*JAMIE’S NEW BOOK ON HOW TO TALK TO AI - AND HOW NOT TO - IS OUT NOW***Winner of the 2019 Transmission Prize****Longlisted for the 2019 Orwell Prize for Political Writing**‘A superb book by one of the world’s leading experts on the digital revolution’ David Patrikarakos, Literary Review‘This book could not have come at a better moment... The People Vs Tech makes clear that there is still time – just – for us to take back control’ - Camilla Cavendish, Sunday Times The internet was meant to set us free.Tech has radically changed the way we live our lives. But have we unwittingly handed too much away to shadowy powers behind a wall of code, all manipulated by a handful of Silicon Valley utopians, ad men, and venture capitalists? And, in light of recent data breach scandals around companies like Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, what does that mean for democracy, our delicately balanced system of government that was created long before big data, total information and artificial intelligence? In this urgent polemic, Jamie Bartlett argues that through our unquestioning embrace of big tech, the building blocks of democracy are slowly being removed. The middle class is being eroded, sovereign authority and civil society is weakened, and we citizens are losing our critical faculties, maybe even our free will.The People Vs Tech is an enthralling account of how our fragile political system is being threatened by the digital revolution. Bartlett explains that by upholding six key pillars of democracy, we can save it before it is too late. We need to become active citizens; uphold a shared democratic culture; protect free elections; promote equality; safeguard competitive and civic freedoms; and trust in a sovereign authority. This essential book shows that the stakes couldn’t be higher and that, unless we radically alter our course, democracy will join feudalism, supreme monarchies and communism as just another political experiment that quietly disappeared.

On 5 June 2013, the Guardian began publishing a series of documents leaked by NSA contractor Edward Snowden, revealing the extent of internet surveillance undertaken by government and intelligence agencies. It provoked an immediate outcry. ‘I didn’t want to change society,’ Snowden would later say, in exile. ‘I wanted to give society a chance to determine if it should change itself.’ And to some extent, he has. Snowden’s leaks have provoked important debates about the precarious balance between individual privacy and national security on the internet. As a result of his revelations, the internet – and the way many of us use it – is changing dramatically. A new ‘crypto-war’ over the right to online privacy is being waged, with the net becoming increasingly difficult to monitor, and censorship more difficult to enforce. New opportunities are opening up for human rights activists and journalists, but also for criminals and terrorists.Orwell versus the Terrorists is an insightful and revelatory examination of the history of the battle over privacy online, and a shocking glimpse of the frontline tactics of both sides. In a world in which the rules governing online activity are hazy, nebulous and often contradictory, it also presents a powerful and convincing model for the future of net-surveillance post-Snowden.

From the creator of hit podcast The Missing Cryptoqueen______________________________'Thoughtful and intelligent' Observer'Inside the anti-political revolt that gave us Brexit and Trump' Evening Standard'Fascinating... Excellent' Literary Review'Must read … A radical odyssey' Daily MailIn the last few years the world has changed in unexpected ways. The power of radical ideas and groups is growing. What was once considered extreme is now the mainstream. But what is life like on the political fringes? What is the real power of radicals? Radicals is an exploration of the individuals, groups and movements who are rejecting the way we live now, and attempting to find alternatives. In it, Jamie Bartlett, one of the world’s leading thinkers on radical politics and technology, takes us inside the strange and exciting worlds of the innovators, disruptors, idealists and extremists who think society is broken, and believe they know how to fix it. From dawn raids into open mines to the darkest recesses of the internet, Radicals introduces us to some of the most secretive and influential movements today: techno-futurists questing for immortality, far-right groups seeking to close borders, militant environmentalists striving to save the planet's natural reserves by any means possible, libertarian movements founding new countries, autonomous cooperatives in self-sustaining micro-societies, and psychedelic pioneers attempting to heal society with the help of powerful hallucinogens.As well as providing a fascinating glimpse at the people and ideas driving these groups, Radicals also presents a startling argument: radicals are not only the symptoms of a deep unrest within the world today, but might also offer the most plausible models for our future.

