​The Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy
​(Cambridge University Press, 2023)

​The book argues that, while privacy and data protection law are implicitly grounded on concepts from agreements between individuals, in light of AI harms we need to ground them on concepts of non-exploitation. It proposes a plan to build accountability into the information economy for individual and group AI harms.
It won the 2024 Canadian Book Club Awards for best book in nonfiction/education and was was a finalist for The Donner Prize 2024 and The Inner Temple Book Prize 2025.
