Review of 'America Calling' on 'Goodreads'

Fascinating to read this book in the present moment and think about the rapid adoption of the Internet, and compare how it was different (faster, government regulation) and the same (starting first as a luxury and business tool but quickly becoming mundane; raising promise and fear of destruction of local communities and businesses).
