<div>I have received the same email on multiple mailing lists. Too much cross-posting makes it look like spam. I’ve read that book too. There’s a page in the book mentioning that it was reviewed by Vint Cerf. Below is Vint Cerf’s reply as well. Honestly, the book is interesting and has some great content. Just my two cents.</div>

<div>I did review the "book" - it has an outline-like feel to it but I thought it did a pretty good job of picking up high points of the history. I didn't think there were too many major gaffes. Others might not agree, depending on their personal stories and experiences.<br/>

Given the credentials listed, you can come to your own conclusions as to the review below.<br/>
<br/>
However, I do discourage cross-posting; it just hits the same people on different lists.<br/>
<br/>
Vint can speak to whether he actually reviewed the book; unless that claim is false, this is a viable post to this list.<br/>

<div>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.</div>

<b>Subject:</b> Launch of The Internet Ecosystem Book</div>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>Dear Community,<br/>
<br/>
I am thrilled to announce the launch of my book, <b>The Internet Ecosystem</b> — a comprehensive exploration of the history, architecture, governance, and future of the Internet.</div>
<div>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</div>
<div><b> </b></div>
<div><b>What the Book Covers</b></div>
<ul>
<li><b>The Past:</b> How Cold War research, ARPANET, and packet switching gave birth to the Internet we know today.</li>
<li><b>The Present:</b> The intricate roles of ISPs, backbone providers, cloud infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, and global governance shaping our daily online experiences.</li>
<li><b>The Future:</b> Insights into 5G/6G, blockchain, immersive technologies, quantum security, and the Internet in 2050.</li>
</ul>
<div>With <b>49 detailed chapters</b>, the book provides a definitive yet approachable reference for students, professionals, policymakers, and curious readers alike.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My mission with <i>The Internet Ecosystem</i> is to make the Internet’s complexity understandable — showing not only <b>how</b> the Internet works, but also <b>why</b> 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.</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><b> </b></div>
