For many people across the world, the internet has delivered on its promise to radically accelerate access to information. But it's become increasingly clear that we don't have the ideal version of a singular internet that early enthusiasts might have hoped for. For our latest field guide, "Welcome to the splinternet" Quartz asked executives, researchers, and policy advisers to help us imagine the experiences of internet users across the world five years from now, based on the present-day battles between tech giants, politicians, and internet freedom fighters that are shaping our online future.
Take advantage of our free week of Quartz membership to read the guide and learn more about the new, more intense era of the internet's fragmentation, the risks and opportunities that could emerge from a splinternet, and how to stay connected.
