Lewis explores the internet’s early days and how it empowered individuals and amateurs over traditional institutions and experts. Using a series of vignettes, the author reveals how the internet was already beginning to disrupt long-established professions and industries.

A 14-year-old child successfully manipulates the stock market, demonstrating how readily available information challenged the mystique and authority of investment professionals.
A 19-year-old contributes to the disruption of the music business, showing how the internet changed content distribution.
By decentralizing information, the internet eroded the power and mystique of professions like lawyers and investment gurus.
The book also considers the broader consequences of this rapid change, from the decay of old institutions to the unsettling of traditional perceptions of the future
