Reset

'No one has done more than Ron Deibert and his lab to expose the enemies of the internet... Reset is the definitive narrative of where we went wrong and a last chance to make things right' Edward Snowden

'Destined to become one of the 21st century's seminal political texts' Herald

'There have been many disturbing books about the surveillance society and its abuses. This one is more convincing than most... He has some of the best - i.e., most horrifying - stories. And, above all, he is right: one more unchallenged step down this road and any remaining shreds of our freedom and privacy will be lost' Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times

'Mindful of the immense scale of the challenge... we have sleepwalked into a machine-based civilisation of our own making that is full of unforeseen consequences and existential risks... Deibert is always acute and provocative but where he is most interesting is... where he lays out a recipe of possible remedies' Financial Times

'Deibert is a rare hybrid who combines an advanced understanding of computer technology with a rich background in political science. He is also a legend in security and tech circles' Misha Glenny, McMafia

'Tech is at a crossroads between oppression and liberation, and Ronald J. Deibert is our leading expert on the forces steering it in either direction. Reset is a road map revealing the secret alleys and byways that brought us to this juncture, and the ways ahead that we could navigate to a better future' Cory Doctorow, author of Radicalized and Walkaway

'Ron Deibert has been at the heart of analysing the harms of technology to human rights, and increasingly to the human condition, for decades. His deep research and clear moral compass make his plea for a "reset" an urgent one... Essential reading' Marietje Schaake, international policy director of the Cyber Policy Center, Stanford University, and president of the CyberPeace Institute
