Wikileaks, flashmobs and the Arab Spring don't reveal that "we" lost
control of the Internet and that "our" traditions, institutions and
freedoms are threatened because of that.

The book's table of contents tells a much better story, e.g.:

RULE 5: YOU ARE THE FREEDOM OF THE OTHER

RULE 6: PLATFORM CONTROL IS POWER

RULE 7: THE STATE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM, NOT OF THE SOLUTION

RULE 8: DATA CONTROL CREATES HEGEMONY
