Tech offers radically changed just how we live our lives. But possess we unwittingly handed too much away to shadowy power behind a wall of code, all manipulated by a handful of Silicon Valley utopians, ad men, and venture capitalists? And, in light of recent data breach scandals around companies like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, what does which means that about THE FOLKS Vs Tech: The way the internet is certainly killing democracy (and how we save it) for democracy, our delicately well balanced system of government that was made a long time before big data, total details and artificial cleverness? In this immediate polemic, Jamie Bartlett argues that through our unquestioning accept of big tech, the inspiration of democracy are slowly being removed. The middle class has been eroded, sovereign power and civil culture is weakened, and we residents are shedding our important faculties, maybe actually our free of charge will.

THE FOLKS Vs Tech is an enthralling account of how our fragile political system has been threatened by the digital trend. Bartlett clarifies that by upholding six key pillars of democracy, we are able to save it before it really is too late. We have to become active people; uphold a shared democratic lifestyle; protect free of charge elections; promote equality; safeguard competitive and civic freedoms; and trust in a sovereign authority. This essential book demonstrates the stakes couldn’t be higher which, unless we radically alter our course, democracy will join feudalism, supreme monarchies and communism as just another political test that quietly disappeared.
