Cambridge University Press Unwired
Book SynopsisOur society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but can''t help themselves. These days we spend more time online than ever. Some turn to self-help-measures to limit their usage, yet repeatedly fail, while parents feel particularly powerless to help their children. Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies shows us a way out. Rather than blaming users, the book shatters the illusion that we autonomously choose how to spend our time online. It shifts the moral responsibility and accountability for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, the book demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. It describes a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls. Groundbreaking and urgent, Unwired provides a blueprint to develop this movement for change, to one that will allow us to finally gain control.Trade Review'Gaia Bernstein's Unwired offers a compelling roadmap for tackling one of our most pressing problems: the irresistible pull of technology. Over the course of our lives, we and our children will spend between fifteen and twenty years glued to our screens. As Bernstein shows, though, there are regulatory remedies at hand to help us retain our time and our wellbeing.' Adam Alter, Professor of Marketing and Psychology, NYU Stern School of Business, author of Irresistible and Drunk Tank Pink'In this important and powerful book, Gaia Bernstein shows us how to reclaim our power and our humanity from the Big Tech cartel that have intentionally addicted us to their devices and platforms.' Nicholas Kardaras, Ph.D., Author of 'Glow Kids' and 'Digital Madness", former Clinical Professor, Stony Brook Medicine'Unwired is a compelling, accessible, and vital intervention into the overuse of technology. Instead of offering overly simplistic self-help strategies that are doomed to fail, Professor Bernstein rightly targets the manipulative design of technologies and the need for us to work together to hold the tech industry accountable. This book vividly blends personal stories with the latest research and lessons from history to paint a clear picture of our struggle with screens and what it's going to take to improve things. Everyone should read this book.' Woodrow Hartzog, Professor of Law at Boston University and author of Privacy's Blueprint: The Battle to Control the Design of New Technologies'Inviting and intelligent, Gaia Bernstein's extraordinary book masterfully combines honest personal reflections about her experiences with the creep of digital tech together with a sobering academic account of our collective public struggles to deal with technologies designed to addict, manipulate, and even control our behavior. Throughout, Bernstein maintains a can-do attitude that inspires change.' Brett Frischmann, The Charles Widger Endowed University Professor in Law, Business and Economics, Villanova University School of Law'Unwired is a powerful rejoinder to voices that would seek to minimize the threat technological manipulation poses to human freedom. But Gaia Bernstein goes beyond a mere accounting of the harms and proposes systemic changes that can help us take back control. Comprehensive in its scope and clear-eyed in its analysis, Unwired is an indispensable guide to the landscape of digital technology reform. Anyone who cares about the future of technology should read this book.' James Williams, author of Stand Out of Our Light'This trenchant clarion call rings loud and clear.' Publishers Weekly'Mixing expertise and passion, the author sets an agenda to rein in the tech behemoths that have run rampant for years.' Kirkus Reviews'Bernstein is shrewd about the political maneuvers and public relations options available to industries challenged for doing harm to the general welfare. At the same time, she shows that imposing some control or countermeasures … has been possible in the past, and might be in the future.' Scott McLemee, Inside Higher Ed'Unwired exists to be used: an agenda for social change through legal action. It is a knife, not a brush. But it'll be of much more than academic value to those of us whose parenting years were overshadowed by feelings of guilt, frustration and anxiety, as we fought our hopeless battles, and lost our children to TikTok and Fortnite.' Simon Ings, New Statesman'Bernstein … doubts that addicted users … can will themselves out of their habits. Instead, she argues, regulatory intervention of the supplying corporations will be necessary.' Harvard Magazine, Off the ShelfTable of ContentsPrologue; Part I.

Anthem Press Regulating Cross-Border Data Flows: Issues,
Book SynopsisData is now one of the world’s most valuable resources. The adoption of data-driven applications across economic sectors has made data and the flow of data so pervasive that it has become integral to everything we as members of society do – from conducting our finances to operating businesses to powering the apps we use every day. For this reason, governing cross-border data flows is inherently difficult given the ubiquity and value of data, and the impact government policies can have on national competitiveness, business attractiveness and personal rights. The challenge for governments is to address in a coherent manner the broad range of data-related issues in the context of a global data-driven economy. This book engages with the unexplored topic of why and how governments should develop a coherent and consistent strategic framework regulating cross-border data flows. The objective is to fill a very significant gap in the legal and policy setting by considering multiple perspectives in order to assist in the development of a jurisdiction’s coherent and strategic policy framework.Trade Review“This book paints a rich picture of the issues policymakers should address when regulating cross-border data flows. A must-read for all those interested in governance processes in a global data-driven economy.” – Enrico Bonadio, Reader in Intellectual Property Law – City, University of London, UK.“The book by Mercurio and Yu provides invaluable insights into the dynamics of the data- driven economy. Building upon a deep understanding of the existing regulatory frameworks and the geopolitical powerplays, the authors charter the way forward for a coherent regulation of cross-border data flows as the lifeblood of our societies.” – PROF. DR.IUR. MIRA BURRI, Chair for International Economic and Internet Law, Managing Director Internationalization, Principal Investigator ERC Consolidator Grant: TRADE LAW 4.0 (2021- 2026), University of Lucerne, Switzerland.“The professional and diverse academic backgrounds of the two authors have ensured not only the quality of the output but also the unique perspectives of the discussion throughout. The book aims to provide an answer to the challenges of the new economy, it took a holistic approach in examining the pros and cons of the current framework and proposes an interest- based solution.”– Dr. TianxiangHe, School of Law at the City University of Hong, China.“This book distinguishes itself from the existing one in at least two aspects. For one, it is written by Hong Kong legal academics--HK is a global hub for various data-driven applications, and the HK government has been on the frontline of rolling out new regulatory approaches governing data-related issues. Hong Kong’s policies can inform other jurisdictions; moreover, its unique status as related to the Greater China Area, too, makes Hong Kong experience as a & quot; smart city " an attractive case study. For another, the authors have strong backgrounds in patents/IPRs; this is a very important yet less explored angle in the context of data governance. This book should be read by all scholars, policymakers and lawyers who are keen to capture the dynamics of law and data-driven technologies in Hong Kong, the hub of the most dynamic markets in Asia.”– Dr. Han-Wei Liu, Senior Lecturer, Monash University, Australia.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Key Considerations; Competing Models of Data Governance; A Case Study of Hong Kong; Considerations in Moving Forward.
