2 side-by-side headshots: Tim Wu, Lina Khan
The Internet was once celebrated as a democratizing force promising widespread prosperity. In his new book, The Age of Extraction, Tim Wu explores how it has instead fueled the rise of new economic hierarchies & widened the wealth gap & deepened inequality. Wu, who famously coined the term net neutrality, charts the ascent of dominant tech platforms, the extraordinary power they wield, & the unprecedented ways they extract wealth, data, & attention from us all-reshaping both our economy & our society.
Wu will be in conversation with Lina Khan, former Chair of the Federal Trade Commission, to discuss how society can reclaim control of our digital lives to build a fairer, more balanced economy.
