Publisher Description
The reign of Big Tech is here, and Americans’ First Amendment rights hang by a keystroke.
Amassing unimaginable amounts of personal data, giants like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple—once symbols of American ingenuity and freedom—have become a techno-oligarchy with overwhelming economic and political power.
Decades of unchecked data collection have given Big Tech more targeted control over Americans’ daily lives than any company or government in the world. In The Tyranny of Big Tech, Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri argues that these mega-corporations—controlled by the robber barons of the modern era—are the gravest threat to American liberty in decades.
To reverse course, Hawley argues, we must correct progressives’ mistakes of the past. That means recovering the link between liberty and democratic participation, building an economy that makes the working class strong, independent, and beholden to no one, and curbing the influence of corporate and political elites.
Big Tech and its allies do not deal gently with those who cross them, and Senator Hawley proudly bears his own battle scars. But hubris is dangerous. The time is ripe to overcome the tyranny of Big Tech by reshaping the business and legal landscape of the digital world.
Customer Reviews
I never knew how Evil Big tech was
This book exposes how big tech has been able to manipulate everyday Americans for years. Big tech does not see its users as customers but cattle. It’s disgusting how so many elected officials in our government aided the evil of big tech. BEWARE BIG TECH! YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT!
Outstanding!
This is a “30,000 foot” look at what’s truly happening to our wonderful country. It’s clear and concise and is encouraging because America has dealt with tyranny in the past (the Robber Barons) and survived. It’s a big challenge but we are Americans,
A welcomed voice of reason
Hawley has first hand knowledge of the power of big tech and its stranglehold on America. We need voices like his to call out and attempt to reign in their power.
