Nick Clegg talks to Decca Aitkenhead

How to Save the Internet

 
Winter Weekend 2025, 

As both a former British deputy prime minister and president of global affairs at Meta, Sir Nick Clegg has the authority and expertise to understand the ever-uncertain world we’re rapidly heading towards: online and offline.

In his book How to Save the Internet, Clegg looks at what is happening to the internet as democracies seek to rein in the power of Big Tech, and the most powerful tool ever created for bringing the world together risks being dismantled.

Clegg speaks to acclaimed journalist and broadcaster Decca Aitkenhead about the relationship between governments and big technology. With behind-the-scenes insights at Number 10 and at Meta, Clegg offers up a clear understanding of our online future, from why we need to keep the internet’s openness and whether Big Tech can be reformed, to how to stop AI and political conflict from stymying progress. Join us for this unmissable conversation as we open Winter Weekend 2025.
