Conflict over information has become a central part of modern
politics and culture. The sites of struggle are numerous, the
actors beyond count. Currents of liberation and exploitation course
through the debates about Edward Snowden and surveillance,
Anonymous, search engines and social media. In Information
Politics, Tim Jordan identifies all these issues in relation to a
general understanding of the nature of an information politics that
emerged with the rise of mass digital cultures and the internet. He
locates it within a field of power and rebellion that is populated
by many interwoven social and political conflicts including gender,
class and ecology. The exploitations both facilitated by, and
contested through increases in information flows; the embedding of
information technologies in daily life, and the intersection of
network and control protocols are all examined. Anyone hoping to
get to grips with the rapidly changing terrain of digital culture
and conflict should start here.
