Thank you for registering your attendance at The S T Lee Public Policy Lecture, which takes place next Monday 11 November in Cambridge, we are delighted you will join us. The lecture will start promptly at 5:30pm, so please arrive in time to take your seat before the start.
Over the past decades, under the cover of “innovation”, technology companies have successfully resisted regulation and begun to seize power from governments themselves. In The Tech Coup, Marietje Schaake offers a behind-the-scenes account of how technology companies crept into nearly every corner of our lives and our governments. Going beyond the headlines to high-stakes meetings with human rights defenders, business leaders, computer scientists, and politicians, Schaake shows how technologies from social media to artificial intelligence have gone from being heralded as utopian to undermining the pillars of our democracies.
