In September 2021, the Wall Street Journal released the Facebook Files - a huge cache of information looking at the immoral practices of Facebook - how they treated politicians favorably, how they incited violence in Ethiopia, and much more. The person responsible for revealing these was Frances Haugen. With this book, Haugen not only aims to expose the issues at the company, but to also educate and inspire readers to think differently about their social media use and the implications of such big companies. Because if Facebook can't or won't stop the issues, where does that leave governments and ordinary citizens. The book will tell her personal story - about her career and the moments that led to her becoming a whistle-blower - as well as looking more into the files that she released and how we can have a different relationship with tech.

When it comes to the climate, we don't need more marketing or anxiety. We need established facts and a plan for collective action.The climate is the fundamental issue of our time, yet it seems we can barely agree on what is really going on, let alone what needs to be done. We urgently need facts, not opinions. Insights, not statistics.The Carbon Almanac is a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration between hundreds of writers, researchers, thinkers, and leaders that focuses on what we know, what has come before, and what might happen next. With thousands of data points, articles and charts explaining carbon's impact on everything in our society, from our the economy to extreme weather events, it is the definitive source for facts and the basis for a global movement to fight climate change. This book isn't what the oil companies, marketers, activists, or politicians want you to believe. This is what's really happening, right now.

And it's not too late for concerted, collective action for change.

Without a moment's pause, we share our most intimate thoughts with trillion-dollar tech companies. Their algorithms categorize us and jump to conclusions about who we are. They even shape our everyday thoughts and actions - from who we date to how we vote. But this is just the latest front in an age-old struggle.Part history and part manifesto, Freedom to Think charts the history and importance of our most basic human right: freedom of thought. From Galileo to Nudge Theory to Alexa, human rights lawyer Susie Alegre explores how the powerful have always sought to get inside our heads, influence how we think and shape what we buy. Providing a bold new framework to understand how our agency is being gradually undermined, Freedom to Think is a ground-breaking and vital charter for taking back our humanity and safeguarding our reason.
