From acclaimed Financial Times columnist and CNN analyst Rana Foroohar, comes this penetrating indictment of how today's biggest tech companies are hijacking our data, our livelihoods, and our minds.
Today Google and Facebook receive 90% of the world's news ad-spending. Amazon takes half of all e-commerce in the US. Google and Apple operating systems run on all but 1% of cell phones globally. And 80% of corporate wealth is now held by 10% of companies - not the GEs and Toyotas of this world, but the digital titans.
How did we get here? How did the tech industry get to dominate our world so completely? How did once-idealistic and innovative companies come to manipulate elections, violate our privacy, and pose a threat to the fabric of our democracy? In Don't Be Evil, Financial Times global business columnist Rana Foroohar documents how Big Tech lost its soul - and became the new Wall Street.
Through her skilled reporting and unparalleled access - won through nearly 30 years covering business and technology - she shows the true extent to which the 'Faang's (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google) crush or absorb any potential competitors, hijack our personal data and mental space and offshore their exorbitant profits. What's more, she reveals how these threats to our democracies, our livelihoods and our minds are all intertwined. Yet Foroohar also lays out a plan for how we can resist, creating a framework that fosters innovation while also protecting us from the dark side of digital technology.

Ignition reveals the proven 10 stage blueprint that has created
semi-automated six-figure-per-year online businesses from zero all
over the world. This same blueprint has changed the lives of
average people who had nothing to sell, no idea what niche or topic
to go into, and no existing authority status, audience or
following... "I'm at about $10k/month using what you helped me to
develop." - Jason Hornung. "Our course sales for June were
$41,000... on about $2500 in expenses." - Todd Groskreutz. "Just
about 2 weeks in I've had my first $100 day, then a month in I had
my first $300 day, 5 months in we did $5200, and just last month we
did over $12,450 - and it's all due to James and his coaching." -
Seth Johnson. "I made my first $1500 in 30 days because of his
program. What he teaches works. Do exactly what he says, and you'll
be surprised at the results you'll actually get in your business."
- Isaiah Jackson. Also starting from zero back in 2008 while
working at a grocery store, James Francis has gone on to make over
$2.6 million in sales of online products and services, from his
laptop at home, while working only a few hours a day, living his
dream lifestyle, and actually helping people around the world.
