Lost in the Super Market

New Collection: American Compass Takes on Tech

 
The digital era has revolutionized human life. Everything from labor markets (Uber!) to personal relationships (Tinder!) look different today thanks to digital technology.

But policymakers lack a framework for thinking through the issues that arise from these new technologies and continue to apply old rules to an increasingly novel world. Their focus on the concentrated power of “Big Tech,” while important, risks missing the forest for the one especially large tree.

Our new collection, Lost in the Super Market: Navigating the Digital Age, explores how digital tech has reshaped our lives and considers how we can address novel challenges like privacy, the frictionless exchange in the “gig” economy, and the market for our attention.
