'Offers a rare note of wisdom and common sense, on an issue overwhelmed by digital utopians' Malcolm Gladwell
We were promised that the internet would set us free. From the Middle East's 'twitter revolution' to Facebook activism, technology would spread democracy and bring us together as never before.
We couldn't have been more wrong. In The Net Delusion Evgeny Morozov shows why internet freedom s an illusion. Not only that - in many cases the net is actually helping oppressive regimes to stifle dissent, track dissidents and keep people pacified, with companies such as Google and Amazon helping them do it.
This book shows that free information doesn't mean free people - and that, right now, everyone's liberty is at stake.

Extremely Informative
Evgeny Morozov has, very candidly, written about the various aspects of sharing information (especially via Twitter) and how the Governments do or do not regulate such information. So when you think that Twitter caused a national revolution, Think again!
All in all, a great book that is extremely detailed.
Also, amazing customer sevice from Flipkart as usual!
