Don't Be Evil
Don't Be Evil: How Big Tech Betrayed Its Founding Principles -- and All of Us
In "Don't Be Evil," Rana Foroohar embarks on a riveting journey through the evolution of Big Tech, unveiling the stark divergence from its original, noble mantra to its current, colossal empire built on the exploitation of personal data and the manipulation of human behavior. With her sharp insight drawn from nearly three decades of experience, Foroohar exposes how companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon have not only strayed from their founding ideals but have constructed a digital dystopia, where privacy is a myth, misinformation runs rampant, and our very social fabric is at risk. This book is a critical examination of the unchecked power of tech giants, which now control vast tracts of the global economy, operate with minimal regulation, and hoard wealth on an unprecedented scale. Through meticulous research and interviews, Foroohar reveals the mechanisms by which these behemoths have captured both our data and attention, transforming every aspect of our lives into commodities for profit. Yet, "Don't Be Evil" is more than an indictment; it is a call to action, offering a blueprint for resisting digital domination by advocating for regulatory reform and technological innovation that prioritizes human welfare over corporate gain. This is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of democracy, privacy, and freedom in the digital age, providing not only a deeper understanding of how we arrived at this juncture but also a hopeful vision for reclaiming control.
