Slave New World: how google apple and facebook created your inescapeable matrix

The digital ecosystem created by tech giants like Google, Apple, and Facebook (now Meta) is vast and deeply integrated into the daily lives of billions of people worldwide. These companies have developed and interconnected a range of products, services, and platforms that extend across various aspects of technology, from hardware and software to services and digital content. This pervasive ecosystem is not only influential but also transformative, shaping how people communicate, access information, conduct business, and interact with the digital world.

Google has built a vast and multifaceted ecosystem primarily around its search engine, which remains its core product and the gateway to information for most of the internet's users. However, its ecosystem extends far beyond search:

Google Search is the world’s most popular search engine, handling over 90% of global search queries. Its advertising platform, Google Ads, is deeply integrated into its search engine, allowing businesses to reach targeted audiences effectively. This ad-driven revenue model fuels much of Google's expansion into other areas.

Android, the mobile operating system developed by Google, powers the majority of the world’s smartphones, giving Google significant influence over mobile app ecosystems, data collection, and user interactions with digital content.
