Reviews
Everyone talks about the dangers, but almost no one is suggesting what to do about them. That makes The Digital Republic a welcome arrival. Susskind does an excellent job of diagnosing the problems and offers an array of well-constructed solutions. They are the most important part of the book. Susskind is a keen observer. His intelligent book is a valuable guide., This is the book America needs now. Susskind thinks deeply, and writes with powerful clarity, about how technology is reshaping society and what we should do about it., A deeply engaging and thought-provoking book which should be read by everyone (including those with no technical knowledge) who wants to understand how AI can affect our lives, and how we could rise to the challenges this presents.

Synopsis
From one of the leading intellectuals of the digital age, The Digital Republic is the definitive guide to the great political question of our time: how can freedom and democracy survive in a world of powerful digital technologies? A Financial Times "Book to Read" in 2022 Not long ago, the tech industry was widely admired, and the internet was regarded as a tonic for freedom and democracy. Not anymore. Every day, the headlines blaze with reports of racist algorithms, data leaks, and social media platforms festering with falsehood and hate. In The Digital Republic , acclaimed author Jamie Susskind argues that these problems are not the fault of a few bad apples at the top of the industry. They are the result of our failure to govern technology properly. The Digital Republic charts a new course. It offers a plan for the digital age: new legal standards, new public bodies and institutions, new duties on platforms, new rights and regulators, new codes of conduct for people in the tech industry. Inspired by the great political essays of the past, and steeped in the traditions of republican thought, it offers a vision of a different type of society: a digital republic in which human and technological flourishing go hand in hand., A groundbreaking blueprint on addressing the unaccountable power of digital technology by one of the most promising and cogent voices in law and public policy. The time has come to deal with the unaccountable power of digital technology. Early efforts at regulation have been confused, contradictory, and often counterproductive. Yet no single person or government has a plan of action. In The Digital Republic , acclaimed author and barrister Jamie Susskind tackles one of the biggest political and social questions of our time. He explores how developments in AI, big data, social media, and other technologies are having a profound effect on politics--and what that means for our societies. The Digital Republic is a call for political change, touching on the deepest issues of who we are and what we value most. He takes readers on a journey through a new system of ideas and governance--a digital republic--offering a vision of a world that is freer and fairer than our own. With a truly global outlook, Jamie's work is steeped in the tradition of republican thought, from ancient Greece and Rome to revolutionary France, illuminated by the most charismatic thinkers and ideas in European political history. Inspired by the great political essays of the past, from Rousseau's Social Contract , Mill's On Liberty , and Hamilton and Madison's Federalist Papers, The Digital Republic is a landmark work that will challenge us as we look toward the future.
