Finally reading Ohanian's "Without Their Permission." It's fun to read, but the animating idea—the fundamental equality and opportunity of the internet ("all links are created equal")—was already shopworn in 2013. It's a fossil now.
It would be great if someone like Ohanian, or a thought-leader like Shirky or Weinberger, dug deep and analyzed how and why so much went wrong, to put alongside the many descriptions of things going right.
