N2  - Barbara Cassin critically examines Google’s role as the dominant gateway to information in the digital age. She argues that Google’s search algorithms create a simplified “one-click democracy” where users rely on instant answers, potentially at the cost of cultural diversity, critical thinking, and democratic debate. The book questions Google’s claim of neutrality and explores the political and philosophical implications of entrusting a private company with shaping global knowledge.
