A TIMES BEST CURRENT AFFAIRS BOOK OF THE YEAR The award-winning
Financial Times columnist exposes the threat that Big Tech poses to
our democracies, our economies and ourselves 'Powerful' Sunday
Times Google and Facebook receive 90% of the world's news
advertising spend. 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 - the digital titans. How did these once-idealistic and
innovative companies come to manipulate elections, violate our
privacy and pose a threat to the fabric of our democracy? Through
her skilled reporting and unparalleled access, Rana Foroohar
reveals the true extent to which the 'FAANG's (Facebook, Apple,
Amazon, Netflix and Google) crush or absorb competitors, hijack our
personal data and mental space and offshore their exorbitant
profits. What's more, she shows how these threats to our
democracies, livelihoods and minds are all intertwined. Yet
Foroohar also lays out a plan for how we can resist, creating a
framework that fosters innovation while protecting us from the dark
side of digital technology. 'A masterful critique' Observer
'Insightful and powerfully argued' Daily Mail 'Essential reading
... whip-smart' Niall Ferguson 'Laser vision and trenchant business
analysis' Shoshana Zuboff
