Young fans of Ernie Cline's Ready Player One will love this classic video game inspired mystery filled with elements of Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library and From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. What if playing video games was prepping you to solve an incredible real-world puzzle and locate a priceless treasure? Twelve-year-old Ted Gerson has spent most of his summer playing video games. So when his great-uncle dies and bequeaths him the all so-called treasure in his overstuffed junk shop of an apartment, Ted explores it like it’s another level to beat. And to his shock, he finds that eccentric Great-Uncle Ted actually has set the place up like a real-life escape-the-room game! Using his specially honed skills, Ted sets off to win the greatest game he’s ever played, with help from his friends Caleb and Isabel. Together they discover that Uncle Ted’s “treasure” might be exactly that—real gold and jewels found by a Japanese American unit that served in World War II. With each puzzle Ted and his friends solve, they get closer to unraveling the mystery—but someone dangerous is hot on their heels, and he’s not about to let them get away with the fortune.

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year In the very near future, "smart" technologies and "big data" will allow us to make large-scale and sophisticated interventions in politics, culture, and everyday life. Technology will allow us to solve problems in highly original ways and create new incentives to get more people to do the right thing. But how will such "solutionism" affect our society, once deeply political, moral, and irresolvable dilemmas are recast as uncontroversial and easily manageable matters of technological efficiency? What if some such problems are simply vices in disguise? What if some friction in communication is productive and some hypocrisy in politics necessary? The temptation of the digital age is to fix everything -- from crime to corruption to pollution to obesity -- by digitally quantifying, tracking, or gamifying behavior. But when we change the motivations for our moral, ethical, and civic behavior we may also change the very nature of that behavior. Technology, Evgeny Morozov proposes, can be a force for improvement -- but only if we keep solutionism in check and learn to appreciate the imperfections of liberal democracy. Some of those imperfections are not accidental but by design. Arguing that we badly need a new, post-Internet way to debate the moral consequences of digital technologies, To Save Everything, Click Here warns against a world of seamless efficiency, where everyone is forced to wear Silicon Valley's digital straitjacket.

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will discover that the Internet is a friend to be wary of. Beneath its disinterested airs, it gathers data, measures you, gives you choices that are sometimes not very objective, to better impose its rules on you. You will also discover that : big Data accumulates data in an inordinate amount, the exploitation of which sometimes has harmful consequences for the individual; the Internet has come to interfere in political life by disrupting the decision-making process; access to raw information is now easier, but it hides the added value provided by expert analysis. This work does not militate for a return to the pre-Internet era, but throws a serious spanner in the works of the all-digital puddle. You won't solve anything by double-clicking "here". You may have the illusion of having obtained more information, of having performed tasks more easily, but are you quite sure that you have not been influenced at one time or another and that you have acted with integrity? Silicon Valley has been the center of attention for years because of the technological innovations it brings to the world. It is very likely that right now, engineers are there presenting the results of developments that will be part of our daily lives in a few years: human "augmentations", algorithms capable of predicting criminal acts, others capable of changing the end of a film according to the mood of the viewer, etc. Who today can refuse that these evolutions do not reach us? We will soon be able to find a solution to global warming or to fight corruption effectively. But isn't man, in all his imperfection and unpredictability, sacrificing his freedom on the altar of digital technology? The debate remains open, against the backdrop of Big Data. Solutionism, crowdfunding, self-monitoring, are all trends that Evgeny Morozov demystifies by bringing us back to reason and putting technology back to the place it should occupy: at the service of mankind. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!
