Description
Who Owns the Future? by Jaron Lanier explores the impact of digital network technologies on our economy and society. The author argues that these networks have led to the concentration of money and power, imperiling personal privacy and hollowing out the middle class.
Lanier contends that Siren Servers, which exploit big data and free sharing of information, are a major contributor to this problem. However, he also charts a path toward a brighter future: an information economy that rewards ordinary people for what they do on the web.
This book is a visionary reckoning with the most urgent economic and social trend of our age. It offers a thought-provoking analysis of how technology will transform our humanity and presents a compelling alternative to the current state of affairs.
