Опис

An accessible, comic book-like, illustrated introduction to how the internet
works under the hood, designed to give people a basic understanding of the
technical aspects of the Internet that they need in order to advocate for
digital rights.

The internet has profoundly changed interpersonal communication, but most of
us don't really understand how it works. What enables information to travel
across the internet? Can we really be anonymous and private online? Who
controls the internet, and why is that important? And... what's with all the
cats?

How the Internet Really Works

answers these questions and more. Using clear language and whimsical
illustrations, the authors translate highly technical topics into accessible,
engaging prose that demystifies the world's most intricately linked computer
network. Alongside a feline guide named Catnip, you'll learn about:

The "How-What-Why" of nodes, packets, and internet protocols

Cryptographic techniques to ensure the secrecy and integrity of your data

Censorship, ways to monitor it, and means for circumventing it

Cybernetics, algorithms, and how computers make decisions

Centralization of internet power, its impact on democracy, and how it hurts
human rights

Internet governance, and ways to get involved

This book is also a call to action, laying out a roadmap for using your
newfound knowledge to influence the evolution of digitally inclusive, rights-
respecting internet laws and policies.

Whether you're a citizen concerned about staying safe online, a civil servant
seeking to address censorship, an advocate addressing worldwide freedom of
expression issues, or simply someone with a cat-like curiosity about network
infrastructure, you will be delighted -- and enlightened -- by Catnip's
felicitously fun guide to understanding how the internet really works!
