The early internet's excitement and optimism, the outsider cyberpunk mentality, and open access are all explored in Towards a Digital Renaissance. However, it also keeps an eye on today's more complicated but ultimately more commercialised internet world, which is dominated by corporate enterprise and where many people feel that surveillance has gotten out of control. Jeremy Silver became the CEO of Digital Catapult as a result of his participation in numerous start-ups as an investor and CEO. The interaction between public and private financing in the digital industry is examined in Towards a Digital Renaissance. Additionally, it makes the case that the internet has the ability to transform from a "mediaeval" society dominated by the GAFA big four (Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple), which is walled off and locked off like mediaeval city states, to a "digital renaissance" based on the free flow of ideas.
