The People Vs Tech: How the internet is killing democracy (and how we save it) : Bartlett, Jamie: desertcart.in: Books

Review: Indians should read this . - This is a brilliant book . Around the world , we could see Democratic states being turned to a totalitarian states. Technology and Social Media have destroyed Democratic Values and Culture . People tend to believe what they see on internet without verifying . This is dangerous. Another thing is that , it’s unsafe to share private information on social media . Can we really trust them ?
Review: True analysis of relation b/w Technology(Internet/apps/social media) & Democracy. - Remarkable analysis by Jamie Bartlett .I must confess that this book has transformed my thoughts on effects of Technology(Internet/apps/ social media). Earlier I used to think in small shell of benefits of technology but with this book my understanding of technology has widened a lot.Author has brilliantly covered how tech giants/ silicon valley barons have created monopolies & actually looting us which in turn causing widened inequality in world.This is not a healthy thing for democracy to thrive.The book is divided into 6 chapters in which author logically presents the designs of big tech giants.He has brilliantly covered the concept that how these tech giants though call for freedom of expression ,are actually one who believes in supression or stealing of information. Author has judiciously covered about deteriorating relation between technology and democracies.Contrary to popular belief that technology will bring more decentralisation, it had caused over centralisation & monopoly. A chapter on how some followers of crypto anarchy could cause embarrassement for the governments.In the epilogue, author gives 20 ideas to save democracy in this age. My reviews for desertcart customers: LIKES : 1) logical flow of information. 2) easy and perfect examples to present the complicated issues. 3) Contains interviews & statements of good numbers of tech giants. 4) Facts & datas with numbers. DISLIKES: 1) Expected more chapters with wide coverage. 2) Sometimes book becomes monotonous in some chapters. 3) Not hard cover. 4) No pictures.
