An exciting challenge to how the internet and ICT have been
understood in academia and popular culture and shows how important
cultural assumptions are in how we understand technology. The
Internet, Power and Society argues that the way in which we view
technology such as the internet owes much to older, historic views
of the media and to issues in contemporary society. Such
perspectives are deeply rooted in a Western view of technology and
the book concludes by offering a radically new perspective as to
how the internet can change a society that is truly global in its
application.
An original approach to ICT and the Internet that challenges the
orthodoxyVery topical subject matter - the book addresses many of
the issues regarded of key import in high level political
discussions (such as the World Summit on the Information Society);
the current understanding of ICT and how to move beyond this
interpretationAn approach that moves the debate forward and offers
a truly global way of understanding the Internet and ICT"
