Description
Is the Internet erasing national borders? In this provocative new book, Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu tell the fascinating story of the Internet’s challenge to governmental rule in the 1990s, and the ensuing battles with governments around the world. In a decade of events the original vision is uprooted, as governments time and time again assert their power to direct the future of the Internet. Far from destroying the Internet, the experience of the last decade has lead to a quiet rediscovery of some of the oldest functions and justifications for territorial government.
