About this listen
Which Side of History? offers a collection of bold essays on how technology is affecting democracy, society, and our future.
Featuring prominent national voices such as Sacha Baron Cohen, Marc Benioff, Ellen Pao, Ken Auletta, Chelsea Clinton, Tim Wu, Khaled Hosseini, Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, Jaron Lanier, Willow Bay, Sal Khan, Sherry Turkle, Shoshana Zuboff, Vivek Murthy, Geoffrey Canada, and many more.
The essays focus on the extraordinary impact of technology on our privacy, kids and families, race and gender roles, democracy, climate change, and mental health.
This groundbreaking audiobook challenges opinion leaders and the broader public to take action to improve technology's effects on our lives.
With the rise of cyberbullying and hate speech online, issues around climate change and technology, and the "move fast and break things" mentality of tech culture, Which Side of History? will urge readers to draw the line.
- This book will help shape the conversations we have around technology in our society and our future for years to come.
- A smart gift for anyone who approaches tech and the future with a healthy skepticism
- Edited by James P. Steyer, the CEO and founder of Common Sense Media.
- Add it to the shelf with books like Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now by Jaron Lanier, The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains by Nicholas Carr, and The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power by Shoshana Zuboff.
