Tangled Web We Weave

This is an extremely readable, compelling, and valuable book that looks beyond the usual focus on social media companies, the bad behavior of trolls, and the costs of the attention economy to explore what the internet is actually made of, how it came to be what it is today, and who controls a piece of the infrastructure. This would be a valuable assigned reading for any course that focuses on the internet and society - or for anyone who simply wants to get a better grasp of what we're talking about when we talk about the internet. I think this may be one of the most useful, informative, and entertaining books on the subject.
