Overview

Exposes how digital giants have seized control of our economies and democracies—and lays out a plan to take the internet back. Big Tech has infiltrated every corner of our lives—helping spread disinformation and eroding democracy itself. In Big Tech Must Go!, digital expert Martin Andree delivers a searing critique of how tech giants have staged a hostile takeover of society, turning once-open digital spaces into tools of control and monopolistic power. With astute analysis and eye-opening examples, Andree unpacks how these corporations have undermined free markets and reshaped the internet into a battleground for influence. Far from a nihilistic narrative, this book is also a call to action that offers strategies for reclaiming digital freedom before it's too late. Both a manifesto and a battle plan, Big Tech Must Go! urges readers to rethink the role of technology in our world and fight for an internet that serves people, not profit.
