As a researcher, I have never come across a highly intensive and inclusive book like "The Internet Ecosystem". The book englobes the whole Internet Ecosystem with the correct information compared to misleading information from blogs/wikipedia on the Internet. This book was reviewed by Vint Cerf. I have just completed the reading, I will highly recommend it and it is nice to have a copy to keep for reference.

Dear Community,
I am thrilled to announce the launch of my book, The Internet Ecosystem — a comprehensive exploration of the history, architecture, governance, and future of the Internet. This book distills decades of technological evolution — from ARPANET and packet switching, to AI, Web3, quantum networks, and beyond — into a clear, engaging narrative accessible to both technical and non-technical readers
What the Book Covers
The Past: How Cold War research, ARPANET, and packet switching gave birth to the Internet we know today. The Present: The intricate roles of ISPs, backbone providers, cloud infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, and global governance shaping our daily online experiences. The Future: Insights into 5G/6G, blockchain, immersive technologies, quantum security, and the Internet in 2050.
With 49 detailed chapters, the book provides a definitive yet approachable reference for students, professionals, policymakers, and curious readers alike.
My mission with The Internet Ecosystem is to make the Internet’s complexity understandable — showing not only how the Internet works, but also why it matters and has become one of the most transformative human inventions — while sparking dialogue on how we build a secure, inclusive, and sustainable digital future. In the 21st century, understanding the Internet is not optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re a business leader, policymaker, educator, student, or everyday Internet user, this book provides the context and clarity you need to navigate the opportunities and challenges of our connected world.
