Internet Ecosystem
In the beginning, the World Wide Web was exciting and open to the point of anarchy, a vast and intimidating repository of unindexed confusion. Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission - "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible" - and its much-quoted motto, "don't be evil."
In this provacative book, the author examines the ways we have used and embraced Google - and the growing resistance to tis expansion across the globe.
"A brilliant meditation on technology, information and consumer inertia, as well as an ambitious challenge to change how where, why, and what we Google." ~ Dahlia Lithwick, Slate Magazine
