A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK TO READ
_______________

‘Original and hopeful . . . a unique guide to the great challenges of the digital age’ – ANNE APPLEBAUM
‘Lucid and persuasive’ – NIALL FERGUSON
_______________

The Digital Republic is the definitive guide to the great political question of our time: how can freedom and democracy survive in a world of powerful digital technologies?

Not long ago, the tech industry was widely admired and the internet was regarded as a tonic for freedom and democracy. Not anymore. Every day, the headlines blaze with reports of racist algorithms, data leaks, and social media platforms festering with falsehood and hate. In The Digital Republic, acclaimed author Jamie Susskind argues that these problems are not the fault of a few bad apples at the top of the industry. They are the result of our failure to govern technology properly, a failure derived from decades of muddled ideas and wishful thinking.

The Digital Republic charts a new course, with new legal standards, new public bodies and institutions, new duties on platforms, new rights and regulators, and new codes of conduct for people in the tech industry. Inspired by the great political essays of the past, and steeped in the traditions of republican thought, it offers a vision of a different type of society: a digital republic in which human and technological flourishing go hand in hand.©2022 Jamie Susskind (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Recht Technik

Kritikerstimmen

Jamie Susskind’s big book is a welcome arrival on the scene . . . The most refreshing thing about this fine book is its ideological stance . . . It’s time for a change, and The Digital Republic is a good place to start
Jamie Susskind has established himself as one of the foremost thinkers on the transformative impact of the technology revolution. The Digital Republic is as innovative in its ideas as it is sharp with its analysis, offering an important contribution to the future of technology regulation while bridging the gap between changemakers and policymakers (Tony Blair)
A deeply engaging and thought-provoking book which should be read by everyone (including those with no technical knowledge) who wants to understand how AI can affect our lives, and how we could rise to the challenges this presents (Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, President of the UK Supreme Court (2012-2017))
In the shadow of algorithmic discrimination, Big Tech's overarching power, and menacing cyberwarfare, Susskind offers an alternative, enticing and convincing in equal parts: digital republicanism. I am sold. Read this book (Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, co-author of BIG DATA and FRAMERS)
The sprawling power of tech giants is one of the biggest, most complex and urgent challenges facing modern democracy. It takes rare clarity, focus and intellectual discipline to address the issue as lucidly and practically as Jamie Susskind has done in The Digital Republic (Rafael Behr)
What to do with Big Tech is one of the enduring questions of today. In The Digital Republic, Jamie Susskind argues that it is time to deal with ‘the unaccountable power of digital technology’ and offers a primer of how law and governance could be harnessed to reshape Big Tech
This is the book America needs now. Susskind thinks deeply, and writes with powerful clarity, about how technology is reshaping society and what we should do about it (Bruce Schneier, author of CLICK HERE TO KILL EVERYBODY)
The Digital Republic highlights what is at stake amidst digital disruption: the very foundations of our open, rules-based democracies. By focusing back on core principles such as legitimacy, accountability and countervailing powers, Susskind finds inspiration to secure what should not be disrupted, and reimagines the role of laws in a digitized, global context (Marietje Schaake, international policy director at Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center)
The digital revolution threatens to overturn democracy. But we can still do something about it. This book is the blueprint, philosophical and practical, on how to remake our online society to make sure democracy prevails (Peter Pomerantsev, author of THIS IS NOT PROPAGANDA)

Anyone who agrees with the assumption that "data is the new oil" should definitely have read this book. In "The Digital Republic" Jamie Susskind describes how and why our digital lives primarily follow the rules of a few big tech companies. He makes a very convincing and detailed case for why we urgently need to rethink and finally, as citizens and not users, define clear rules for our digital democracies and thus our future, beyond commercial interests. An excellent and very timely inspiration that belongs on the desks of all decision makers in the democratic world who are seriously considering how we need to make our open societies digitally resilient.

A book with a long-term effect for our digital future
