Jonathan Taplin is the author of Move Fast and Break Things, a bracing account of how the internet has been captured by the big tech companies. Taplin, himself with thirty years’ experience in the music and film industry, tells the story of how a number of libertarian entrepreneurs, with roots in the writings of Ayn Rand, created the three giant monopolies – Google, Facebook and Amazon – that now determine the future of all our media industries.  During his stay in Amsterdam Taplin was interviewed by the NRC/Handelsblad (in Dutch).
