  • Author Information
Whether in imagination or practice, the promise of networked digital technology has great appeal. With
the expansion of Internet access worldwide it seemed that the economic and political playing field would be leveled. Any user across the world would be able to share his or her own voice.
Yet this hope has been increasingly confounded by a number of sobering realities.
With a compelling style and original premise, After the Internet investigates how a new understanding of ‘the internet’ might change the future. Casting aside perilous myths, Srinivasan and Fish show taht the internet is an made up of many different parts. Knowing this, we must examine what comes after the myth of a single internet. This book rethinks the internet in support of public and progressive ideals, advocating for a public sphere that is complex, diverse, and multifaceted. It recognizes the power of decentralization, where communities are treated as sovereign and respected for their diverse knowledge practices, value systems, and cultural protocols. The authors show inspiring examples across the world whereby communities have reinterpreted networked technology and what this could mean for our digital future.
