Description
The internet infrastructure that underpins our modern world is a force to be reckoned with. In "Eaten by the Internet", a collection of contributions from researchers, activists and techies, this complex network is explored as a site of political power. From the global politics of content moderation to the colonialism inherent in the development of internet infrastructure, this book tackles some of the most pressing issues surrounding our reliance on the internet. Topics include the role of internet infrastructure in shaping public speech, economic production and social cohesion, as well as its impact on the environment and local communities. By examining the ways in which internet infrastructure shapes our world, "Eaten by the Internet" challenges us to think critically about the consequences of our digital lives and how we can ensure that this powerful technology serves humanity rather than the other way around.
