Summary:

A history of the Internet traces its rise from a technological novelty to the essential utility of the Information Age to consider how society takes for granted a basic component that it barely understands, distilling the Internet's evolution into nine essential areas of understanding to lend insight into the information economy and how it can be more effectively used.
