How does a recommendation algorithm work? How have social networks changed? Who’s in charge in the digital world? What will artificial intelligence bring? And is the cloud really in the sky?

This book won’t teach you how to use an app or code a website—there are plenty of tutorials for that. Instead, it explains why the Internet is the way it is, the logic behind how it works, and offers tools to help us lead digital lives that are less toxic and more respectful of people and the environment.

Marta G. Franco (Spain) is a member of Algorights, a community focused on artificial intelligence from a human-rights perspective, and Pantube, an alliance of digital creators developing shared strategies.

Luis Demano (Spain) is an illustrator with a long career that includes not only publications, but also works for the press, institutional posters and advertising.
