In this powerful and necessary book, James Ball sets out on a global journey into the inner workings of the system. From the computer scientists to the cable guys, the billionaire investors to the ad men, the intelligence agencies to the regulators, these are the real-life figures powering the internet and pulling the strings of our society. Ball brilliantly shows how an invention once hailed as a democratising force has concentrated power in places it already existed – that the system, in other words, remains the same as it did before.

The story of Penguin Books, Allen Lane and how they changed the world, to celebrate the 90th anniversary of Penguin An invaluable and fascinating account NICK HORNBY Outstanding LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS A triumph . . . rich and humorous ROGER LEWISBy founding Penguin Books in 1935 and popularizing the paperback, Allen Lane not only changed publishing in Britain â “ he was also at the forefront of a social and cultural revolution.

This is the spellbinding story of how a complex, highly fallible man used his vision to change the world. Rakish and racy . . . tells the story not just of a man, or even a firm, but of a cultural makeover that shaped the world as we know it DAILY TELEGRAPH
