Who Owns The Internet & How It Owns Us | James Ball | Modern Wisdom Podcast 213

James Ball is a writer, journalist & Pulitzer Prize winner. The internet is more than the website you browse... it's real wires under the Atlantic, humans who have a big red button that can turn everything off, superbuildings with server centres, and a philosophy of freedom of information that we're moving further away from.
