For ALL The People: RedRedeeming the Broken Promises of Modern Media and Reclaiming Our Civic Life

Written by Michael Slaby

Narrated by Michael Slaby

Greater connectivity and superpowered storytelling through digital media systems were supposed to spark a democratic renaissance. Instead, our platforms don’t work for us—we’re the inventory, and our outrage fuels a tech revolution optimized for profit.

But we have the power to break free and create a healthy civic life for all Americans.

Michael Slaby identifies four necessary avenues to build a future that serves us all: redesign our platforms; restore journalism, government, and corporations; reclaim the power and diversity of our storytelling; and ultimately redeem ourselves. Optimistic and passionate, For ALL the People breaks down how we got here and how we can work together toward a better democracy empowered by—rather than exploited by—technology.
