Broadcaster Tracey Spicer had an epiphany when her young son uttered these six words Suddenly her lifes work fighting inequality seemed futile Whats the point in agitating to change the present if bigotry is being embedded into our futures

And so began a quest to uncover who was responsible and hold them to account Who is the ultimate villain Big Tech whose titans refuse to spend money to fix the problem The worlds politicians who lack the will to legislate Or should we all be walking into a hall of mirrors and taking a good hard look at ourselves

This is a deeply researched illuminating and gripping ride into an uncertain AIfuelled future culminating in a resounding call to action that will shake the tech sector to its foundations
