Internet jest powszechnie uważany za „królestwo wolności”. Częste są opinie, że w internecie można opublikować wszystko i że nikt nad tym nie panuje, że technologia ta nie pozwala na sprawowanie jakiejkolwiek kontroli nad ludźmi. W książce takie przekonania zostają podane w wątpliwość. Dziś internet nie tylko nie wspiera wolności, lecz wręcz na wiele sposobów ją ogranicza. Umożliwia prowadzenie inwigilacji, kontroli i nadzoru na niespotykaną dotąd skalę. Sformułowane w tej pracy tezy są udokumentowane na podstawie wielu źródeł, a także badań własnych.

The absolute power of the professor, excessive administration and feudal subordination mean that such universities have lost touch with the local environment, and have become a factory for graduates with a random education. Power games and resentment have replaced the search for scientific truth, which in turn means that such institutions are practically invisible in the rankings, because of the lack of significant achievements. This situation has led to proposal here of a redefinition of the function of the university, based on a thorough analysis of needs of all its various groups of stakeholders.
