**Winner of the Transmission Prize 2019** THE OLD GODS ARE DYING.
Giant corporations collapse overnight. Newspapers are being
swallowed. Stock prices plummet with a tweet. NEW IDOLS ARE RISING
IN THEIR PLACE. More crime now happens online than offline.
Facebook has grown bigger than any state, bots battle elections,
coders write policy, and algorithms shape our lives in more ways
than we can imagine. The Death of the Gods is an exploration of
power in the digital age, and a journey in search of the new
centres of control. From a cyber-crime raid in British suburbia to
the engine rooms of Silicon Valley, pioneering technology
researcher Carl Miller traces how power is being transformed,
fought over, lost and won. 'A timely and incisive book that
grapples with some of the most significant issues of our time.'
Wired 'Uncovers the fascinating and often hidden characters that
are changing the world. Essential reading.' Jamie Bartlett, author
of The People vs Tech 'A magisterial guide to the impact of the
digital revolution on our institutions and our lives.' Anthony
