That's the first thing you need to know in this book. Nearly every paragraph has a source, and everything is well-reasoned. Unlike other books, Bartlett does not attempt to proselytise at you, but instead gives you his opinions and information in an accessible way that allows you to come to your own conclusion - although you probably would agree with him if you're the kind of person who would read this book anyway. His central premise is that the Big Five (Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple) have unilateral oligopoly-esque power of their respective industries, and are not abusing them as such, but - in his words - "non-choice is still a choice". This book was published only a month ago, and was weirdly prescient about the role of Cambridge Analytica in the US elections. Bartlett gives insight into several ideas he has about the erosion of democracy by Big Tech and AI, and does so affectively - I found myself nodding in agreement throughout the book! To conclude, if you want to know how the world will look twenty minutes into the future, this is the book for you. And trust me, it's a relaxed but uncomfortable read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

From the bestselling author of The Dark Net comes a book that explains all the dangers of the digital revolution and offers concrete solutions on how we can protect our personal privacy, and democracy itself. The internet was meant to set us free. But have we unwittingly handed too much away to shadowy powers behind a wall of code, all manipulated by a handful of Silicon Valley utopians, ad men, and venture capitalists? And, in light of recent data breach scandals around companies like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, what does that mean for democracy, our delicately balanced system of government that was created long before big data, total information, and artificial intelligence? In this urgent polemic, Jamie Bartlett argues that through our unquestioning embrace of big tech, the building blocks of democracy are slowly being removed. The middle class is being eroded, sovereign authority and civil society is weakened, and we citizens are losing our critical faculties, maybe even our free will. The People Vs Tech is an enthralling account of how our fragile political system is being threatened by the digital revolution. Bartlett explains that by upholding six key pillars of democracy, we can save it before it is too late. We need to become active citizens, uphold a shared democratic culture, protect free elections, promote equality, safeguard competitive and civic freedoms, and trust in a sovereign authority. This essential book shows that the stakes couldn't be higher and that, unless we radically alter our course, democracy will join feudalism, supreme monarchies and communism as just another political experiment that quietly disappeared.
