In the new world order, data is the new oil. Big Tech grabs our most basic natural resources - our data - exploiting our labour and connections, and repackaging our information to control our views, track our movements, record our conversations and discriminate against us. Every time we unthinkingly click 'Accept' on Terms and Conditions, we allow our most personal information to kept indefinitely, repackaged by Big Tech companies to control and exploit us for their own profit. In this searing, cutting-edge guide, two leading researchers reveal how history can help us both to understand the emerging future and to fight back.
