A New Yorker and Fortune Best Book of the Year
Analyzing the strategic maneuvers of today's great information powers-Apple, Google, and an eerily resurgent AT&T-Tim Wu uncovers a time-honored pattern in which invention begets industry and industry begets empire. It is easy to forget that every development in the history of the American information industry-from the telephone to radio to film-once existed in an open and chaotic marketplace inhabited by entrepreneurs and utopians, just as the Internet does today. Each of these, however, grew to be dominated by a monopolist or cartel. In this pathbreaking book, Tim Wu asks: will the Internet follow the same fate? Could the Web-the entire flow of American information-come to be ruled by a corporate leviathan in possession of "the master switch"? Here, Tim Wu shows how a battle royale for Internet's future is brewing, and this is one war we dare not tune out.Binding Type: Paperback

Love the look
Color: Mk Signature/Brown/Acorn, Color: Mk Signature/Brown/Acorn
This product was ordered, shipped, and arrived in a fairly quick matter. The packaging was extra carful, had been wrapped, styrofoam, etc. There is no duster bag which is kind of a bummer. It is a pretty bag which will be used as a purse, not so much for travel considering it’s extra small. It even has a luggage tag, which is so cute. The quality feels authentic and comes with actual MK tags. Very happy with this item, has plenty of space for a purse and a long strap to use as a cross body. Not my usual style so I wouldn’t personally pay the price being asked, but it is reasonable considering.

You're Gonna Love This Purse!!
Size: One Size, Color: Black
A beautifully made purse that is a perfect size for night or day. Metal features are lovely and I really like the option of a hand held bag or a shoulder bag. It is not what I would call a LARGE bag despite the product description.
