I have just completed the reading, I will highly recommend it and it has useful information. The book was reviewed by Vint Cerf, the founder of the Internet.

This book distills decades of technological evolution — from ARPANET and packet switching, to AI, Web3, quantum networks, and beyond — into a clear, engaging narrative accessible to both technical and non-technical readers ** *What the Book Covers* * *The Past:* How Cold War research, ARPANET, and packet switching gave birth to the Internet we know today. * *The Present:* The intricate roles of ISPs, backbone providers, cloud infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, and global governance shaping our daily online experiences. * *The Future:* Insights into 5G/6G, blockchain, immersive technologies, quantum security, and the Internet in 2050. With *49 detailed chapters*, the book provides a definitive yet approachable reference for students, professionals, policymakers, and curious readers alike. My mission with /The Internet Ecosystem/ is to make the Internet’s complexity understandable — showing not only *how* the Internet works, but also *why* it matters and has become one of the most transformative human inventions — while sparking dialogue on how we build a secure, inclusive, and sustainable digital future. In the 21st century, understanding the Internet is not optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re a business leader, policymaker, educator, student, or everyday Internet user, this book provides the context and clarity you need to navigate the opportunities and challenges of our connected world. ** *Get Your Copy* /The Internet Ecosystem/ is now available: https://payhip.com/b/hfvYg Thank you, Best Regards, Nikesh B.
