The Internet Myth: From the Internet Imaginary to Network Ideologies

Paolo Bory, "The Internet Myth: From the Internet Imaginary to Network Ideologies "
English | ISBN: 1912656752 | 2020 | 168 pages | EPUB | 5 MB

The Internet Myth retraces and challenges the myth laying at the foundations of the network ideologies – the idea that networks, by themselves, are the main agents of social, economic, political and cultural change.
