review 1: An interesting read, entertainingly written turning what could have been dry text into something engaging. I think the author has good arguments backed up with thorough research, but I do tend to agree with his point of view so may not be actively looking for a tear in the fabric. The authors passion for the topic of internet policies to drive political/social agendas comes through vividly.It does get a bit preachy and repetitive in some places detracting from the otherwise steady flow.
review 2: If it were possible, I'd go for 4 and a half stars for this book. It's a very interesting read about the state of internet all around the world but especially in authoritarian countries. While some things are already a bit outdated, it offers a lot food for thought, b... morerings up issues I never even stopped to think about and in general discusses the way we use and talk about internet in a fascinating way. It draws parallels between historical and current events and is a must read for anyone who is interested in politics, current events and/or the internet and its power. It's thoroughly researched and covers the pros and cons of every issue. The only negative thing I have to say is that some of the chapters were a bit too long and might worked better if some things were left out, especially since not all of those things seemed to be fully relevant to what was discussed in the chapter. less
