You simply must read it. – Tim Harford, author of The Data DetectiveBig Tech does not just plunder your data. It does not merely rob you of your privacy. It does something far, far worse than that.

Once you do, you will know and, more importantly, you will stand a better chance of resisting – Yanis Varoufakis, author of Technofeudalism
