Description
Geert Lovink's Networks Without a Cause offers a critical analysis of our collective obsession with identity and self-management in online culture. This path-breaking work examines the social and cultural ramifications of popular online services, including search engines, online video, blogging, digital radio, media activism, and the Wikileaks saga.
Through case studies and his long history in media research, Lovink probes the political structures and conceptual powers embedded in the technologies that shape our daily lives. He argues for a collective critical capacity to influence technology design and workspaces, ensuring we don't disappear into the cloud.
This book provides a powerful message for media practitioners and theorists, highlighting the need for critical analysis of online culture and its impact on society.
