Democracy Hacked: How Technology Is Destabilising Global Politics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781786075758)

Technology has fractured democracy, and now there's no going back.

All around the world, the fringes have stormed the palace of the elites and unleashed data miners, dark ads and bots on an unwitting public. After years of soundbites about connecting people, the social media giants are only just beginning to admit to the scale of the problem.

We stand on the precipice of an era where switching your mobile platform will have more impact on your life than switching your government. Where freedom and privacy are seen as incompatible with social well-being and transparency. Where your attention is sold to the highest bidder.

Our laws don't cover what is happening and our politicians don't understand it. But if we don't fight to change the system now, we may not get another chance.
