Synopsis

Brought to you by Penguin.

The global, open internet is fragmenting. How To Save the Internet outlines the global cooperation needed to reform Big Tech and preserve the internet as we know it.

As democracies aim to control Big Tech, Silicon Valley adopts an America-first agenda, and authoritarian regimes like China and Russia isolate their populations from the internet, the most powerful tool for bringing us together risks being dismantled.

Nick Clegg, Meta’s former President of Global Affairs, reveals where Big Tech has faltered, how Silicon Valley’s insularity has led to mistakes, and the necessary radical reforms for global platforms to ensure their future.

While new regulations are crucial, imposing national borders on the internet would undermine its capacity for sharing knowledge, collaboration, education, trade, research, and ultimately, for the empowerment and improvement of billions of lives.

Radical, reasonable, deeply felt and disarmingly honest, this is the book we need to save the internet.

'A vital read for anyone building or regulating the next era of technology' REID HOFFMAN, LinkedIn Co-Founder

Goodreads review by Jason on October 26, 2025

Nick has an interesting take on the future (and status quo) of the Internet as someone who has worked in politics and as an executive at Meta. I found his perspective unique as it runs counter to people I look up to, like Tristan Harris for example.......more

Goodreads review by Imaduddin on October 13, 2025

Having worked in government affairs for Meta, the author is conflicted, and so that's something you always have to bear in mind as he metes out analysis and recommendations.......more
