Future Politics confronts one of the most important questions of our time: how will digital technology transform politics and society? The great political debate of the last century was about how much of our collective life should be determined by the state and what should be left to the market and civil society. In the future, the question will be how far our lives should be directed and controlled by powerful digital systems -- and on what terms?

Jamie Susskind argues that rapid and relentless innovation in a range of technologies -- from artificial intelligence to virtual reality -- will transform the way we live together. Calling for a fundamental change in the way we think about politics, he describes a world in which certain technologies and platforms, and those who control them, come to hold great power over us. Some will gather data about our lives, causing us to avoid conduct perceived as shameful, sinful, or wrong. Others will filter our perception of the world, choosing what we know, shaping what we think, affecting how we feel, and guiding how we act. Still others will force us to behave certain ways, like self-driving cars that refuse to drive over the speed limit.

Those who control these technologies -- usually big tech firms and the state -- will increasingly control us. They will set the limits of our liberty, decreeing what we may do and what is forbidden. Their algorithms will resolve vital questions of social justice, allocating social goods and sorting us into hierarchies of status and esteem. They will decide the future of democracy, causing it to flourish or decay.

A groundbreaking work of political analysis, Future Politics challenges readers to rethink what it means to be free or equal, what it means to have power or property, what it means for a political system to be just or democratic, and proposes ways in which we can -- and must -- regain control.

sizing runs a bit big but very comfortable, i love these and ordered multiple colors
Size: X-Small, Color: Black
Initially, i ordered a small and an X small based on reviews here. Glad i did. I opened the x-small first and it fit perfectly. Returned the other one unopened. Sleeves fit my arms well. Collar stands up well. Shirt has sufficient length to tuck in too. Not super long though if you want to untuck with jeans. I'm 5'6 140#. I lift weights regularly and run. I'm right at 11.8-12.0% body fat. I typically wear a small in the amazon essentials slim fit t shirt. Those fit really well in size S. Check them out too if you have not yet. These polos XS fits equally well for my body type.

Great Shirt - Fits big and isn’t slim IMO
Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black
5’10, 155lbs, size X-Small. Soft material, very comfortable, light weight and breathable. Sizing is way off. This shirt is huge considering my size, shirt size, and slim fit.

Lightweight and soft
Size: Large, Color: Bright Blue
True to size and very comfortable. Lightweight and the color is just as the picture. They was well and don’t wrinkle easily. We dry them on low heat to avoid shrinkage and so far they have been just fine.

Great Slim-Fit Polo That Keeps You Cool on the Course
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Green, Size: Medium, Color: Dark Green
I picked up this Amazon Essentials Slim-Fit Golf Polo recently, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite golf shirts. The quick-dry fabric really works — even on hot, sunny days, I stay comfortable and dry without feeling sticky. The slim fit is flattering without being too tight, and there’s enough stretch to move freely during my swing. It’s lightweight but still feels durable, and the collar keeps its shape after multiple wears and washes. For the price, it’s hard to beat a polo that looks good, feels great, and performs well on the course. Definitely recommend if you want something simple and functional.
