[Air-L] Google "imperialism"

Hi, i am currently writing a small and general public article about the importance of Google and its "imperialism", both economically and in our daily Internet practices. I am thinking now about covering the monopolistic tendencies of Google as well as some concerns around privacy issues. i will be happy if anybody can refer me to more extensive and academic work that has already been done around Google. Of course, any other ideas are also welcome!
