Reviews
"The most interesting exploration yet of the political realities in the digital era." - Matthew d''Ancona, Books of the Year 2018, Evening Standard "He steers a course to the future that is as convincing as it is shocking. " - Bryan Appleyard, The Sunday Times "An impressive feat of intellectual organization... To have written it all down so lucidly, engagingly and succinctly is a formidable achievement." - Raphael Behr, The Guardian "A work of clarity and effortless genius which is a must for anybody seeking to understand the impact of modern technology on our body politic now and in the future." - Robert Rinder, Evening Standard "[Susskind] has tremendous talent and the book is very readable. " - Tim Stanley, The Telegraph "The tone of this book is as refreshing as the originality of insight. Susskind contends that ''that there are causes for both optimism and pessimism, but what the future requires above all is vigilance.''" - Paschal Donohoe, The Irish Times "Future Politics is a riveting book that sparkles with great ideas... It is chock full of facts and the book combines knowledge of politics and technology in a unique and fascinating way." - Catherine Balavage, Frost "Superb and necessary book." - Nick Cohen, The Observer "Future Politics should be essential reading for those with the will to anticipate the future challenges facing defence and society." - Wavell Room "Brilliant... detailed research, colourful examples, and a pacy, upbeat style... Future Politics will remain relevant for several years. All elected officials should read it as a matter of urgency." - Jamie Bartlett, Catholic Herald "Future Politics challenges readers to rethink what it means to be free or equal, what it means to have power or property, what it means for a political system to be just or democratic, and proposes ways in which we can - and must - regain control. This is no less than a call for a fundamental change in the way we think about politics. " - Dominic Lenton, Engineering & Technology "...rigorous and thoughtful book... " - David Patrikarakos, Literary Review "Brilliant and ground-breaking ... It is essential reading for anyone who wants to get to grips with the profound and far-reaching impacts of digital technology on politics." -- Paradigm Explorer "Original and thought-provoking, this ground-breaking book challenges us to develop new policies for new times." - Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, 2007-2010 "This book crackles with ideas, sparking new thoughts with every page. And it is superbly organised, too. It''s difficult to help people understand the past, but to help understand the future is a real achievement. Terrific. " - Lord Finkelstein, Associate Editor, The Times "From Arendt to artificial intelligence, from Machiavelli to machine learning, Susskind seamlessly weaves modern technology with classic theory to present a tour de force introduction to the future-explaining with erudition and humor the powerful digital systems that will govern our lives. " - Beth Simone Noveck, Professor in Technology, Culture and Society, New York University Tandon School of Engineering "Only an elite can control the power of computation, dispersed in space, integrated in the cloud, and enabled to operate on ever bigger data. What are the implications for freedom, democracy, and justice? Jamie Susskind offers a pathbreaking exploration of the challenge that these issues pose for our political thinking and practice. It''s a must-read. " - Philip Pettit, L. S. Rockefeller University Professor of Politics and Human Values, Princeton University, and Distinguished University Professor of Philosophy, Australian National University "This brilliant and ground-breaking book EL is essential reading for anyone who wants to get to grips with the profound and far-reaching impacts of digital technology on politics." - David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer, Few understand politics. Even fewer understand technology. Susskind is that rare soul who understands both - and more importantly, how the latter will change the former. Whether correct or not - and I believe he is correct - there is no better glimpse into our shared future than this book., "The most interesting exploration yet of the political realities in the digital era." - Matthew d'Ancona, Books of the Year 2018, Evening Standard "He steers a course to the future that is as convincing as it is shocking.

Synopsis
Politics in the Twentieth Century was dominated by a single question: how much of our collective life should be determined by the state, and what should be left to the market and civil society?Now the debate is different: to what extent should our lives be directed and controlled by powerful digital systems - and on what terms?Digital technologies - from artificial intelligence to blockchain, from robotics to virtual reality - are transforming the way we live together. Those who control the most powerful technologies are increasingly able to control the rest of us. As time goes on, these powerful entities - usually big tech firms and the state - will set the limits of our liberty, decreeing what may be done and what is forbidden. Their algorithms will determine vital questions of social justice. In their hands, democracy will flourish or decay.A landmark work of political theory, Future Politics challenges readers to rethink what it means to be free or equal, what it means to have power or property, and what it means for a political system to be just or democratic. In a time of rapid and relentless changes, it is a book about how we can - and must - regain control.Winner of the Estoril Global Issues Distinguished Book Prize., Future Politics confronts the most important question of our time: how will digital technology change society?, Politics in the Twentieth Century was dominated by a single question: how much of our collective life should be determined by the state, and what should be left to the market and civil society?
