Nick Clegg, formerly one of Meta’s most senior executives, presents a blueprint for reforming Big Tech while preserving the essential openness of the internet
‘Warns of the dangers posed to a free and open global internet by an age of autocrats and a titanic power struggle over AI’ Guardian
As democracies seek to curb the power of Big Tech, as authoritarian regimes like China and Russia isolate their populations from the internet, and as the AI race supercharges divisions between competing nations, the most powerful tool for bringing us together risks being dismantled.
Taking us behind the scenes at Meta, and drawing on his unique experience on the world stage of both tech and politics, Nick Clegg sets out where Big Tech has gone wrong and the radical reforms that are needed if global platforms are to ensure their long-term future.
But he also shows that many of the charges against them are overstated or simply untrue, and presents a blueprint for the international cooperation that is needed if we are to preserve what makes them so vital to our future: their potential to empower and improve billions of lives.
Radical, reasonable, deeply felt and disarmingly honest, How To Save the Internet reminds us how much we stand to lose on our current path – and how much we might yet gain from a global, open internet.
