Jaron Lanier, tech guru and thought leader of the internet, presents ten compelling reasons why we need to quit social media. Facebook, Google, and others monitor us, manipulate our behavior, make politics impossible, and turn us into unpleasant, argumentative people. Social media has become an omnipresent cage from which we cannot escape. Lanier has written a thought-provoking book that shares his insights as an insider of Silicon Valley and encourages readers to rethink their behavior on social networks. If we do not want to lose the battle against the madness of our time, we have only one option: delete all our accounts! A book that everyone who navigates the web should read.
