Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle For Internet Freedom

I started off pretty straightforwardly by going through Amazon using any search terms that I thought could even be tangentially related to information societies. From here, I came up with a couple of initial choices: "Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die", "The New Digital Age: Transforming Nations, Businesses, and Our Lives", and "Consent of the Networked: The Worldwide Struggle For Internet Freedom". The books all seemed interesting to me on a personal level, but "Predictive Analytics" was too tenuously related to the subject and "The New Digital Age" seemed less well reviewed and far less popular on WorldCat (despite having more ratings on Amazon and Library Thing).

So I ended up on "Consent of the Networked", which talks about Internet technology's role in civil liberties and the relationship it has with governments. There were only a few academic resources on the book available online, and most were in the form of short blurbs for librarians to use. However, the topic seems rather interesting, and the concept of "internet freedom" is one that comes up all too often today.
