It isn't the big things Peter does that make Dana want to leave him; it's more the smaller things, like sticking her inside his pocket in the middle of a thought?these demeaning, shrinking things he does that make her feel as trivial as a sneeze.? Dana Catrell leads a quiet life in a suburb a stone's throw from Manhattan. She spends her days tidying, reading, missing her son who's away at college, and wondering what went wrong in her marriage to her husband, Peter, who comes home late most nights and makes her feel as unimportant as a pocketful of loose change.Then on one horrific day, Celia?Dana's friend and neighbor?is found murdered . . . and Dana's life suddenly begins to spiral out of control as she feels herself sliding toward the brink of insanity.

The world of fiber optic connections reaching neighborhoods, homes, and businesses will represent as great a change from what came before as the advent of electricity. The virtually unlimited amounts of data we'll be able to send and receive through fiber'optic connections will enable a degree of virtual presence that will radically transform health care, education, urban administration and services, agriculture, retail sales, and offices. Yet all of those transformations will pale in comparison to the innovations and new industries that we can't even imagine today. In a fascinating account combining policy expertise with compelling on'the'ground reporting, Susan Crawford reveals how the giant corporations that control cable and internet access in the United States use their tremendous lobbying power to tilt the playing field against competition, holding back the infrastructure improvements necessary for the country to move forward. And she shows how a few cities and towns are fighting monopoly power to bring the next technological revolution to their communities.
