Why Readers Pick This Edition
- You’ll love this book for how urgently and clearly it explains a world-shaping conflict most of us only sense in fragments. Drawing on firsthand experience inside Google, it pulls back the curtain on cyberwar, disinformation, and the quiet battle over the internet’s very infrastructure. You’ll come away better informed, slightly unsettled, and far more aware of how deeply technology now shapes freedom, power, and democracy in your everyday life.
