How is society being reshaped by the continued diffusion and
increasing centrality of the Internet in everyday life and work?
Society and the Internet provides key readings for students,
scholars, and those interested in understanding the interactions of
the Internet and society. This multidisciplinary collection of
theoretically and empirically anchored chapters addresses the big
questions about one of the most significant technological
transformations of this century, through a diversity of data,
methods, theories, and approaches. Drawing from a range of
disciplinary perspectives, Internet research can address core
questions about equality, voice, knowledge, participation, and
power. By learning from the past and continuing to look toward the
future, it can provide a better understanding of what the
ever-changing configurations of technology and society mean, both
for the everyday life of individuals and for the continued
development of society at large. This second edition presents new
and original contributions examining the escalating concerns around
social media, disinformation, big data, and privacy. Following a
foreword by Manual Castells, the editors introduce some of the key
issues in Internet Studies. The chapters then offer the latest
research in five focused sections: The Internet in Everyday Life;
Digital Rights and Human Rights; Networked Ideas, Politics, and
Governance; Networked Businesses, Industries, and Economics; and
Technological and Regulatory Histories and Futures. This book will
be a valuable resource not only for students and researchers, but
for anyone seeking a critical examination of the economic, social,
and political factors shaping the Internet and its impact on
society.
