For my new book I’ve created an index based upon key concepts rather than trying to include everything and everyone that’s mentioned. Hence there’s no reference to Facebook, Twitter or Google in the index, but plenty of references to drivers and consequences. In a sense the result is an edited word cloud, although I got a few surprises. For instance, it’s no shock that algorithms feature, but quite a surprise that ‘meaning’, ‘reality’ and ‘money’ do. This isn’t quite the final version.
