The web we weave : why we must reclaim the Internet from moguls, misanthropes, and moral panic
Jarvis, Jeff, 1954-2024
Books
This title provides a bold defense of the internet, arguing that attempts to fix and regulate it are often misguided. The internet stands accused of dividing us, spying on us, making us stupid, and addicting our children. In response, the press and panicked politicians seek greater regulation and control, which could ruin the web before we are finished building it. Jeff Jarvis is convinced we can have a saner conversation about the internet. Examining the web's past, present, and future, he shows that most of the problems the media lays at the internet's door are the result of our own failings.
