The Great Chinese Firewall

Imagine that you find yourself in a world without the internet. Nowhere to upload a photo, no one to share a funny picture with, nowhere to quickly get the information you need. It seems that such a situation is practically... impossible today, but sometimes it results from a single decision and a few button presses. The internet started as a growing oasis of freedom nurtured by enthusiasts, but since then it has been learned to be managed - by both states and large corporations. The phrase "the internet remembers everything" has taken on a second meaning - content has become controlled, the illusion of anonymity has disappeared, and any careless message can create a lot of difficulties for the author. The book tells how China was the first in the world to learn to control the internet and how other countries adopted its experience.
