I recently finished reading a book published one year
ago,
written by Vittorio Bertola and Stefano Quintarelli.
Unfortunately, it is only available in Italian, but its title perfectly encloses all the topics
it covers: The shattered Internet: digital sovereignty, nationalisms, and big
techs. Like me, Vittorio and Stefano are among the relatively few early users and
participants of the primeval internet network of the 90s, even before the World
Wide Web was conceived. This book is a disenchanted and realistic travel in the
story of the Big Network and how it has become a broken dream today in many
respects.
