that sets you up to be a better citizen, consumer, and parent. I
quickly learnt so much about so many things I wanted to
know."--Sherry Turkle, Professor, MIT; author of Reclaiming

MacKinnon, Washington Post
"An enjoyably accessible, but cautiously skeptical, tour through

society in which we may be spending the rest of our
lives."--Winnipeg Free Press

is an important book."--Andy Haldane, Chief Economist, Bank of
England

root in every facet of our lives. Read this book and you'll be
ready for a revolution in trust that rewrites the rules of human
interaction."--Marc Benioff, Chairman & CEO, Salesforce
