Evgeny Morozov is een leidende stem die de complexe relatie tussen technologie en samenleving onderzoekt. Zijn werk onderzoekt kritisch hoe het internet de mondiale politiek vormgeeft en conventionele ideeën over vooruitgang uitdaagt. Morozovs inzichtelijke analyse biedt een genuanceerd perspectief op het digitale tijdperk en spoort lezers aan om de diepgaande implicaties van onze onderling verbonden wereld te overwegen.
Looks at the shape of society in the digital age, of the direction in which the 21st Century may take us. From urging us to drop outdated ideas of the internet to showing how to design more humane and democratic technological solutions, this title is about why we should always question the way we use technology.
Our gadgets are getting smarter. Technology can log what we buy, customize what we consume and enable us to save and share every aspect of our existence. In the future, we're told, it will even make public life - from how we're governed to how we record crime - better. But can the digital age fix everything? Should it? By quantifying our behaviour, Evgeny Morozov argues, we are profoundly reshaping society - and risk losing the opacity and imperfection that make us human.
Does free information mean free people? At the start of the 21st century we were promised that the internet would liberate the world. In 'The Net Delusion', Evgeny Morozov destroys this myth, arguing that 'internet freedom' is an illusion, and that technology has failed to help protect people's rights.
