THE OLD GODS ARE DYING.
Giant corporations collapse overnight. Newspapers are being swallowed. Stock prices plummet with a tweet.
NEW IDOLS ARE RISING IN THEIR PLACE.
More crime now happens online than offline. Facebook has grown bigger than any state, bots battle elections, coders write policy, and algorithms shape our lives in more ways than we can imagine.
The Death of the Gods is an exploration of power in the digital age, and a journey in search of the new centres of control. From a cyber-crime raid in British suburbia to the engine rooms of Silicon Valley, pioneering technology researcher Carl Miller traces how power is being transformed, fought over, lost and won.
