Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
Tim Wu came to law by way of science and writing. Born in Washington, D.C., he was raised between Canada and Switzerland in a family of immigrant immunologists; his father was from Taiwan, his mother from England, and the household expected a scientific career. At McGill, he studied science before turning to Harvard Law School, where a cyberlaw class taught by Lawrence Lessig redirected him toward the emerging politics of the internet. Clerkships with Richard Posner and Stephen Breyer, a brief stint in Silicon Valley, and an early teaching post at the University of Virginia gave him a vantage point that mixed theory, technology, and institutions before he joined Columbia Law School in 2006.
