Automating Humanity is an insider's perspective on everything Big Tech doesn't want the public to know--or think about: everything from the addictions installed on a global scale to the profits being driven by fake news and disinformation, to the way they're manipulating the world for profit and using our data to train systems that will automate jobs at an explosive, unprecedented scale.

Toscano provides a critique of modern regulation, including parts of the new European Union's General Data Proctection Regulation (GDPR) suggesting how we can create proactive, adaptable regulation that satisfies both the needs of consumer safety and commercial success in the international economy. The content touches on everything from technology, economics and public policy to psychology, history and ethics, and is written in a way that is accessible to everyone from the average reader to the technical expert.
