The Splinters of our Discontent - by Mike Godwin (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The legal and social choices we have to make right now will determine our future, which is why we have to recognize what aspects of social media and big tech platforms like Google and WhatsApp need to be fixed... and what needs to be saved.

Author Mike Godwin gives you the answers you need--the decisions before us aren't always easy, but we can all take the right path by understanding the technologies, our own history with mass media, and the people using both to their advantage.

No matter what, it's all coming fast. This book will make you ready for what lies ahead.

Review Quotes

"Online speech is at the center of some of the most critical policy debates, and the United States lacks a clear direction for future regulation, or lack thereof. Mike Godwin's new book provides vital and clear insight, informed by history and analysis that only he could provide."

Jeff Kosseff, author, The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet

"When Mike Godwin talks, people should listen. He's been thinking about online power and user rights for longer than almost anyone, he remembers things the rest of us have forgotten, and he's wicked smart."

Daphne Keller, Director of Intermediary Liability;, The Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School
