"The Internet of Things will be a driving economic, political, and cultural, force throughout this century. Shackelford does an excellent job of introducing readers to the many facets and implications of this technology, from how they communicate to how they challenge the global digital ecosystem. Essential reading for anyone who needs to understand our hyperconnected future." -- Bruce Schneier, Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School and author of Click Here to Kill Everybody

"Scott Shackelford's latest book provides an essential contribution to the vital discussion about the impact of technology on society. With reader-friendly prose, he carefully walks readers through the many cybersecurity and privacy issues that arise as we become more dependent on the Internet of Things. Rather than merely outlining the problems that we face, Shackelford presents pragmatic and well-reasoned legal and policy solutions. The Internet of Things is a must-read for policymakers, the business community, and anyone who is concerned about the future of cybersecurity." -- Jeff Kosseff, author, The Twenty-Six Words That Created the Internet and Cybersecurity Law

"Shackelford draws on his voluminous previous writings to inform this readable summary about the Internet of Things. Shackelford has a knack for the interesting, such as his writing about 'Have you updated your toaster?' He brings his encyclopedic knowledge about the topic to address the security, privacy, and ethical challenges and opportunities of the Internet of Things. Any reader with an open mind has much to learn about our future coping with the Internet of Everything." –- Peter Swire, Georgia Institute of Technology
