Summary:
"In this eye-opening, must-read book, a political insider and
tech
expert explains what's at stake for
our
tech-enabled lives and what we can do about it. Neither an industry apologist nor irrational fearmonger, Alexis Wichowski considers the unchecked rise of
tech
giants like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla -- what she calls "net states" -- and their growing and unavoidable influence in
our
lives. Combining original reporting, extensive research, and interviews with technology and government insiders, including Microsoft president Brad Smith, Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and the
world
's first ambassador to Silicon Valley, Alexis Wichowski explores what happens when we cede
our
power to
tech
giants, willingly trading
our
personal freedom and individual autonomy for an easy, plugged-in existence. Written for the tech-savvy and tech-phobic alike, The
Information
Trade
lays out
how
net states are conquering
countries
, challenging
our
rights
, and transforming
our
future. Most importantly, it shows what we can do to control
our
relationship with net states before they irreversibly alter
how
we are governed,
how
we think,
how
we act, and
how
we live."--From publisher.
