520 _aIn the provocative book, Ramesh Srinivasan describes the internet as both an enabler of frictionless efficiency and a dirty tangle of politics and economics. We may love the immediacy of Google search results, the convenience of buying from Amazon, and the elegance and power of our Apple devices, but it's a one-way, top-down process. We're not asked for our input--only for our data. Srinivasan focuses on the disconnection between designers and users, producers and consumers, and the tech elites in Silicon Valley and China and the rest of us.
