The world stands at an imminent digital crossroads: unprecedented prosperity or peril? Read the review of Frank H. McCourt Jr. and Michael J. Casey’s “OUR BIGGEST FIGHT: Reclaiming Liberty, Humanity, and Dignity in the Digital Age”.
For many Americans, it is almost impossible to imagine a world without the internet. It’s even harder to grasp the notion that the digital world we inherited is dangerous, yet changeable. Currently, the five largest internet companies have a market valuation larger than the GDP of any country except the U.S. and China. The digital barons of Big Tech have more information and control over our lives than any other group ever has before in human history.
In their groundbreaking book, Our Biggest Fight: Reclaiming Liberty, Humanity, and Dignity in the Digital Age, Frank H. McCourt, Jr., and Michael J. Casey present their bold plan to recreate the internet so it reflects and upholds America’s most sacred values: dignity, property, privacy, free speech, and self-governance.
McCourt is a billionaire businessman and philanthropist who founded and contributed more than $500 million to the Project Liberty Institute, the organization seeking to implement the plan outlined in the book. His co-author, Casey, is currently a chief content officer at CoinDesk and brings 18 years of experience in journalism at Dow Jones and the Wall Street Journal.
The authors are inspired by historic calls to action such as Thomas Paine’s Common Sense. Readers will find that Project Liberty presents a bold and ambitious set of ideas to fundamentally reimagine our lives in the digital age. In short, Casey and McCourt aim to overhaul the internet in order to offer an alternative rooted in the principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.
