A incrível internet é um livro dirigido aos jovens adolescentes sobre a internet, a sua origem e várias coriosidades engraçadas. É uma leitura rápida e divertida, e apesar de já ter alguns anos continua a ser interessante, mesmo para os mais crescidos. É engraçado descobrir como surgiu a internet e como algumas das previsões do passado que pareciam ficção científica se tornaram realidade, como a internet sem fios.

Sicuramente datato da leggere nel 2018, contando che fu pubblicato nel 2003. Fa sorridere come alcune "premonizioni" date quasi per scontate negli anni 2000 sembrino ingenue, se non quasi assurde, alla luce delle scoperte dell'oggi e di come la tecnologia si sia evoluta attraverso canali e metodologie allora impensabili. Rimane comunque un volume interessante, sia per conoscere com'è nato l'internet sia per avere un'idea di come lo si vedeva nel momento del suo boom in occidente.
