Wes Kussmaul launched the consumer Internet with his founding of Delphi in 1981, twelve years before he sold the company to Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. In this groundbreaking book he shows how a plantation owner has you living your digital life in the shack out back of their mansion, claiming ownership of your personal information assets, ie claiming ownership of you. He shows that of all of those plantations, Arpanet III is the most dangerous – and that there's a good chance you're on it!
Wes then shows how the Personal Information Ownership Component of the Quiet Enjoyment Infrastructure lets you escape the plantation, delivering the long-sought goal of personal ownership and control of information about yourself.
