THE TECH COUP
The Code
The codified world is a hot and crunchy cake that tempts on the surface but
conceals the dark realities. The Tech Coup has taken a hands-off approach to
sweeten the innovative trends of cyber Tech with the strong centralized power of
overseeing where DIY Citizens of the global village mark with honour and grace. In
fact, this fetus has been put in the womb of power politics by cyber tech giants and
proponently making efforts to declare it the legitimate baby of democracy. This is not
the whole truth but it is post-truth. In the age of dataism, this power politics has been
structured by the cyber tech giants to burnish the badges of their powers. It explores a
captivating landscape where the journey of progress blends into an enticing yet
bittersweet experience. The architect of this brave new world designs a complex
matrix where surveillance in the name of security distorts the harmonious symphony.
It paints a stark picture of the digital age as a battlefield where governments
are outmatched and outpaced. By exploring the revolving door reveals a troubling
symbiosis between policymakers and corporations, blurring the lines between public
interest and private gain. The book compares democracy to a ship adrift with
governments too dependent on tech giants to chart their course. While the call for
comprehensive regulation is compelling, the faith in reform seems overly optimistic in
the face of entrenched the neoliberal systems. This unveils the deep fractures in
democratic governance but stops short of addressing the broader capitalist structures
that fuel these dynamics. Like a beacon of warning, The Tech Coup highlights the
stakes of unchecked technological growth but leaves readers questioning whether the
solutions offered are sufficient to restore balance. It is a sobering analysis, urging
immediate action, yet its optimism risks underestimating the systemic inertia it seeks
to confront.
