In the space of one election cycle, authoritarian governments, moneyed elites and fringe hackers figured out how to game elections, bypass democratic processes, and turn social networks into battlefields.

Facebook, Google and Twitter - where our politics now takes place - have lost control and are struggling to claw it back. Prepare for a new strain of democracy.A world of datafied citizens, real-time surveillance, enforced wellness and pre-crime. Where switching your mobile platform will have more impact on your life than switching your government. Where freedom and privacy are seen as incompatible with social wellbeing and compulsory transparency.As our lives migrate online, we have become increasingly vulnerable to digital platforms that sell your attention to the highest bidder. Our laws don't cover what is happening and our politicians don't understand it. But if we don't change the rulebook now, we may not get another chance.
