[Title] The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires [Author] Tim Wu [Rating] ★★★★ [Year] 2010 [Read] 2010/01/01 [Review] 
His Cycle is a convincing paradigm. I already knew a lot of it from Lawrence Lessig and related copyright books & writings, but Tim Wu puts the history together nicely, and renders the 2000s a little clearer (not that I really needed to be told that Apple/Jobs are a clear incarnation of the empire-building trend; this was obvious even when Neal Stephenson pointed it out many years ago in “In The Beginning Was The Commandline…” )
