Summary:
"
How
a small group of libertarian entrepreneurs began in the 1990s to hijack the original decentralized vision of the Internet, in the process creating three monopoly firms -
Facebook
,
Amazon
and
Google
- that now determine the future of the music, film, television, publishing and news industries. A succinct and powerful history of
how
online life began to be shaped around the values of the men who founded these companies, including Peter Thiel and Larry Page: tolerating piracy of books, music and film while at the same time promoting opaque business practices and subordinating privacy of individual users to create the surveillance marketing monoculture in which we now live. The stakes in this story go far beyond the livelihood of any one musician or journalist. As Taplin observes, the fact that more and more Americans receive their news, music and other forms of entertainment from a small group of companies poses a real threat to
democracy
. A prescription for
how
artists can reclaim their audiences using knowledge of the past and a determination to work together. Taplin offers new ways to think about the design of the World Wide Web and specifically the way we live with the firms that dominate it"--Provided by publisher.
