Om denne bog
** Featured as a Guardian Long Read **''[A] fast-paced, myth busting exposé'' Max Blumenthal, author of The Management of Savagery''Contentious... forceful... salutary'' The New YorkerEVERYTHING WE HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC NATURE OF THE INTERNET IS A MARKETING PLOY.As the Cambridge Analytica scandal has shown, private corporations consider it their right to use our data (and by extension, us) which ever way they see fit. Tempted by their appealing organisational and diagnostic tools, we have allowed private internet corporations access to the most intimate corners of our lives.But the internet was developed, from the outset, as a weapon.Looking at the hidden origins of many internet corporations and platforms, Levine shows that this is a function, not a bug of the online experience. Conceived as a surveillance tool by ARPA to control insurgents in the Vietnam War, the internet is now essential to our lives. This book investigates the troubling and unavoidable truth of its history and the unfathomable power of the corporations who now more or less own it.Without this book, your picture of contemporary society will be missing an essential piece of the puzzle.''A masterful job of research and reporting about the military origins of the ''world wide web'' and how its essential nature has not changed in the years since its creation during the Cold War.'' - Tim Shorrock, author of Spies For Hire