Brought to you by Penguin.175 countries, four billion dollars, one scam: the inside story of the world''s biggest crypto con and the woman who got away with it.In 2016, on stage at Wembley Arena in front of thousands of adoring fans, Dr Ruja Ignatova promised her followers a financial revolution. The future, she said, belonged to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. And the Oxford-educated, self-styled cryptoqueen vowed that she had invented the Bitcoin Killer. OneCoin would not only earn its investors untold fortunes, it would change the world.By March 2017 more than $4 billion had been invested in OneCoin in dozens of countries, from the USA to Pakistan, Hong Kong to Yemen, and the UK to Brazil. But by October 2017, Ruja Ignatova had disappeared, and it slowly became clear that her revolutionary cryptocurrency was not all it seemed.In The Missing Cryptoqueen, Jamie Bartlett tells the unbelievable story of the rise, disappearance and fall of Dr Ruja Ignatova, setting out on a globe-crossing investigation into the criminal underworlds, corrupt governments and the super-rich. Along the way, he reveals a very modern tale of intrigue, techno-hype and herd madness that allowed OneCoin to become a million person pyramid scheme - where, at the top, investors were making millions and, at the bottom, people were putting their livelihoods at risk. It''s the inside story of the smartest and biggest scam of the 21st Century - and the genius behind it, who is still on the run.© Jamie Bartlett 2022 (P) Penguin Audio 2022

In "Radicals" nimmt Jamie Bartlett, einer der weltweit führenden Denker zu radikaler Politik und Technologie, die Leser mit in die fremdartigen und aufregenden Welten der Innovatoren, Disruptoren, Idealisten und Extremisten, die der Auffassung sind, dass im Kern der modernen Gesellschaft etwas falsch ist – und glauben, dass wir es besser können. Bartlett stellt einige der wichtigsten Bewegungen unserer Zeit vor: Techno-Futuristen, die Unsterblichkeit anstreben; extrem rechte Gruppen, die Grenzen schließen wollen; militante Umweltaktivisten, die den Planeten mit allen notwendigen Mitteln retten wollen; psychedelische Pioniere, die die Gesellschaft mithilfe starker Halluzinogene heilen wollen.Der Erfolg demokratischer Gesellschaften hängt von unserer Fähigkeit ab, den radikalen Bewegungen in unserer Mitte zuzuhören – und in manchen Fällen von ihnen zu lernen. Ihre Ansichten mögen extrem sein, aber in der Verfolgung ihrer Utopien stellen diese Gruppen infrage, was möglich ist, und nehmen die künftige Welt vorweg.

I juni 2016 stod Ruja Ignatova, jurist och ekonom med en Oxfordexamen, inför extatiska åhörare på Wembley Arena i London och utlovade en kryptofinansiell revolution. Bitcoin skulle förpassas till historiens sophög av den nya kryptovaluta som Ignatova och hennes medhjälpare – bland dem svensken Sebastian Greenwood – hade utvecklat, onecoin. Onecoin skulle inte bara göra alla som investerade i den sanslöst förmögna, den skulle också förändra världen i grunden. Knappt ett år senare, i mars 2017, hade människor världen över köpt onecoin för sammanlagt fyra miljarder dollar. Men banker i olika länder hade under samma period blivit betänksamma och börjat varna för riskerna med den nya kryptovalutan. I oktober 2017 försvann så Ignatova spårlöst. Det blev tidskriften "Fortune" som kom att formulera den rimliga frågan: Är onecoin historiens största bedrägeri? I "Kryptodrottningen som försvann" låter oss journalisten Jamie Bartlett ta del av den lätt osannolika historien om onecoin och dess färgstarka och samvetslösa galjonsfigur. Han skildrar de intriger, den hype och den masspsykos som gjorde onecoin-svindeln möjligt att genomföra. Det var helt enkelt ett gigantiskt pyramidspel, där människorna i pyramidens topp tjänade miljontals dollar och de i dess botten förlorade allt de ägde. Men Bartlett är också intresserad av miljardsvindelns mänskliga och psykologiska förutsättningar, vår villighet att låta oss förföras.
