Synopsis

Regain Control Over Your Data, Devices, and Freedom

How do you value your private data? What about your job? The truth is someone is selling your data, and your job may be among the countless others being lost to AI at record rates. Because of this abuse of technology among many others, most people have lost all agency over their technology, devices, and information. But technologist William Welser IV has a plan to help us regain control.

Enter The Story Economy, a guide that provides fresh purchasing power in a world where opportunity feels harder and harder to grasp. Within, Welser outlines the need for an alternative economy where stories can become solutions to overwhelming new problems. His entirely new marketplace allows us to use our stories as currency, putting the data we’ve voluntarily given to good use—allowing us to purchase goods and services and giving us the power to see exactly where our data is going and to whom.

In this exciting and sometimes scary world of AI, Big Tech is using all of its tools against us to create a society in which we’re lonely, broke, and lost. We must take back our power and make the technology work for us to close the healthcare, education, and wealth divide—and in the process, foster self-awareness to help us become astute decision-makers and stay ahead of technology. With The Story Economy, Welser provides the innovative blueprint to get started.
