Description
Silicon Valley has followed through on its promise to change the world on a vast scale--not necessarily for the better. This collection of essays examines critical issues surrounding technology and presents the reflections, warnings, and recommendations of some of the most influential thought leaders of our time. The contributors bring a unique perspective on the extraordinary impact of technology on privacy, kids and families, race and gender roles, democracy, climate change, and mental health, and they explore the ethics of Big Tech’s behavior and offer roadmaps for constructive change. --,Adapted from back cover.
Description
"A collection of 20-25 essays from prominent voices that brings forward creative, bold opinions that will examine the current state and impact of technology on our society and will highlight solutions for constructive change. Sample topics may include: 1) the impact of technology on elections and global democratic institutions; 2) the evisceration of longstanding privacy norms and standards; 3) the impact of technology on kids and teenagers; 4) the rise of cyberbullying and hate speech and how to address these challenges; and, 5) the libertarian ethos that often prizes a "move fast and break things" mentality and its relationship to the Silicon Valley culture bubble"--,Provided by publisher.
