   Hello All!   
      
   From the back cover of:   
      
    The Tangled Web We Weave: Inside The Shadow System That Shapes   
    the Internet | Hardcover   
      
   We all see what the internet does and increasingly don't like     
   it, but do we know how and more importantly who makes it work     
   that way? That's where the real power lays...   
      
   The internet was supposed to be a thing of revolutions. As that   
   dream curdles, there is no shortage of villains to blame--from   
   tech giants to Russian bot farms. But what if the problem is   
   not an issue of bad actors ruining a good thing? What if the   
   hazards of the internet are built into the system itself?   
      
   That's what journalist James Ball argues as he takes us to the   
   root of the problem, from the very establishment of the   
   internet's earliest protocols to the cables that wire it   
   together. He shows us how the seemingly abstract and pervasive   
   phenomenon is built on a very real set of materials and rules   
   that are owned, financed, designed and regulated by very real   
   people.   
      
   In this urgent and necessary book, Ball reveals that the   
   internet is not a neutral force but a massive infrastructure   
   that reflects the society that created it. And making it work   
   for--and not against--us must be an endeavor of the people as   
   well.
