The Trust Manifesto: What you Need to do to Create a Better Internet by Damian Bradfield
I was intrigued as this was written by the founder of WeTransfer (an amazing site, loved by so many designers/creatives!). I have been thinking a lot about the importance of engaging and working for companies that have strong morals/ values and whose primary aim isn't for exponential growth and high profit margins but rather do good and create change. While the book offers interesting insights into the tech industry with Bradfield talking about WeTranfser while also interviewing several other founders (enjoyed the brief reference to Stephen Fry ;), it becomes repetitive in the end with maybe a bit too much self-praise. The interesting idea of a creating a better internet wasn't explored enough in how it can be done strategically with more realistic actionable steps.
