“A twenty-first century Tocqueville, Schaake looks at Silicon Valley and its impact on democratic society with an outsider’s gimlet eye. She unflinchingly shows how technologies like AI tip the scales of power and justice threatening our freedoms, values, and rights. The Tech Coup is an essential roadmap for deploying policy innovation to guard the public interest and reinvigorate democracy.”
