The System: Who Owns the Internet, and How It Owns Us by James Ball

4.0

Not sure how a complete layman would fare with this book but it does a valiant attempt at explaining everything as simple as possible and has a glossary at the end to boot. I was also unfamiliar with a lot of things touched there but I at least have degree in computer sciences, when I imagine a random family member reading it I think they'd be still a little lost.

Still, It is the best resource I've seen yet about this subject at least. Could it be simplified further? Probably, but I don't know how. Maybe cut out the history and just focus on the immediate stuff that impacts the end user..? That would be quite a different book however..
