Description - Which Side of History?: How Technology Is Reshaping Democracy and Our Lives by James P. Steyer
Bound to spark a major national discussion, Which Side of History? offers a collection of over 30 bold essays on how technology is affecting our democracy, society, and our future. Prominent national voices such as Marc Benioff, Mike Bloomberg, Thomas Friedman, Kara Swisher, Aaron Sorkin, Khaled Hosseini, Sacha Baron Cohen, Ken Auletta, Ellen Pao, Chelsea Clinton, Tim Wu, Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, Jaron Lanier, Willow Bay, Sal Khan, Sherry Turkle, and many more will challenge opinion leaders and the broader public to take action to improve technology’s effects on our lives. The essays will focus on the extraordinary impact of technology on our democracy, our privacy, kids and families, race and gender roles, climate change, and mental health. Some will explore the ethical behaviour of Big Tech, or the lack thereof. With the rise of cyberbullying and hate speech online, issues around climate change and technology, and the 'move fast and break things' mentality of tech culture, Which Side of History? will urge readers to draw the line. Offering roadmaps for constructive change and thought-provoking perspectives, this timely book will help shape the conversations we have around technology in our society, and our future for years to come.
