Moving from the development of the internet as a publicly funded project in the late 1960s to its full-scale commercialization today, renowned media scholar Robert McChesney traces how the democratizing potential of the internet has been radically compromised by the logic of capitalism and the unaccountable power of a handful of telecom and tech monopolies.

Paperback International Edition, May 5, 2020. She didn’t really describe the characters besides Hollis, Jameson, Silas and Silas’ family. No background story was given to any of them. They don’t have any development during the whole book. There really isn’t a plot, maybe only at the end but I think it was too fast-paced and just put in there to add some action in the book and make sure to have a plot for the sequel, it just didn’t make sense.
