New Age of Sexism

'I urge you to read every syllable' JO BRAND‘Reads like a thriller’ DAILY TELEGRAPH‘Illuminating and frequently chilling’ JAMES O’BRIEN‘Urgent’ EMMA LOUISE-BOYNTONAI is here, bringing a seismic shift in the way our society operates.With misogyny baked into their design, new AI-driven technologies are putting women and marginalised groups in danger, their rights and safety sacrificed at the altar of profitability and reckless speed.In The New Age of Sexism, Sunday Times bestselling author and campaigner Laura Bates takes us deep into the heart of this rapidly evolving world, where power remains largely in the hands of a few rich, white men. She explores the metaverse, confronts deepfake pornography, travels to cyber brothels, tests chatbots, and hears from schools in the grip of online sexual abuse, showing how our lives – from education to work, sex to entertainment – are being infiltrated by easily accessible technologies that are changing the way we live and love. What she finds is a wild west where existing forms of discrimination, inequality and harassment are being coded into the future.Gripping, courageous and eye-opening, The New Age of Sexism exposes a phenomenon we can’t afford to ignore any longer. Our future is on the line. We need to act now, before it is too late.‘Laura Bates explains how they built the future – and forgot to put women in it’ CAITLIN MORAN‘All men must read this book if they have any interest in a truly just, fair and equal society’ ROBIN INCE**From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Men Who Hate Women and Fix the System, Not the Women**
