This book looks at questions and answers pertaining to the
organization, usage, and ownership of information in the Internet
age-and the impact of shifting attitudes towards information
ownership on creative endeavors. In the competing traditions of
Marshall McLuhan and Langdon Winner, authors Aaron Barlow and
Robert Leston take readers on a revealing tour of the Internet
after the explosion of the blogosphere and social media. In the
world Beyond the Blogosphere, information has surpassed its limits,
the distinction between public and private selves has collapsed,
information is more untrustworthy than it ever was before, and
technology has exhibited a growth and a desire that may soon exceed
human control. As Langdon Winner pointed out long ago, "tools have
politics." In an eye-opening journey that navigates the nuances of
the cultural impact the internet is having on daily life, Barlow
and Leston examine the culture of participation in order to urge
others to reconsider the view that the Internet is merely a
platform or a set of tools that humans use to suit their own
desires. Provocative and engaging, Beyond the Blogosphere stands as
a challenge on how to rethink the Internet so that it doesn't
out-think us.
