Omschrijving

Future Politics confronts the most important question of our time: how will digital technology change society?

The most interesting exploration yet of the political realities in the digital era.

For all its grand implications, Future Politics is an accessible read, peppered with self-deprecating humour and pop cultural references throughout, and will make you only more curious about the road ahead.

He steers a course to the future that is as convincing as it is shocking.

[Susskind] has tremendous talent and the book is very readable.

An impressive feat of intellectual organization ... To have written it all down so lucidly, engagingly and succinctly is a formidable achievement.

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".

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.

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.

Superb and necessary book.

Future Politics should be essential reading for those with the will to anticipate the future challenges facing defence and society.

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.

'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.

... rigorous and thoughtful book ...

A must-read for anyone interested in the great political debate of the 21st century: how will digital technology transform society and politics? Susskind approaches the debate with both the expertise of a lawyer and a deep understanding of the digital world.

Original and thought-provoking, this ground-breaking book challenges us to develop new policies for new times.

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.

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.

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.

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.
