RESET: Reclaiming the Internet for Civil Society

by Ronald J. Deibert

"How to comprehend and correct the negative impact of the internet on politics, the economy, the environment and humanity?"

🌐 CYBERSECURITY | TECHNOLOGY POLICY | SOCIAL IMPACT

A fast-paced, compelling exposé urging for specific restraints on tech platforms and governments to protect civil society.

Extended Synopsis

Drawing on the cutting-edge research of the Citizen Lab, digital security expert Ronald J. Deibert uncovers the perilous state of the modern communications ecosystem. RESET tracks a largely unregulated surveillance industry, highlighting the dangers of remote control technologies, dark PR firms, and profitable hack-for-hire services that exploit poorly secured personal data.

Deibert goes beyond privacy concerns, exposing how consumer electronics and social media dependence create immense environmental degradation. Determined to find solutions, this forward-looking book outlines actionable constraints needed to combat authoritarian policing and rampant electronic consumerism, serving as a powerful rallying call to reclaim the internet.
