Tim Wu’s The Master Switch is a work of popular legal, business, and media history that examines how American communications industries repeatedly move from experimental openness toward concentrated private control. Published in 2010, the book connects the histories of the telephone, radio, film, television, and the Internet to ask who ultimately controls the channels through which people speak, learn, and receive culture. Wu, a legal scholar associated with the term net neutrality, argues that technological novelty does not by itself preserve freedom or competition. New media often begin with many inventors, users, and business models, then become organized around dominant firms that seek stability, exclusive control, and political protection. The book’s purpose is therefore both explanatory and cautionary. By tracing recurring struggles over infrastructure, content, devices, and regulation, Wu shows why the Internet should not be assumed immune to the monopolizing tendencies that shaped earlier media. Its central concern is the relationship between industrial structure and democratic freedom of expression.
