Technology and the Public Interest

'It's hard to imagine a more timely intervention. In this important and urgent volume, prominent intellectual property scholar Haochen Sun sets out a compelling case for recognition of the human right to technology and a blueprint for defending that right against the assaults of Big Tech.' Barton Beebe, John M. Desmarais Professor of Intellectual Property Law, New York University School of Law
'In this foundational book, Haochen Sun builds a new vision of corporate social responsibility in the digital era. He uncovers a nearly forgotten human right to the benefits of science, and argues that technology companies need to better ensure broad distribution of the benefits of technology.' Anupam Chander, Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Law and Technology, Georgetown University Law Center
'As backlash against leading technology firms grows, it is time to think big about the future governance of intellectual property and internet platforms. Technology and the Public Interest more than meets the challenge, offering a comprehensive vision for law and policy to promote fundamental corporate responsibilities to protect and promote human flourishing. Sun's first-rate work squarely addresses contemporary concerns like COVID vaccine disparities, while developing a normative framework of lasting relevance. Read this important book for an erudite and inspiring perspective on technology governance.' Frank Pasquale, Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School
'... a quick, engaging, succinct, and timely work ... Highly recommended.' R. I. Saltz, Choice
