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.

Packaging
I love the idea of Turmeric soap the package needs big improvement. Really do not like that the seal on the box are not sealed. I get that the box is wrapped in plastic for shipping, but I just don't like the unattached seal. But I decided to keep it and just pray it doesn't break me out. At least this time the soap wasn't loose in the package.

don't buy
its propaganda 😹 I used both bars consistently and saw no changes. I mean if you wanna use it to find out for yourself just for satisfaction go ahead but at the end of the day its a waste of money. it also makes your skin feel like rubber once you rinse it off. guys just learn to love yourself the way you are 🤘
