Who Controls The Internet? by Tim Wu, Jack Goldsmith
Illusions of a Borderless World
This insightful book delves into the complex and evolving dynamics of internet governance, exploring the tension between the borderless nature of the internet and the traditional sovereignty of nation-states. The authors argue that while the internet was initially perceived as a global, unregulated space, governments have increasingly asserted control over online activities within their jurisdictions. Through a series of case studies and historical analysis, the book illustrates how legal, political, and cultural forces shape the internet, challenging the notion of a universally free and open digital world.
