Book Summary
The Age Of Extraction: How Tech Platforms Conquered The Economy And Threaten Our Future Prosperity is a timely, accessible look at how tech platforms shape today’s economy. This non-fiction exploration shows how apps, networks, and data create convenience and wealth for a few while reshaping work, prices, and opportunity for many. Written for curious readers, students, business leaders, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand tomorrow’s economy, this book blends history, current events, and precise analysis with an urgent, hopeful spirit about possible reform.
Tim Wu writes in a clear, engaging voice, tracing how platform power rose from early online networks to the dominant gatekeepers of today. The book is organized around landscape, history, and forward-looking proposals, and it introduces key concepts such as wealth extraction, data as a strategic asset, network effects, and the regulatory questions we must answer. Through case studies and fresh context—covering topics like generative AI, predictive data, antitrust debates, and cryptocurrency—the book makes complex ideas accessible and relevant. Whether you’re new to these topics or seeking deeper insight, The Age Of Extraction offers a thoughtful, evidence-based journey that invites you to think critically about our economic future.
Readers finish with a clearer view of how technology can drive broad prosperity and a sense of responsibility to help steer policy, business, and everyday decisions toward a fairer economy. The Age Of Extraction leaves you with practical perspectives and renewed confidence to participate in shaping our shared future.
