How to Fix the Future (Staying Human in the Digital Age) - Andrew Keen

Andrew Keen, 'the Christopher Hitchens of the internet', describes his urgent worldwide search for ways in which humanity can protect itself from the dark side of the digital future. In How to Fix the Future, Andrew Keen combines his experiences in Silicon Valley with extensive interviews and analysis to identify the strategies we need in order to tackle the huge challenges of this digital century. This ground-breaking book is the result of extensive travels around the world, from India to Estonia, Germany to Singapore. He examines the best (and worst) practices in five key areas - competition, innovation, oversight, self-regulation and social responsibility - and concludes by examining whether we are seeing the beginning of the end of the America-centric digital world. Throughout he shows that the stakes could not be higher: how can we remain human in an age of digital machines?
