![]() He studied political science at Yale and, after a short stint as a civil rights attorney in New York, settled in 2016 in New Haven, where he began a career as a writer of young adult fiction, video games, comic books and now adult fiction. ![]() Born in Northampton, Massachusetts, to Nigerian immigrants, he grew up in New Britain and Newington and often visited cousins in New Haven.

Tim Wu is an author, policy advocate and professor at Columbia University, currently serving as Senior Advisor to the United States Federal Trade Commission. By fighting vertical integration, a “Separations Principle” would remove the temptations and vulnerabilities to which such entities are prone. He advocates “not a regulatory approach but rather a constitutional approach” that would enforce distance between the major functions in the information economy-those who develop information, those who own the network infrastructure on which it travels, and those who control the venues of access-and keep corporate and governmental power in check. ![]() To Wu, subjecting the information economy to the traditional methods of dealing with concentrations of industrial power is an unacceptable control of our most essential resource. According to Columbia professor and policy advocate Wu (Who Controls the Internet), the great information empires of the 20th century have followed a clear and distinctive pattern: after the chaos that follows a major technological innovation, a corporate power intervenes and centralizes control of the new medium-the “master switch.” Wu chronicles the turning points of the century’s information landscape: those decisive moments when a medium opens or closes, from the development of radio to the Internet revolution, where centralizing control could have devastating consequences. ![]() ![]() Still, when Havenwood is rocked by a series of mysterious deaths, Ella Mae must put romantic longings aside-especially when she realizes that the mystical symbols left at each crime scene are dangerously personal.
