Tim Wu: The Age of Extraction image
Synopsis:

Professor at Columbia Law School, special assistant to President Biden for technology and competition policy, and inventor of the term ‘net neutrality’ – Tim Wu’s work places him at the cutting edge of legal and ethical questions about the new information age. Joining us with The Age of Extraction, he breaks down the accelerating quest to extract data, attention, and profit from us, as well as how to break the tech monopoly and bring prosperity for all.
