Captive Audience by Susan Crawford
Ten years ago, the United States stood at the forefront of the Internet revolution. Using the 2011 merger between Comcast and NBC Universal as a lens, this book examines how we have created the biggest monopoly since the breakup of Standard Oil a century ago.
"'Captive Audience: The Telecom Industry and Monopoly Power in the New Gilded Age offers a calm but chilling state-of-play on the information age in the United States.. If you are looking for the answer to why much of the developed world has cheap, reliable connections to the Internet while America seems just one step ahead of the dial-up era, her office - or her book - would be a good place to find out.' (David Carr, The New York Times) 'With an appealing blend of earnestness and feistiness, Crawford is set on turning the sorry state of broadband and wireless services in the United States into the biggest populist outrage since Elizabeth Warren went after banks.' (John B. Judis, The New Republic)"
