The Internet in Everything Freedom and Security in a World with No Off Switch 2020 Yale University Press The Internet has leapt from human-facing display screens into the material objects all around us. Laura DeNardis argues that this diffusion of the Internet into the physical world radically escalates governance concerns around privacy, discrimination, human safety, democracy, and national security, and she offers new cyber-policy solutions. In her discussion, she makes visible the sinews of power already embedded in our technology and explores how hidden technical governance arrangements will become the constitution of our future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ea8e1480bd5e1f23105e2c/b60350d4-9980-465f-b234-ba33a4743275/Screenshot+2026-02-06+at+3.59.54%E2%80%AFPM.png Books - The Global War for Internet Governance 2014 Yale University Press The Global War for Internet Governance has become the definitive source for understanding the inner power structure already in place within the architectures and institutions of Internet governance. It has been translated into Japanese and Chinese and reviewed favorable in Science Magazine, The History of Science Society journal Isis, Kirkus Reviews, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly, and Technology and Culture. Jonathan Zittrain has said “The Global War for Internet Governance is an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to understand the political intricacies behind Internet protocols and the diverse group of power players vying to influence them.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ea8e1480bd5e1f23105e2c/1569014178358-89KJKHDHRY7TZEV1AXCE/9780262042574.jpg Books - Protocol Politics The Globalization of Internet Governance MIT Press 2009 Explains how the largely hidden world of Internet protocols implicates a host of policy issues related to political processes, civil liberties, and global innovation policy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ea8e1480bd5e1f23105e2c/1569013859466-YBUU8W12063QVT53WV42/%3Fcollid%3Dbooks_covers_0%26isbn%3D9780262016025%26type%3D.jpg Books - Opening Standards The Global Politics of Interoperability MIT Press 2011 Openness is not a given on the Internet. Technical standards—the underlying architecture that enables interoperability among hardware and software from different manufacturers—increasingly control individual freedom and the pace of innovation in technology markets. Heated battles rage over the very definition of “openness” and what constitutes an open standard in information and communication technologies. In Opening Standards, experts from industry, academia, and public policy explore what is at stake in these controversies, considering both economic and political implications of open standards, and recommending a framework for defining openness in twenty-first-century information infrastructures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ea8e1480bd5e1f23105e2c/1569033456590-09JGF5J3IZ73XAQ8DYUE/cover_IT_in_theory.jpg Books - Information Technology in Theory 2007. Information Technology in Theory provides a comprehensive overview of information technologies, identifies and discusses the fundamental principles underlying these technologies, and investigates the reciprocal relationship between these technologies and society. Explains the fundamental principles of how computers work, the mathematical and physical properties underlying digital multimedia creation, networking technologies, and key social issues in network security. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ea8e1480bd5e1f23105e2c/1569033536366-UWC23WO7TMF5F0VF4UZK/The+Turn+to+Infrastructure+Book+Cover.jpg Books - The Turn to Infrastructure in Internet Governance 2016 Palgrave This edited volume brings together global experts to analyze infrastructure's role in Internet governance, both now and in the future. Never in history have conflicts over Internet governance attracted such widespread attention. Much of the Internet governance ecosystem—both technical architecture and coordinating institutions—is behind the scenes but increasingly carries significant public interest implications. An area once concealed in institutional and technological complexity is now rightly bracketed among other shared global issues—such as environmental protection and human rights—that have considerable global implications but are simply incongruous with national borders. This transformation into an era of global governance by Internet infrastructure presents a moment of opportunity for scholars to bring these politicized infrastructures to the foreground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59ea8e1480bd5e1f23105e2c/1631207858919-S8TQ8A6GGI4YYPTKZN8T/Researching+Internet+Governance+Cover.jpg Books - Researching Internet Governance Researching Internet Governance: Methods, Frameworks, Futures 2020 MIT Press Edited by Laura DeNardis, Derrick Cogburn, Nanette S.
