I worked for over 4 months with entrepreneur and online marketing expert John Marshall, as well as several researchers and illustrators, to help shepherd this book to reality. I met virtually with John every week, helping organize his thoughts, establish themes, structure the content, and turn it all into a published and printed reality.
We also distilled the full-length 350+ page book into a shorter 76-page “TL:DR” version for those readers who prefer a primer.
The result is a well-received history of the internet and digital marketing, and how they've evolved into an expectation for free stuff — at the expense of our privacy and security.
