Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A penetrating indictment of how today's largest tech companies are hijacking our data, our livelihoods, our social fabric, and our mindsfrom an acclaimed Financial Times columnist and CNN analyst WINNER OF THE PORCHLIGHT BUSINESS BOOK AWARDONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Foreign Affairs, Evening Standard"Don't be evil" was enshrined as Google's original corporate mantra back in its early days, when the company's cheerful logo still conveyed the utopian vision for a future in which technology would inevitably make the world better, safer, and more prosperous.Unfortunately, it's been quite a while since Google, or the majority of the Big Tech companies, lived up to this founding philosophy.

But this whip-smart, highly readable book's scope turns out to be much broader. Worried about the monopolistic tendencies of big tech The addictive apps on your iPhone The role Facebook played in Donald Trump's election Foroohar will leave you even more worried, but a lot better informed."Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford, and author of The Square and the Tower.…
