You don't see Google and Amazon paying a token donation to most foreign governments as a failure of tax structure? I don't know how old you are, but I am in my 40s, therefore I can remember the days when companies didn't decide how much tax they would pay to a particular country.
The second point, as I said I summarised because I couldn't handle your annoying gif, which is off screen now, so I will elaborate.
They talk very specifically about forums, and platforms like this; they are also being very particular when talking about the networks, and who exactly will be best placed to take advantage of them.
Humans have always been doing that whether we talk about trade networks or online ones. Nothing new.
The new concept is humans that do not have any special privilege or are involved with huge legislated organisations.
You as an individual, can order things from China, and trade in a way you simply would not have been able to, up until very recently.
I am a member of a forum, which is invite only, which swaps tactics and tricks in order to get the best deals and products when purchasing from China. This is the type of thing that Netocracy confidently predicted would happen. If I know about that one, there are 100s of others I don't know about.
I'm sure that you in your infinite, hindsight-fed wisdom, saw this as an obvious progression in 2000, however for the rest of the planet, nobody saw that coming. Netocracy did.
Look it's fine, you don't like the book and feel strongly enough to troll me about it; however I will stick by what I wrote, as ultimately, the book was a huge part of the journey I'm on now. I'd go as far to say it's a reason why I'm heading in the direction I'm heading in now, and why I'm making money on and off Steemit.

Google and Amazon do pay taxes to their host country. They are part of the monetary exchange system and actually pay way more taxes than you think.
Platforms and Forums are even described in Science Fiction books of the 1950's. Again no prediction there. One can only connect the dots. As long as online communication existed it would't take much to predict that whatever activity was happening outside, will happen inside the cyberspace.
Actually everybody saw it coming. You are just shilling a book for re-marketing the obvious. I wrote a paper similar to this book back in 2001 for a philosophy class. I got the idea from Arthur C. Clark.
I am not trolling you about the book. I am pointing out your historical gaps that made you think that the book was an original idea. It is not. Most of it has been said during the 1990's.
Here is an extra something to chew upon
(I changed the picture above. Posted a book to see how much copy-pasta your book has)
