Many technologies and practices that define the Internet today date
back to the 1990s - such as user-generated content, participatory
platforms and social media. Indeed, many early ideas about the
future of the Internet have been implemented, albeit without
fulfilling the envisioned political utopias. By tracing back the
technotopian vision, Clemens Apprich develops a media genealogical
perspecive that helps us to better understand how digital networks
have transformed over the last 30 years and therefore to think
beyond the current state of our socio-technical reality. This
highly original book informs our understanding of new forms of
media and social practices, such that have become part of our
everyday culture. Apprich revisits a critical time when the
Internet was not yet an everyday reality, but when its potential
was already understood and fiercely debated. The historical context
of net cultures provides the basis from which the author critically
engages with current debates about the weal and woe of the Internet
and challenges today's predominant network model.
