From the Preface...

The more we use the contemporary digital network, the less economic value it is bringing to us. [...] Rather than creating more competition, it has created immensely powerful new monopolies like Google and Amazon.

Review of 'The Internet Is Not the Anwer' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

A critical look at the top mega corporations that now control the Internet and the increasing divide between the 1% and the rest. Probably too much credit is given to these companies as the root cause, but important questions asked and probed.

A good perspective that regardless of all the Silicon Valley disruption speak, these new top companies are not all that different than the previous mega corporations. Summary: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss"

I'd probably give an additional star, but the book definitely comes at it with an agenda and negative bias towards Silicon Valley, and is deliberately provocative throughout. It reads well, but definitely written in a more personal style, like a really long Medium post.
