The Players Ball: A Genius, a Con Man, and the Secret History of the Internet's Rise by David Kushner
5.0
This book is a fantastic and wild ride through the true story of the battle over the internet domain Sex.com
Kushner is a great writer, the story is told briskly but also thoroughly and it illuminates not only how some internet concepts were born (like subscription services, payment portals, domain names being protected property) but it’s also a wild tale about the two visionary men at odds who helped give birth to the internet as we know it today. Well worth the read, it is incredible.
