"In their 'deliberately short book' IT analysts, management
consultants and technology practitioners Roehrig and Pring explore
how big a beast technology has become, and how we can tame it to
maintain our freedom and privacy while still realising its
benefits. The pandemic has shown just how much we rely on
technology and how addictive it has become...The authors address
the important questions...[and] urge us not to slay the monster but
rather to leverage its power and reorient technology as a tool for
good." --Financial Times Monster explains how we can responsibly
engage with technology, and avoid its darker tendencies, while
accepting its necessary gifts. The authors, insiders at one of the
world's largest tech consulting firms, give a unique take on: The
addictive nature of tech and how to fight it The growing backlash
against big tech--where it's right and what it misses Crucial steps
for taming technology's role in your life and in your
organization--without becoming a modern Luddite Written for
managers, leaders, and employees at companies of all sizes and in
all industries, Monster will help you understand and take control
of technology's powerful role in your life and your organization.
