Those who control the most powerful technologies are increasingly able to control the rest of us. As time goes on, these powerful entities - usually big tech firms and the state - will set the limits of our liberty, decreeing what may be done and what is forbidden. Their algorithms will determine vital questions of social justice. In their hands, democracy will flourish or decay. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA landmark work of political theory, \u003cem\u003eFuture Politics\u003c\/em\u003e challenges readers to rethink what it means to be free or equal, what it means to have power or property, and what it means for a political system to be just or democratic. In a time of rapid and relentless changes, it is a book about how we can - and must - regain control. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWinner of the Estoril Global Issues Distinguished Book Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJamie Susskind, \u003cem\u003eBarrister, Littleton Chambers\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJamie Susskind is a barrister and the author of the award-winning bestseller \u003cem\u003eFuture Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech (Oxford University Press, 2018)\u003c\/em\u003e, which received the Estoril Global Issues Distinguished Book Prize 2019, and was an \u003cem\u003eEvening Standard and Prospect\u003c\/em\u003e Book of the Year.
