The book attempts to make a solid first pass at elucidating and explaining the role of contract in Internet governance. It contains two case studies: lex Facebook and the contractual regime managed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. The basic thesis advanced is that Internet governance by contract has become so hierarchical and complex that it suffers from some of the weaknesses commonly seen with legislation. Its vaunted advantages in enabling simple, light touch, flexible regulation are eroding because of over-exploitation of its ability to micro-manage digital affairs.
