WINNER OF THE SHAUGHNESSY COHEN PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING
'Reading this book might make you wish to set fire to your smartphone, but it might also make you wish to call for reform' Margaret Atwood
How to comprehend and correct the negative impact of the internet on politics, the economy, the environment and humanity? Reset is a fast-paced, compelling expose and a rallying call for clear change.
Drawing on the cutting-edge research from Deibert's world-renowned digital security research group, Citizen Lab, he exposes the influence of the communications ecosystem on civil society. He tracks a mostly unregulated surveillance industry, innovations in technologies of remote control, superpower policing practices, dark PR firms and highly profitable hack-for-hire services feeding off rivers of poorly secured personal data. He also unearths how dependence on social media and its expanding universe of consumer electronics creates immense pressure on the natural environment.
Determined to find solutions, Deibert has written a unique, readable and forward-looking book. To combat authoritarian practices, environmental degradation and rampant electronic consumerism, he urges for very specific restraints on tech platforms and governments to reclaim the internet for civil society. It's time for us to push RESET.
