Nick Clegg is the former UK Deputy Prime Minister and former President, Global Affairs at Meta. He has had a front seat to two of the biggest power structures globally: Westminster and Silicon Valley.

At Meta, he became the company’s chief policy decision-maker, meeting with world leaders, governments and policymakers around the globe. He has written two best-selling books, Politics: Between the Extremes and How To Stop Brexit (And Make Britain Great Again).

His latest book: "How to Save the Internet” - posits that the global, open internet is fragmenting. The book outlines the global cooperation needed to reform Big Tech and preserve the internet as we know it: from where Big Tech has faltered to the necessary radical reforms ahead...

In this conversation, Tommy sits down with Nick to ask whether tech is actually making us happier, if the evidence on social media and polarization follows the headlines, and why Nick is far more worried about AI and the breakup of the open internet.
