How to Save the Internet

A gripping and timely book. Nick 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
