‘Laura Bates explains how they built the future – and forgot to put women in it’ CAITLIN MORAN

must read this book if they have any interest in a truly just fair and equal society’ ROBIN
INCE AI is here bringing a seismic shift in the way our society operates. Might this mean a
future reimagined on equitable terms for women and marginalised groups everywhere? Not
unless we fight for it. At present power remains largely in the hands of a few rich white
men. New AI-driven technologies with misogyny baked into their design are putting women in
danger their rights and safety sacrificed at the altar of profitability and reckless speed.
In The New Age of Sexism Sunday Times bestselling author and campaigner Laura Bates takes
us deep into the heart of this rapidly evolving world. She explores the metaverse confronts
deepfake pornography travels to cyber brothels tests chatbots and hears from schools in the
grip of online sexual abuse showing how our lives – from education to work sex to
entertainment – are being infiltrated by easily accessible technologies that are changing the
way we live and love. What she finds is a wild west where existing forms of discrimination
inequality and harassment are being coded into the future we will all have little choice about
living in – unless we seize this moment to demand change. Gripping courageous and
eye-opening The New Age of Sexism exposes a phenomenon we can’t afford to ignore any longer.
Our future is on the line. We need to act now before it is too late. ‘Urgent reading for
anyone who is interested in the intersection of tech and gender equality and indeed anyone who
wants to be a part of building a better future free from misogyny’ EMMA-LOUISE BOYNTON ‘A
brilliantly researched incredibly illuminating and frequently chilling account of the next
chapter in tech' s ongoing assault on our core values. A chapter that is already unfolding
around us all’ JAMES O’BRIEN
