About this product
Product Information
The story of our most fundamental human right - and why it is in grave danger Chosen as one of the best books of 2022 by the Financial Times and the Telegraph Longlisted for the Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing 'Compelling, powerful and necessary.' - Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism 'Fascinating' - Guardian Without a moment's pause, we share our most intimate thoughts with trillion-dollar tech companies. Their algorithms categorize us and jump to troubling conclusions about who we are. They also shape our everyday thoughts, choices and actions - from who we date to whether we vote. But this is just the latest front in an age-old struggle. Part history and part manifesto, Freedom to Think explores how the powerful have always sought to influence how we think and what we buy. Connecting the dots from Galileo to Alexa, human rights lawyer Susie Alegre charts the history and fragility of our most important human right: freedom of thought. Filled with shocking case-studies across politics, criminal justice, and everyday life, this ground-breaking book shows how our mental freedom is under threat like never before. Bold and radical, Alegre argues that only by recasting our human rights for the digital age can we safeguard our future.

Reviews
In the absence of adequate scrutiny or accountability, technology has developed to undermine the keystone for human dignity: the right to freedom of thought. In this timely and pioneering book Alegre contributes a sorely needed vision for how we may protect a "forgotten freedom" and collectively avert an Orwellian future. This book is an insightful and urgent wake-up call. Ahmed Shaheed, UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief Alegre asks a provocative and original question as we struggle to understand and react to our increasingly technologized world: are we losing our freedom of thought? Her ideas are much needed. David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect Fascinating... We have all sleepwalked into this gloomy fairytale, and it's time to wake up. Guardian Could not be more timely... As the world experiences yet another brutal reminder of how far authoritarians will go to control and suppress their populations, [Alegre's] recommendations feel freshly relevant. Financial Times Profoundly essential and deeply engaging. If freedom of thought and the very possibility of a free society are to survive the digital century, then we urgently need the rights and laws that will make it so. Thankfully, Alegre stands with us to lead and light the way, beginning with her compelling, powerful, and necessary book. Shoshana Zuboff, author of The Age of Surveillance Capitalism Engaging and thought-provoking... [a] hard-hitting examination of the evils of Big Tech and, to a lesser extent, the surveillance state. Literary Review Engaging and entertaining. A call to action on one of the most pressing issues of our time. Jennifer Robinson, leading human rights lawyer An effective wake-up call for those unaware of the scale of efforts to restrict and control our thoughts. Engineering & Technology
