A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK TO READ IN 2022 'One of the foremost
thinkers on the transformative impact of the technology revolution'
TONY BLAIR 'Original and hopeful, The Digital Republic provides a
unique guide to the great challenges of the digital age' ANNE
APPLEBAUM 'Lucid and persuasive' NIALL FERGUSON The Digital
Republic is the definitive guide to the great political question of
our time: how can freedom and democracy survive in a world of
powerful digital technologies? Not long ago, the tech industry was
widely admired and the internet was regarded as a tonic for freedom
and democracy. Not anymore. Every day, the headlines blaze with
reports of racist algorithms, data leaks, and social media
platforms festering with falsehood and hate. In The Digital
Republic, acclaimed author Jamie Susskind argues that these
problems are not the fault of a few bad apples at the top of the
industry. They are the result of our failure to govern technology
properly, a failure derived from decades of muddled ideas and
wishful thinking. The Digital Republic charts a new course, with
new legal standards, new public bodies and institutions, new duties
on platforms, new rights and regulators, and new codes of conduct
for people in the tech industry. Inspired by the great political
essays of the past, and steeped in the traditions of republican
thought, it offers a vision of a different type of society: a
digital republic in which human and technological flourishing go
hand in hand.
