内容简介
······

Will cyberanarchy rule the net? And if we do find a way to regulate our cyberlife will national borders dissolve as the Internet becomes the first global state? In this provocative new work, Jack L. Goldsmith and Tim Wu dismiss the fashionable talk of both a 'borderless' net and of a single governing 'code'. Territorial governments can and will, they contend, exercise significant control over all aspects of Internet communications. Examining policy puzzles from e-commerce to privacy, speech and pornography, intellectual property, and cybercrime, Who Controls the Internet demonstrates that individual governments rather than private or global bodies will play that dominant role in regulation. Accessible and controversial, this work is bound to stir comment.

评论 ······

掐头去尾的看了一下，回应了网络使世界扁平化、去国界、网络自治等早期的乐观主义。作者认为由于文化、语言、硬件等原因，网络仍受到地理，特别是国界的强烈影响。这一方面是网络商业需要迎合上述有地里有关的因素，更重要的是主权国家的强制力一直努力在塑造网络，控制信息的自由传播。技术决定论不过是幻想罢了，而ebay无需政府的所谓自发秩序完全忽视了其信用、商业都依赖政府权力的保障…

以前还挺喜欢吴修铭写的书，但是作为学术书籍，这种论述和结论都太保守。

本国政府、外国政府、跨国公司、工程师、黑客。全球化和信息化背景下，不同行为体利益诉求和交织，政府仍然管理着互联网的边界，同时在跨国互联网事件处理中扮演最重要的角色。精彩的故事表现了网络扁平化和边界化的张力。
