'A wake-up call we cannot afford to ignore' TONY BLAIR 'A vital read for anyone building or
regulating the next era of technology' REID HOFFMAN The global open internet is fragmenting.
As democracies seek to rein in the power of Big Tech as Silicon Valley pivots to an
America-first agenda as authoritarian regimes such as China and Russia segregate their
populations from the rest of the internet the most powerful tool ever created for bringing the
world together risks being dismantled. Taking us behind the scenes at Meta and his
interactions with world leaders Nick Clegg Meta's former President Global Affairs sets out
where Big Tech has gone wrong how Silicon Valley's insularity has blinded it to its missteps
and the radical reforms of the global platforms that are now needed if they are to secure a
long-term future. But he also makes the case that many of the charges against them - including
that their algorithms polarise manipulate and harm - are vastly overstated or simply untrue.
And while new laws that regulate these corporations are essential imposing national borders on
the internet cannot be the answer. That will fatally undermine its capacity for
knowledge-sharing collaboration education trade medical and scientific research and
ultimately for the improvement and empowerment of billions of lives. Radical reasonable
deeply felt and disarmingly honest How To Save the Internet sets out a blueprint for the
global cooperation we need in order to reform Big Tech while preserving the fundamental
openness of the internet on which our future so depends. 'A gripping and timely book. Nick
Clegg writes with clarity authority and urgency' PETER FRANKOPAN
