Tools And Weapons

*THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM BOOK CLUB PICK*

'A clear, compelling guide to some of the most pressing debates in technology today.' Bill Gates

'A colourful and insightful insiders' view of how technology is both empowering us and threatening us. From privacy to cyberattacks, this timely book is a useful guide for how to navigate the digital future.' Walter Isaacson, bestselling author of Steve Jobs

From Microsoft's President and one of the tech industry's wisest thinkers, a frank and thoughtful reckoning with how to balance enormous promise and existential risk as the digitization of everything accelerates. With new chapters on the pandemic and beyond.
__________

Microsoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: when your technology changes the world, you bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create.

This might seem uncontroversial, but it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. While sweeping digital transformation holds great promise, we have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weapon, and new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the future, and governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation.

In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith and Carol Ann Browne bring us a captivating narrative from the cockpit of one of the world's largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time. These are challenges that come with no pre-existing playbook, including privacy, cybercrime and cyberwar, social media, the moral conundrums of artificial intelligence, big tech's relationship to inequality, and the challenges for democracy, far and near. While in no way a self-glorifying 'Microsoft memoir,' the book pulls back the curtain remarkably wide onto some of the company's most crucial recent decision points as it strives to protect the hopes technology offers against the very real threats it also presents. There are huge ramifications for communities and countries, and Brad Smith provides a thoughtful and urgent contribution to that effort.

__________

In Tools and Weapons, Brad Smith takes us behind the scenes on some of the biggest stories to hit the tech industry in the past decade and some of the biggest threats we face. From Edward Snowden's NSA leak to the NHS WannaCry ransomware attack, this book is essential reading to understand what's happening in the world around us.

Praise for Tools and Weapons:

'The de facto ambassador for the technology industry at large.' The New York Times

'In Tools and Weapons, Brad and Carol Ann Browne wrestle with some of the world's toughest technology challenges with common sense and valuable insight reflecting their inside experience. The ideas in Tools and Weapons won't solve all our problems, but they're a very good place to start.' - Reed Hastings, CEO, Netflix

'Tools and Weapons is a glimpse behind the curtain as Microsoft reckoned with the Snowden revelations, defended against the vicious cyberattacks, and took both the Obama and Trump administrations to court.' - Rolling Stone.

The BEST thing I’ve tried for my PCOS!
Size: 60ml, Size: 60ml
I was skeptical when I started seeing TikToks of a hair removal oil! Instead of buying the expensive Cyprus oils on there I ran to Amazon to get this! I have PCOS and grow a short beard and mustache every morning. I’ve been using this for a week and while it doesn’t necessarily remove hair, it SLOWS the growth tremendously! Instead of a full beard, I’m getting a bit of stubble when I wake up. I would not put myself on blast like this if this oil wasn’t the bomb! 😭 For PCOS girlies looking for facial hair relief, this is a great start.

Be patient with the awful odor and greasy texture because it soaks in and smell dissipates
Size: 60ml
I think i'll edit this review after using consistently for a month or so, but this is my initial impression after 2 uses. First of all, the god awful stench was so off-putting that at first i thought 'there is no way i can use this. It is so disgusting and overbearing'. But it does soak in very quickly and the smell does dissipate if you can just get through it for a bit. (you will not walk around all day smelling awful). So the greasy, oily feeling initially and the awful smell does dissipate and it soaks into the skin beautifully. It is definitely worth continued use to see the results. Just be forewarned if you don't like overbearing bad smells (and i mean it smells like you fell into a pool of insect repellent), you will have to persevere.

ok as part of skin routine, but will take time to see if works
Size: 60ml
I was curious about this product because the idea of a natural product for reducing unwanted hair growth sounded appealing, but my experience was mixed at best. The oil itself feels decent on the skin and didn’t cause irritation for me, which is a plus, especially since it claims to be suitable for all skin types. That said, I did not see dramatic or fast hair-removal results, and it definitely does not work like waxing, shaving, or laser treatments. At most, it seemed like something that might help a little over time with consistent use, but the claims about reducing body hair growth felt stronger than the actual results. If you are buying this expecting a miracle product, you may be disappointed. It may be fine as part of a skincare routine, but I would keep expectations realistic.
