Reviews

‘The digital revolution will change our world. It will change the way we act and the way we interact. It will change the scope of governments and firms to affect our choices. All this for the better and for the worse. Nobody is better placed than Daniel Cohen to take us on an exploration of how the digital world may look. A fascinating intellectual journey.’ Olivier Blanchard, Peterson Institute for International Economics ‘In what turned out to be his final work, Daniel Cohen brought his encyclopaedic knowledge to bear on the contradictions of post-industrial society, now reinforced by artificial intelligence: an apparent liberation of the individual alongside intensified surveillance; an ostensible enablement of a vox populi that has also generated soaring material inequality and the loneliness of global communication. He appeals to us to treasure those institutions that remind us of our continuing need for each other.’ Colin Crouch, University of Warwick
