From privacy to cyberattacksthis timely book is a useful guide for how to navigate the digital future.” —Walter IsaacsonFrom Microsoft's president and one of the tech industry's broadest thinkersa frank and thoughtful reckoning with how to balance enormous promise and existential risk as the digitization of everything accelerates.Microsoft President Brad Smith operates by a simple core belief: When your technology changes the worldyou bear a responsibility to help address the world you have helped create. This might seem uncontroversialbut it flies in the face of a tech sector long obsessed with rapid growth and sometimes on disruption as an end in itself. While sweeping digital transformation holds great promisewe have reached an inflection point. The world has turned information technology into both a powerful tool and a formidable weaponand new approaches are needed to manage an era defined by even more powerful inventions like artificial intelligence. Companies that create technology must accept greater responsibility for the futureand governments will need to regulate technology by moving faster and catching up with the pace of innovation.In Tools and WeaponsBrad Smith and Carol Ann Browne bring us a captivating narrative from the cockpit of one of the world's largest and most powerful tech companies as it finds itself in the middle of some of the thorniest emerging issues of our time.

There are huge ramifications for communities and countries, and Brad Smith provides a thoughtful and urgent contribution to that effort.
