How to Save the Internet by Nick Clegg

How to Save the Internet by Nick Clegg

'A gripping and timely book. Nick Clegg writes with clarity, authority and urgency' PETER FRANKOPAN

The global, open internet is fragmenting. How To Save the Internet outlines the global cooperation needed to reform Big Tech and preserve the internet as we know it.

As democracies aim to control Big Tech, Silicon Valley adopts an America-first agenda, and authoritarian regimes like China and Russia isolate their populations from the internet, the most powerful tool for bringing us together risks being dismantled.

Nick Clegg, Meta’s former President of Global Affairs, reveals where Big Tech has faltered, how Silicon Valley’s insularity has led to mistakes, and the necessary radical reforms for global platforms to ensure their future.

While new regulations are crucial, imposing national borders on the internet would undermine its capacity for sharing knowledge, collaboration, education, trade, research, and ultimately, for the empowerment and improvement of billions of lives.

Radical, reasonable, deeply felt and disarmingly honest, this is the book we need to save the internet.

'A vital read for anyone building or regulating the next era of technology' REID HOFFMAN, LinkedIn Co-Founder

A gripping and timely bookNick Clegg writes with clarity, authority and urgency about how we have arrived at a digital crossroads - and about what is at stake with the choices that do not lie ahead but need to be made now -- Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads
As generative AI reshapes everything from communication to geopolitics, we face a pivotal question: will open, democratic values shape the future – or will fragmentation and authoritarian models win? Nick Clegg makes a compelling case for global cooperation, responsible governance and shared infrastructure to ensure AI remains a force for freedom -- Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and founding investor in OpenAI
The global internet – once a force for openness – is at risk of fracturing under the weight of the contest between open versus closed perspectives on the world. As Nick Clegg powerfully sets out, the technology revolution is the defining political challenge of our time and, as AI becomes more powerful, it is the leadership and values of democratic nations that must set the course -- Tony Blair, former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom
Nick Clegg issues a dire warning to democracies to resist the temptation to turn the internet into a 'splinter net' ... Clegg’s call for 'radical transparency' from Big Tech is all the more urgent as artificial intelligence threatens to upend and transform the world order -- Nate Persily, Professor of Law, Stanford Law School
How to Save the Internet goes behind the scenes at Meta and provides insight into how Silicon Valley's insularity has blinded it to its missteps * Guardian *

Nick Clegg recently stepped down as President, Global Affairs at Meta, the company’s chief policy decision-maker and its principal interlocutor with world leaders, governments and policymakers around the globe. Previously he was Deputy Prime Minister of the UK. At Meta, he shifted the company toward engagement with regulation, created an independent Oversight Board and opened it up to rigorous academic research. He managed some of the most complex issues the company faces, including content policy and elections, and took key decisions on the suspension (and later reinstatement) of President Trump, the handling of misinformation during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the company’s response to Russian state media and covert operations following the invasion of Ukraine. He is the author of two bestselling books and speaks five languages.
