Product Description

The Age of Extraction by Tim Wu examines how tech platforms manipulate attention, extract wealth, and deepen inequality, while offering a roadmap for reclaiming control and creating a fairer economy.

Acclaimed for its clarity, the book explores the rise of platform power, detailing the risks and rewards of digital capitalism. Wu explains how the Internet, once promising widespread prosperity and democracy, has instead fostered wealth concentration and social inequality, amplified by AI and data-driven systems.

Key themes include:

  • How digital platforms and AI influence society and the economy
  • The mechanics of wealth extraction and attention capture
  • Lessons from recent history, including antimonopoly and crypto movements
  • Practical proposals for balancing economic growth with equality
  • Strategies to reclaim control over digital systems for societal benefit

Concise, insightful, and hopeful, The Age of Extraction is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the impact of platform capitalism and envision a more equitable digital future.
