The book explores the intertwined evolution of the American Empire and the communications industry after WWII. It highlights how government support has facilitated the spread of corporatized information globally, often masked by rhetoric about "free-flow of information." Schiller enriches his narrative with personal experiences, reflecting on his upbringing during the Great Depression, his role in post-war Berlin, and his journey as a radical journalist and academic. This unique perspective offers insights into the complex dynamics of power, technology, and information in modern society.
