Born in Belarus, raised in Bulgaria, and now living in Barcelona, the 33-year-old writer became so annoying to the United States\u2019 techno-elite that Hillary Clinton\u2019s former top digital adviser called him a \u201cneo-Luddite.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Former Yahoo fellows and Stanford scholars like him are supposed to found Silicon Valley startups. Morozov tackles them to the ground instead. His mantra: There is \u201cno digital paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/politico-28-2018-who-to-watch\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/P28-2018-ad-image-1colorE21-380x222.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Long before Brussels and other European capitals woke up to the dark side of digital, Morozov had turned his baleful gaze on the social, economic and privacy implications of recent technological breakthroughs. As the behavior and business models of American tech giants come under ever harsher spotlights, Morozov \u2014 who most likely will have gotten there first \u2014 will be somebody to watch.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey offer all sorts of services for free,\u201d he says of the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter. But \u201cwe do not see the other end of the deal\u201d \u2014 the thirst for clicks and likes, the concentration of so much private data in corporate hands.<\/p>\n<p>One of the reasons Morozov\u2019s punches hurt when they land: He thinks big. The \u201cGreat Firewall of China\u201d is not a tool to suppress free expression (though it does); it\u2019s protectionism in its purest form, he says. Beijing\u2019s path to tech dominance, helping China create massive companies like TenCent and Alibaba, has left Europe, with its digital floodgates wide open, reminiscing about Skype and Nokia.<\/p>\n<p>Morozov\u2019s most far-reaching prediction is that the effects of the digital revolution will one day feel similar to those of climate change. Cars, air-conditioners and mass-market goods shuttling across global supply chains are great to have. But \u201c30 years later the bill arrives, and you don\u2019t know what to do with it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Check the full listing of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/list\/politico-28-2018-ranking\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">POLITICO 28 Class of 2018<\/a>, and read an explanation of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/politico-28-2018-who-to-watch\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">what this ranking means<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/p28_2018_grid_gif_steps_ALL-TOGETHER_E_simple.gif\"\/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/list\/politico-28-2018-ranking\/evgeny-morozov\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><!--more--><\/p>\n<p> [contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/> <\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t call Evgeny Morozov an early adopter \u2014 unless you\u2019re t..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27629,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27628","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
