Without Their Permission: How the 21st Century Will Be Made Not Managed

        When looking for the book I was going to read I went through many searches. These searches ranged from information society, to history of social networks, to Facebook and world. With these searches I managed to narrow it down to three books Without Their Permission: How the 21st Century Will Be Made Not Managed, The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires, and The Network Society. After researching these three books I decided on Without Their Permission: How the 21st Century Will Be Made Not Managed by Alexis Ohanian. 
          This book is 272 pages long and has 4.2 stars out of five on Amazon with 95 customer reviews. While it is quite a bit more expensive than the other books I think it will be worth it because I believe the book will be that much better than the others. I found this book to be in 383 libraries when I searched it on Wildcat. While looking for more reviews I discovered there was 59 reviews for the book on Google books one of which is an editorial review. Lastly on LibraryThing this book has only 29 members. So overall this book may not have as many reviews as the others but the ones it does have are quality and that was very helpful in choosing this book.

  1. The title of the book sounds really interesting and attention grabbing. 272 pages seems like a lot of pages to read but if the book is interesting it might not be too bad. I'm looking forward to reading your review of this book and how it relates to the information society.
