Who will be in power in the 21st century? Governments? Big business?
Internet titans? And how do we influence the future?
Digital technology is changing power at a faster rate than any time in
history. Distrust and inequality are fuelling political and economic
uncertainty. The scaffolding built around the global order is fragile,
and the checks and balances created over centuries to protect liberty
are being tested, maybe to destruction. Tom Fletcher, the youngest
senior British ambassador for two hundred years, considers how we - as
governments, businesses, individuals - can survive and thrive in the
twenty first century. And how we can ensure that technology can make it
easier of citizens truly to take back control.
