Our society has gone through a weird, unremarked transition: we've gone from regarding the Net as something exotic to something that we take for granted as a utilitarian necessity, like mains electricity or running water. In the process we've been remarkably incurious about its meaning, significance or cultural implications. Most people have no idea how the network works, nor any conception of its architecture; & few can explain why it has been
- & continues to be
- so uniquely disruptive in social, economic & cultural contexts. In other words, our society has become dependent on a utility that it doesn't really underst&. John Naughton has distilled the noisy chatter surrounding the internet's relentless evolution into nine clear-sighted & accessible areas of understanding. In doing so he affords everyone the requisite knowledge to make better use of the technologies & networks around us, & see lucidly into their future implications.
