The Age of Extraction
عصر الاستخراج
A _NEW YORKER_ BEST BOOK OF 2025 • Tech platforms manipulate attention, extract wealth, and deepen inequality. In this new book, Tim Wu (_The Attention Merchants_) explains how we can reclaim control and create a balanced economy that works for everyone. “The magic of Tim Wu’s _The Age of Extraction_ is its simplicity. Wu deftly breaks down one of the greatest challenges of our age—the unaccountable power of tech platforms—into such digestible pieces that the solutions for what to do become dead obvious. Essential reading.”—Karen Hao, author of _Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI_ “It’s not just in your head—your online life is draining your wallet…. \[_The Age of Extraction_ is\] a sharp and eye-opening introduction to how we arrived at platform capitalism—where no good click goes unmonetized.”—_Kirkus Reviews_
