Laura Bates explains how the future was built—and women were forgotten in it. "A compelling and necessary read... I urge you to read every syllable" - Jo Brand. "All men should read this book if they care about a truly fair, equal, and just society" - Robin Ince.

The new age of sexism brings a seismic shift in how our society operates. Could this mean a future revolutionized with equal terms for women and marginalized groups everywhere? Not if we don't fight for it. Right now, power remains primarily in the hands of a few wealthy, white men.

New technologies driven by artificial intelligence, with misogyny embedded in their design, put women at risk, their rights and safety sacrificed on the altar of profitability and destructive speed. In this book, author and activist Laura Bates takes us deep into the heart of this rapidly evolving world. She explores the metaverse, tackles deepfake pornography, travels to online brothels, tests chatbots, and hears from schools gripped by online sexual abuse, showing how our lives—from education to work, from sex to entertainment—are infiltrated by easily accessible technologies that change the way we live and love.

What she discovers is a wild west where existing forms of discrimination, inequality, and harassment are coded into the future we will all have little room to choose—unless we seize this moment to demand change. Striking, brave, and enlightening, The New Age of Sexism reveals a phenomenon we can no longer ignore.

Our future is at risk. We need immediate action before it's too late. "An urgent read for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and gender equality, and definitely for anyone who wants to be part of creating a better future, free from misogyny" - Emma-Louise Boynton. "An exceptionally researched, incredibly enlightening, and often chilling report on the next chapter of technology's ongoing assault on our core values. A chapter already unfolding around us" - James O'Brien.
