Book Culture
536 W 112th St
New York, NY 10025
In Reclaiming the Internet, Olivier Sylvain, a leading legal scholar and former senior advisor at the Federal Trade Commission, exposes the incentives behind social media design, revealing how they trap users in cycles of addiction, misinformation, and harm.
“Sylvain meticulously exposes how a handful of corporations hide ruthless systems of surveillance, addiction, and commercial exploitation behind legal and cultural myths around neutrality and free expression.”
—Zephyr Teachout, Fordham Law School, author of Break ’Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom From Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money
