Title: From Anarchy to Power The Net Comes of Age
First published: April 1, 2001
Description: "In From Anarchy to Power, Wendy M. Grossman explores the new dispensation on the Net and tackles the questions that trouble every online user: How vulnerable are the Internet and World-Wide Web to malicious cyberhackers? What are the limits of privacy online? How real is Internet addiction and to what extent is the news media responsible for this phenomenon? Are women and minorities at a disadvantage in cyberspace? How is the increasing power of big business changing Internet culture?".

"We learn about the political community of the Internet including issues of copyright law, corporate control, and cryptography legislation. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on the international dimensions of the Net, focusing on privacy and censorship in the United States, Europe, and Canada and the hitherto ignored contributions of other countries in the development of the Net.

Entertaining and informative, From Anarchy to Power is required reading for anyone who wants to know where the digital economy is heading."--BOOK JACKET.
