'A devastating expose of cyber-utopianism by the world's most far-seeing Internet guru' John Gray, author of Straw Dogs

Our gadgets are getting smarter. Technology can log what we buy, customize what we consume and enable us to save and share every aspect of our existence. In the future, we're told, it will even make public life - from how we're governed to how we record crime - better. But can the digital age fix everything? Should it? By quantifying our behaviour, Evgeny Morozov argues, we are profoundly reshaping society - and risk losing the opacity and imperfection that make us human.

A clear voice of reason and critical thinking in the middle of today's neomania -- Nassim Taleb, author of 'The Black Swan' If you've ever had the niggling feeling, as you spoon down your google, that there's no such thing as a free lunch, Morozov's book will tell you how you might end up paying for it -- Brian Eno
