Free Is Bad TLDR

Ad tech pays for everything that’s free online. Email, search, games, news, entertainment. It’s caused countless problems and we just want a way out of the mess.

In just 80 pages this book contains the essential knowledge to understand the problem, and fix your own online life. The original Free Is Bad contains more detailed explanations of the history and business decisions made by the tech giants that led us to the fix we’re in. That’s nice for nerds but I recognize that busy people want to get the maximum knowledge in the minimum time. I created this edition for you.

There’s 6 chapters that cover the most common online tools: search, email, browsing the web, smartphones, social media and news. Each one has practical advice for how you can escape the negative impact of big tech and online ads.

You’ll enjoy the return to sanity.
