The Internet is a complex environment that affords many practices
while constraining others. The challenge is to develop languages
and tools to critically engage with these environments and to
navigate the topology of being a citizen in a technologically
mediated environment. This book begins this undertaking. A New
Theory of Information & the Internet first documents the
historical emergence of the scientific, mathematical, computing,
and human communication discussions on information, together with
the rise of information as a resource and a commodity. It posits
that the contemporary situation has not changed in terms of
resolving exactly what information might be as a real thing. What
has changed is the idea of information as a resource and a
commodity, which has become a cultural trope - a standard way of
looking at information. In the process of examining the
understanding of information and communication, this book
investigates the notion of an informed citizenry and the
possibilities of a public sphere/s online within the context of the
increasingly ubiquitous place of the Internet in social,
informational life.
