Over the past thirty years, humanity handed over to big tech decisions that have allowed them to build our "space of the world" — the highly artificial space of social media platforms where much of our social life now unfolds. The toxic effects on social life, young people's mental health, and political solidarity are well known, but the key factor underlying all this has been missed: the fact that humanity allowed business to construct our space of the world at all and then exploit it for profit. In the first book of his trilogy, Humanising the Future, Nick Couldry offers a radical new vision of how to design our digital spaces so that they build, rather than erode, both solidarity and community.
