Can the Secretariat please block this sender, and at the very least strip all 
URLs from this thread on Orbit? They’ve been spamming this link to a number of 
mailing lists in an effort to generate sales, which I’m pretty sure goes 
against the spirit of the Policy SIG, and possibly the CoC?

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.

Subject: Launch of The Internet Ecosystem Book

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.
