About the Book

The digital world in the post-Snowden age: we know that we are under surveillance, but we keep on going as if it had no meaning at all. Although businesses like Facebook, Google and Amazon increasingly infiltrate our private sphere, the use of social media remains uninterrupted - supported by ever-smaller devices which have almost irrevocably embedded themselves in our everyday lives. We are thrown to and fro between a fear of dependence and concealed obsession. With this fifth part of his ongoing investigations into critical internet culture, the Dutch media theorist Geert Lovink delves into the paradoxical world of the new digital normality: where is art, culture and critique headed, if the digital is increasingly inserting itself into the background of our everyday lives? This volume deals with topics such as selfie culture, the internet fixation of the American writer Jonathan Franzen, the internet in Uganda, the aesthetics of Anonymous and the anatomy of the bitcoin religion: will the creation of money through cyber-currency and crowdfunding contribute to a new sharing of wealth, or will the cleft between rich and poor actually get bigger? In this age of free access, what will become the income model of the 99%? Geert Lovink does not just draw a striking image of the vacuous reality of 24/7 communication, he also shows radical alternatives to it.

Review :
»Lovink hat etwas zu sagen und will gehört werden. Er positioniert sich dezidiert nicht als konservativer Rufer einer Sehnsucht nach der Vor-Internet-Zeit, sondern als progressiver Provokateur und alternativer Visionär.« Katja Grashöfer, [rezens.tfm], 1 (2018) O-Ton: »Über Techniksucht« - Geert Lovink im Gespräch bei Kulturzeit am 11.04.2018. http: //bit.ly/2HA1Jr7 »Eine anregende Lektüre.« Ariane Rüdiger, iX, 2 (2018) »Lovinks konsequente Ablehnung von Alternativlosigkeit hat etwas Erfrischendes. [...] Sehr gut nachvollziehbare, sehr detailreiche kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den aktuellen Entwicklungen.« Saskia Bell. Communicatio Socialis, 1 (2018) »Die verblüffenden Drehungen und Wendungen Lovinks machen sein Buch lesenswert. Ein gutes Buch, das auch für weniger digitalaffine Leser einen guten Überblick über den Debattenstand gibt.« Adrian Lobe, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 04.12.2017 O-Ton: »Das Internet muss repariert werden« - Geert Lovink im Gespräch beim SRF am 03.11.2017. http: //bit.ly/2zBr6HT »Die gewählten Themen sind hochaktuell und zukunftsorientiert. Aufgrund einer Reihe von neuen Ansätzen mit hoher Relevanz für die sozial-, kultur- und medienwissenschaftliche Forschung kann das Werk Fachkräften entsprechender Disziplinen zur Anregung für aktuelle Forschungsvorhaben empfohlen werden.« merz, 61/5 (2017) »Die Perspektiven [...], die Lovink mit seinem Wissen über die letzten 30 Jahre des Internets aufzeigt, haben das Potential, unsere Sichtweise nachhaltig zu erschüttern.« Axel Weidemann, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 13.09.2017 »Das Buch bringt eine Fülle von Informationen über laufende Entwicklungen im Internet und allgemein in digitalen Kommunikationsnetzen, was es zu einer lesenswerten Neuerscheinung mit neuen Ideen zu einem dynamischen Thema macht.« Peter Dahms, OpernInfo Berlin, 5 (2017) »Lovink zeigt überzeugend, dass sich die derzeitige Stellung der großen Plattformen aus der letzten Vereinfachungswelle unter dem Schlagwort 'Web 2.0' speist. Doch Alternativmodelle scheinen nach einer Phase von gefühlter Ohnmacht heute wieder greifbar zu werden.« Leon Kaiser, netzpolitik.org, 14.07.2017 Besprochen in: iX, 2 (2018), Ariane Rüdiger
