Don't be evil - Rana Foroohar

An award-winning Financial Times columnist exposes the threat that Big Tech poses to our
democracies, our economies and ourselves

Today Google and Facebook receive 90% of the world's news ad-spending.
Amazon takes half of all ecommerce in the US. Google and Apple operating
systems run on all but 1% of cell phones globally. And 80% of corporate
wealth is now held by 10% of companies - not the GEs and Toyotas of
this world, but the digital titans.

How did we get here? How did the
tech industry get to dominate our world so completely? How did
once-idealistic and innovative companies come to manipulate elections,
violate our privacy, and pose a threat to the fabric of our democracy?
In Don't Be Evil, Financial Times global business columnist Rana Foroohar documents how Big Tech lost its soul - and became the new Wall Street.

Through
her skilled reporting and unparalleled access - won through nearly 30
years covering business and technology - she shows the true extent to
which the 'Faang's (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google) crush
or absorb any potential competitors, hijack our personal data and mental
space and offshore their exorbitant profits. What's more, she reveals
how these threats to our democracies, our livelihoods and our minds are
all intertwined. Yet Foroohar also lays out a plan for how we can
resist, creating a framework that fosters innovation while also
protecting us from the dark side of digital technology.
