Book Description
In the 2020 CBC Massey Lectures, bestselling author and renowned technology and security expert Ronald J. Deibert exposes the disturbing influence and impact of the internet on politics, the economy, the environment, and humanity. Digital technologies have given rise to a new machine-based civilization that is increasingly linked to a growing number of social and political maladies. Accountability is weak and insecurity is endemic, creating disturbing opportunities for exploitation. Drawing from the cutting-edge research of the Citizen Lab, the world-renowned digital security research group which he founded and directs, Ronald J. Deibert exposes the impacts of this communications ecosystem on civil society. He tracks a mostly unregulated surveillance industry, innovations in technologies of remote control, superpower policing practices, dark PR firms, and highly profitable hack-for-hire services feeding off rivers of poorly secured personal data. Deibert also unearths how dependence on social media and its expanding universe of consumer electronics creates immense pressure on the natural environment. In order to combat authoritarian practices, environmental degradation, and rampant electronic consumerism, he urges restraints on tech platforms and governments to reclaim the internet for civil society.

Book Description
As consumers, our access to—and appetite for—information about what and how we buy continues to grow. Powered by social media, increasingly we look at the companies behind the products and are disappointed when their actions do not meet our expectations. With engaged citizens acting as 24/7 auditors of corporate behavior, one formerly trusted company after another has had their business disrupted with astonishing velocity in the wake of what, in the past, might have been written off as a bad media cycle. Gone are the days when a company could hide behind “socially responsible” branding or when marketing controlled the corporate narrative. That control has shifted to engaged stakeholders in the new social landscape, requiring a more radical change to company practices. James Rubin and Barie Carmichael provide a strategic roadmap for businesses to navigate the new era, rebuild trust, and find their voice. Reset traces the global decline of trust in business at the same time that the public’s expectations for business’s role in society is increasing. Today, businesses must bridge this widening gap at a time when online stakeholders are committed to holding business accountable for its behavior, with unprecedented internal and external scrutiny. This requires strategic solutions anchored in a critical outside-in understanding of the stakeholder footprint of the business model. Reset offers case studies of reputations lost and found, suggesting fundamental strategies to mitigate risk and build the corporate brand. In this new era of instant transparency, corporate behavior has become the proof of corporate character for recruiting and retaining both customers and the next generation of talent. Offering essential advice for managing brand, reputation, and risk, this book is a guide to navigating the pitfalls and taking advantage of the opportunities of the reset.

Book Description
#1 Amazon Best Seller in Mystery & Detective “This is the most ambitious entry yet in this brain-twisting time-travel series.”—Booklife (Publisher’s Weekly) “Indeed, readers will find that the narrative is more intricate than the inside of a complex pocket watch. If Back to the Future is elementary time travel, this is the stuff of doctoral theses.”—Kirkus Reviews. “Datta’s vivid descriptions do an excellent job of bringing the Time Corrector Universe to life on the pages…. Fans of mind-bending science fiction will find themselves enthralled by Datta’s expertly crafted narrative and clever twists”—Prairies Book Review. “Fans of dense, intricately detailed SF won’t want to miss this one.” —BookView Review WHEN THE WORLDS COLLIDE, THEIR LOVE WILL REWRITE THE FABRIC OF REALITY In the shocking third installment of the Time Corrector series, super-genius Dr. Vincent Abajian finds himself in an even grander drama, and this time, the fate of his beloved daughter is on the line. The Reset is a culmination of worlds colliding, timelines interweaving, and relationships that seemed indestructible, reaching dire breaking points. Vincent gets in the midst of an international political crisis forged by his adversary, Philip Nardin. As he tirelessly works to offset the impact, Philip kidnaps Nozomi, Vincent’s daughter. In an endgame decision, Vincent relinquishes his time-correcting powers to Philip while the world leaders launch a devastating arms race to weaponize Intreton—the purest energy source that can alter reality if mishandled. The two opponents, Vincent and Philip, unite against political and military forces to save reality from crumbling. Their plan reveals a mind-bending past and the identity of a time-twisted villain Philip calls the Lunatic. Such revelation leads to a dramatic conclusion and opens the possibility of a Reset. As someone close to Vincent shows their true self, Vincent discovers that Nozomi’s complex ties to Emika and Akane may hold the key to the Reset in this time-hopping clash of love, egos, and desires. A story of love that transcends time and reality, and the sacrifices masquerading as selfish acts, the final book of the award-winning Time Corrector series is a whirlwind of unexpected events—many questions will finally be answered. And yet, new possibilities lay beyond this head-spinning conclusion.

Book Description
If you suddenly discovered a reset button that if pushed would immediately undo all of your past mistakes and failures and would restore your current life to better circumstances, would you be tempted to give it a try? Most of us would, but of course there is no such button. However, in THE RESET you will enjoy a 28-day journey that will enable you to reclaim the life that you should be living! If you are ready for a fresh start now and a bright new hope for your future, start today and read one chapter a day for the next 28 days. Learn 7 life-transforming Resets in 28 days, and reclaim and finally live the life that God designed just for you! THE RESET is both engaging and practical in its style, but most importantly, it works! When you end this 28-day reset journey, you will put down a book, but you will wake up each day thereafter with a new mind set, ready to go out every day and live your life with overflowing confident hope. Here are just a few of the highlighted quotes: For all of us, life is a journey, and we really want to give it our best shot every day! Even though we can only see in part where our daily journey is taking us and what the cumulative outcomes will be, we would like to feel good about our efforts and ourselves at the end of each day." It is quite a game-changer when we realize that God thinks about us quite differently than most of us think about ourselves. No other healing of a broken relationship in life compares to the restoration of your friendship with God. I firmly believe that most of our defeats and setbacks in life come because we do not diligently guard our hearts. God never engineered your hope tank to be empty or even half-full. Instead, He intends for you to max out and overflow with hope so that some of His hope will spill out on others around you. No matter what start you had, you can now have a great finish!
