I have't done much more than skim it, but this Internet Manifesto seems interesting and intriguing:

It's surprising how many people equate "the Internet" with "social media". It's like having access to 1,000,000x the Library of Alexandria every day, and only being interested in keeping up with what people are talking about in the lobby.
