Overview

"In their 'deliberately short book' IT analysts, management consultants and technology practitioners Roehrig and Pring explore how big a beast technology has become, and how we can tame it to maintain our freedom and privacy while still realising its benefits. The pandemic has shown just how much we rely on technology and how addictive it has becomeā€¦The authors address the important questionsā€¦[and] urge us not to slay the monster but rather to leverage its power and reorient technology as a tool for good."
ā€”Financial Times

Monster explains how we can responsibly engage with technology, and avoid its darker tendencies, while accepting its necessary gifts. The authors, insiders at one of the world's largest tech consulting firms, give a unique take on:

  • The addictive nature of tech and how to fight it
  • The growing backlash against big tech--where it's right and what it misses
  • Crucial steps for taming technology's role in your life and in your organization--without becoming a modern Luddite

Written for managers, leaders, and employees at companies of all sizes and in all industries, Monster will help you understand and take control of technology's powerful role in your life and your organization.

"Pithy insights and recommendations on helping tech fulfill its potential as a force for good."
ā€”Erik Brynjolfsson, Director of the Stanford Digital Economy Lab and co-author of The Second Machine Age

"A bracing new book about some of the most pressing questions of our time."
ā€”Carl Benedikt Frey, Oxford Martin Citi Fellow at Oxford University and author of The Technology Trap

ā€”Daniel H. Pink, author of WHEN, DRIVE, and TO SELL IS HUMAN

ā€”Francisco D'Souza, former CEO and Vice Chairman of Cognizant
