*IRVINE WELSH*
An important new book ... that describes what is happening in terms
of an epochal, once-in-a-millennium shift … in Varoufakis's
telling, this isn't just new technology. This is the world
grappling with an entirely new economic system and therefore
political power
*Observer*
Arresting … an ambitious thinker and a lively writer … Varoufakis
is right that we are in thrall to digital platforms, who hold our
data hostage and prevent us from switching to “a competing cloud
fief”
*The Times*
Varoufakis is a remarkable combination of analyst and dreamer… as
always, Varoufakis makes his readers think… an important
achievement
*Financial Times, *Books of the Year**
In his characteristically enthralling style, Varoufakis guides the
reader through some of the most significant trends in the modern
economy, showing clearly how the big tech giants have built an
economy that works for them - and how everyone else can take power
back
