Description
The Tech Coup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley A behind-the-scenes account of how technology companies have become a forceful instrument for autocrats around the world, undermining the pillars of our democracies. Marietje Schaake takes us on a journey to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians to show how technologies have gone from being heralded as utopian to having a profound impact on our digital world. Schaake outlines game-changing solutions to empower elected officials and citizens alike, drawing on her experiences in the halls of the European Parliament and among Silicon Valley insiders. This book offers a clear-eyed view of our modern tech-obsessed world and a vision for how democracies can build a better future before it is too late.
