keeping the internet empire under control
Virtual business is here to stay. The book Internet Empire: The Hidden Digital War explains how the internet expansion of US companies has been like that of traditional empire building from an economic perspective. This has yielded substantial benefits to the US economy.

He then shares ways that we can change our own behavior to make the internet economy better for our individual and collective future.
