einem tragischen Verlust sechs Jahre zuvor widmet er sein Leben mit vollkommener Leidenschaft der Verbrecherjagd. Es gibt keinen Grund für ihn, am System zu zweifeln - bis er in einer Vision selbst als Mörder zu sehen ist. 36 Stunden bleiben ihm bis zu dem Verbrechen. 36 Stunden, um zu beweisen, dass er unschuldig ist ... und das perfekte System fehlbar. Die Flucht kann beginnen.- Shop: buecher

Good Old Boys and the Women Who Love Them: Timless Tales for Today's Women, Hörbuch, Digital, 51min
Eve has her own story, and she's been waiting millennia for Barbara McBride-Smith to tell it. It's the same for Mrs. Noah. Talk about misunderstood or under-appreciated women! McBride-Smith singles them out for her trademark feminist humor. Following Eve and Mrs. Noah's stories are four of McBride-Smith's retellings of Greek myths from her West Texas good-ole-girl perspective. There's Theseus, one of the heroes of Greek mythology, who turns out to have "a few cogs without a matching ratchet". And then there's Bacchus, the Greek god of wine. He was born without a mother and had a hard childhood. Yet as McBride-Smith explains, he went on to be the patron saint of all women (and all hearty partiers)! Language: English.

Mindless: Why Smarter Machines are Making Dumber Humans , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 393min
We live in the age of Computer Business Systems (CBSs) - the highly complex, computer-intensive management programs on which large organizations increasingly rely. In Mindless, Simon Head argues that these systems have come to trump human expertise, dictating the goals and strategies of a wide array of businesses, and de-skilling the jobs of middle class workers in the process. CBSs are especially dysfunctional, Head argues, when they apply their disembodied expertise to transactions between humans, as in health care, education, customer relations, and human resources management. And yet there are industries with more human approaches, as Head illustrates with specific examples, whose lead we must follow and extend to the mainstream American economy.Mindless illustrates the shortcomings of CBS, providing an in-depth and disturbing look at how human dignity is slipping as we become cogs on a white collar assembly line. ungekürzt.
