Every day we grow more dependent on our phones and apps to do our chores, our jobs, and our socializing. And every quarter the enormous corporate giants of Big Tech take over more sectors of the economy. It's time crack the code of the economic dynamics that drive these companies to become near-monopolies very early, and the unique forms of "platform power" each once possesses. As Silicon Valley rises to become co-dominant with Wall Street in the halls of corporate power, this book playfully dissects the tech monopolies with humor and a plan to secure our privacy and expand our freedom--socializing the Big Tech platforms."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 0 $a High technology industries $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a High technology industries $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a High technology industries $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) $z Santa Clara Valley (Santa Clara County) 650 0 $a Social responsibility of business. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014030.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200725011825.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=35075F54CE3C11EAB993AF7197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
