A New Yorker and Fortune Best Book of the Year
Analyzing the strategic maneuvers of today's great information powers-Apple, Google, and an eerily resurgent AT&T-Tim Wu uncovers a time-honored pattern in which invention begets industry and industry begets empire. It is easy to forget that every development in the history of the American information industry-from the telephone to radio to film-once existed in an open and chaotic marketplace inhabited by entrepreneurs and utopians, just as the Internet does today. Each of these, however, grew to be dominated by a monopolist or cartel. In this pathbreaking book, Tim Wu asks: will the Internet follow the same fate? Could the Web-the entire flow of American information-come to be ruled by a corporate leviathan in possession of "the master switch"? Here, Tim Wu shows how a battle royale for Internet's future is brewing, and this is one war we dare not tune out.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect for precise and stylish measuring
Color: Bright Silver, Size: 4.1 Ounces, Color: Bright Silver, Size: 4.1 Ounces
This small stainless steel measuring cup exceeded my expectations. The material feels sturdy, high-quality, and has a sleek finish. It's also lightweight yet sturdy, making it comfortable to use.
The tapered shape and front spout make pouring liquids easy and spill-free, and the wooden handle adds a beautiful and sophisticated touch. Plus, it stays cool to the touch when used with hot liquids.
It's ideal for measuring coffee, cooking ingredients, or cocktails. Very practical, easy to clean, and doesn't retain odors. In short: a simple yet beautifully designed utensil, useful for everyday use, and of excellent quality. I highly recommend it!

Perfect Little Espresso Cup
Color: Bright Silver, Size: 4.1 Ounces
I’m really impressed with these 4oz espresso cups. The bright silver finish looks premium, and the wooden handle feels sturdy and comfortable to hold—no worries about heat transfer. The double spouts make it super easy to pour shots cleanly into two cups or split a double shot without mess.
The size is perfect for single or double shots, and it doubles nicely as a small measuring cup for my coffee bar setup. It feels durable and well-made, and it definitely adds a bit of flair to my espresso routine.
Overall, great quality for the price. Highly recommend for home baristas!

Handle Came Off
Color: Bright Silver, Size: 4.1 Ounces, Color: Bright Silver, Size: 4.1 Ounces
Excellent for pulling espresso shots, looked great, no rusting... until the welded handle just popped off after a few months with hand washing only.
