The Naked Diplomat

Who will be in power in the 21st century? Governments? Big business? Internet titans? And how do we influence the future? Digital technology is changing power at a faster rate than any time in history. Distrust and inequality are fuelling political and economic uncertainty. The scaffolding built around the global order is fragile, and the checks and balances created over centuries to protect liberty are being tested, maybe to destruction. Tom Fletcher, the youngest senior British ambassador for two hundred years, considers how we as governments, businesses, individuals can survive and thrive in the twenty first century. And how we can ensure that technology can make it easier of citizens truly to take back control.

After considering what we already have in our library and what our demands are at present, we've concluded not to summarize your suggestion. Sometimes we have to turn down even very good suggestions because they don't quite fit into any of our library's categories, because we've already covered the topic extensively, because the suggested content is too old (we focus on releases from the current year), or because we are unable to summarize this content due to legal restrictions. We thank you for your understanding. Please also understand that due to the amount of suggestions we get, we can't elaborate in detail on why we've decided against a particular one, but rest assured that we examine them all diligently.
