The world of 5G, the next generation of telecommunication technology, will be as different
from what came before as the world after the advent of electricity. The massive amounts
of data we'll be able to stream through fiber-optic connections will enable a degree
of virtual presence that will radically transform health care, education, urban administration
and services, agriculture, retail sales, and offices. Yet all of those transformations
will pale in comparison to the innovations that we can't even imagine today. In a
fascinating account combining legal expertise with compelling on-the-ground reporting,
Susan Crawford reveals how the giant corporations that control cable and internet
access in the United States use their tremendous lobbying power to tilt the playing
field against competition, holding back the infrastructure improvements necessary
for the country to move forward. And she shows how a few cities and towns are fighting
monopoly power to bring the next technological revolution to their communities
