Description

The legal and social choices we have to make right now will determine our future, which is why we have to recognize what aspects of social media and big tech platforms like Google and WhatsApp need to be fixed... and what needs to be saved. Author Mike Godwin gives you the answers you need--the decisions before us aren't always easy, but we can all take the right path by understanding the technologies, our own history with mass media, and the people using both to their advantage. No matter what, it's all coming fast. This book will make you ready for what lies ahead.
