"In the 2020 CBC Massey Lectures, bestselling author and renowned technology
and security expert Ronald J. Deibert exposes the disturbing influence and
impact of the internet on politics, the economy, the environment, and humanity.

"Digital technologies have given rise to a new machine-based civilization that
is increasingly linked to a growing number of social and political maladies.
Accountability is weak and insecurity is endemic, creating disturbing
opportunities for exploitation. 

"Drawing from the cutting-edge research of the Citizen Lab, the world-renowned
digital security research group which he founded and directs, Ronald J. Deibert
exposes the impacts of this communications ecosystem on civil society. He
tracks a mostly unregulated surveillance industry, innovations in technologies
of remote control, superpower policing practices, dark PR firms, and highly
profitable hack-for-hire services feeding off rivers of poorly secured personal
data. Deibert also unearths how dependence on social media and its expanding
universe of consumer electronics creates immense pressure on the natural
environment. In order to combat authoritarian practices, environmental
degradation, and rampant electronic consumerism, he urges restraints on tech
platforms and governments to reclaim the internet for civil society.
