An electrifying, thought-provoking exploration of how the digital era is reshaping our world, by bestselling, Women's Prize-winning writer Naomi Alderman'Alderman is one of our most surprising and delightful public intellectuals, and this book grapples wonderfully with our current schisms and their historical precedents' JON RONSON'Alderman helps us see the digital information crisis with fresh eyes, sharing profound wisdom and showing us how to avoid sacrificing our humanity for the sake of being right on the internet' OLIVER BURKEMANWhat’s the most useful thing you could know about your own life?In this era-defining book, developed from her groundbreaking Radio 4 essay series, Naomi Alderman turns her boundless curiosity and incisive thinking to a question that affects us all: how do we understand, and navigate, the epoch we’re living through? She calls this epoch the Information Crisis.

The internet has flooded us with more knowledge, opinions, ideas, opportunities, as well as verbal attacks and misinformation, than ever before. It lets us learn more quickly and also spread falsehood more quickly, it brings us together and also divides us in new ways, it is now the lens through which we perceive and understand the world. There is no going back. But we have been here before. In fact, this is humanity’s third information crisis.

The first, the invention of writing 5,000 years ago, and the second, the invention of the printing press 600 years ago, drastically reshaped our perceptions, interactions and mental landscapes in ways that feel acutely familiar. Overwhelmed by information, people become afraid and angry, unsettled and distressed, as well as more knowledgeable, educated and curious. By looking at those previous information crises, both the turmoil and the advances, Alderman asks what we can learn from the past to better understand our present, and prepare for our future.

Drawing on the work of philosophers and historians, Don’t Burn Anyone at the Stake Today explores how new technology opens up new ways of being and helps us chart a way forward (once again), through the turbulent seas of information overload.

Affordable
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1)
These patches are a good value for the price and work as expected. They stick pretty well and are relatively discreet on the skin. They don’t perform miracles overnight, but they do help keep the area clean and protected. I usually notice improvement after a couple of days. My only real complaint is that I wish the small size was just a bit larger. Overall, solid and affordable option.

INVISIBLE
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1), Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1)
These are basically invisible so you can wear them during the day! And they actually work! Incredibly thin so I use tweezers to apply them. Have been so great for my hormonal acne during pregnancy. Highly recommend!!

Adheres well, nearly invisible
Model: Hydrocolloid, Size: 102 Count (Pack of 1)
I enjoy how clear, invisible and thin this is on. It compares to the one I bought in Japan that I liked. It’s fairly effective as well and adheres on the skin well. I always try to remove excess product on the surface of the area though. I like the protective film and easy peel sheets and that there’s two sizes available in packet!
