Rebecca Lemov reports on Harvard psychologist Bert Kaplan who set out to build the largest database of sociological information ever assembled. It was the mid-1950s, just before the dawn of the digital age (and the later big data projects). Kaplan, along with anthropologist A. I. Hallowell and a team of researchers, gathered research from a varied range of non-European subjects among remote and largely non-literate peoples around the world. Kaplan saw future researchers using the data through the cutting-edge Readex machine. However, technological developments and the obsolescence of the theoretical framework rendered the project irrelevant, and soon it was forgotten. The database was intended as a repository of humankind’s most elusive ways of being human, that is, an anthropological archive. This is a book about those encounters between scientists and subjects, between knowledge and machines - as well as the data that flowed out of them and the ways these were preserved or not preserved.

Unless we exercise deliberate moral choice over the design and use of technologies, we doom ourselves to a future that tramples human values, renders social structures chaotic and destroys rather than enhances freedom.

They are concerned about moral ambiguities created by electronic media. Violent images in games and TV are as toxic as many observers have feared by stimulating destructive ideas and troubling aggression. However, they argue that in fact some screen time can enrich creativity and play, and can even promote school readiness (provided not excessive). With guidance from parents and teachers, empathy and creativity can expand and intensify in the electronic age. Dorothy Singer is Senior Research Scientist in Psychology at Yale University. .

Sydney: Hachette Australia. 340 pp. Paperback octavo, very good condition, colour & black & white photos centre spread, corner rear cover little creased, minor edgewear. Frank Walker records a shocking and chilling account - with the fallout ongoing - that during the 1950s to 1960s, with the blessing of Prime Minister Robert Menzies, the British government used Australia as its nuclear laboratory. They exploded 12 atomic bombs on Australian soil - at the Monte Bello (Montebello) Islands, Emu Field and Maralinga. About 16,000 Australian servicemen were guinea pigs. RAAF pilots were ordered to fly into nuclear mushroom clouds, soldiers told to walk into radioactive ground zero, sailors retrieved highly contaminated debris - none being aware of the dangers faced. But the betrayal didn't end with our soldiers. Secret monitoring stations were set up around the continent to measure radiation levels and a clandestine decades-long project stole bones from dead babies to see how much fallout had contaminated their small bodies - and their grieving parents were never told.

Tim Wu defines an attention merchant as a firm whose business model is the mass capture of attention for resale to advertisers. In the modern digital world, we face an overwhelming barrage of advertising enticements, branding efforts, sponsored social media, commercials and other efforts to harvest our attention. This contributes to the distracted, unfocused tenor of our times.

From the pre-Madison Avenue birth of advertising to TV's golden age, to our present age of radical individualised choices, the business model of attention merchants has always been the same.
