The Future of the Internet--And How to Stop It (Hardcover)

"This book is fundamental. It will define the debate about the future of the Internet, long after we haven''t stopped it. Absolutely required reading."-Lawrence Lessig, Professor, Stanford Law School, and author of Free Culture and The Future of Ideas (Lawrence Lessig 20080531)

"This remarkably researched and highly entertaining book is a must-read for all who take the ubiquitous nature of the Internet in our everyday lives for granted. The future of the internet is NOT a positive one, unless we all work collaboratively to ensure its lasting success. Zittrain's analysis is first-class and should be widely heeded by leaders from all sectors of society."-Dr. Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman and Founder of the World Economic Forum (Dr. Klaus Schwab 20080701)

"The most compelling book ever written on why a transformative technology''s trajectory threatens to stifle that technology''s greatest promise for society. Zittrain offers convincing road maps for redeeming that promise."-Laurence H. Tribe, Carl M. Loeb University Professor and Professor of Constitutional Law, Harvard Law School (Laurence H. Tribe 20081203)

"Jonathan Zittrain does what no one has before-he eloquently and subtly pinpoints the magic that makes Wikipedia, and the Internet as a whole, work. The best way to save the Internet is to turn off your laptop until you''ve read this book."-Jimbo Wales, Founder, Wikipedia (Jimbo Wales )

"A superb and alarming discussion, from one of the most astute and forward-looking analysts of the Internet. Zittrain explains how the glorious promise of the Internet might not be realized-and points the way toward reducing the current risks. Absolutely essential reading."-Cass Sunstein, Karl N. Llewellyn Distinguished Service Professor of Jurisprudence, The University of Chicago Law School, and co-author of Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness (Cass Sunstein )

"A useful starting point to understanding the choices that lie ahead."-Richard Waters, Los Angeles Times (Richard Waters Los Angeles Times )

"The Future of the Internet identifies and analyzes many of the key issues, obstacles, and tradeoffs that will define our future."-Science (Science )

"In the web counterrevolution that Jonathan Zittrain foresees, users will lose the ability to control content, companies will gain the power to censor data, and security will trump innovation. It''s a gloomy scenario that his new book Future of the Internet, says is already underway."-Katie Baker, Newsweek (Katie Baker Newsweek )

"The thrust of Zittrain''s book is that the shift back toward sterile technology cannot be entirely avoided, though the dangers can be mitigated. . . . Ignore Zittrain''s warnings and we may prove his forecast right."-Paul Starr, The American Prospect (Paul Starr The American Prospect )

"This book is a must-read for any student of technology and policy, and its prescriptions are a must-do for the future of innovation in the digital age."-Hal Abelson, American Scientist (Hal Abelson American Scientist )
