The author's painstaking research and attention to detail is obvious in the writing of this book. There were many facts that I only discovered after reading this!

Read if you: Want a better understanding of the hold the major tech companies have on our society and individual lives .

You many use Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Apple on a daily basis (and perhaps multiple times a day), but your concern over their practices and access to your information makes you wary. Through Rana Roroohar's extensive experience reporting on Silicon Valley, she has created a highly readable, alarming, evenhanded, and clear-eyed view on the growing expansion and dominance of Big Tech. This is a much-needed account of an industry that most everyday people don't fully understand--thanks to her reporting, readers will be armed with a better knowledge of what's at stake and how government and the industry can turn things around before it's too late.

Many thanks to Crown Publishing and Netgalley for a digital review in exchange for an honest review.
