商品簡介
Arguing that the rise of the digital world is on par with the historical role of religion in society, Doueihi, a professor of literature at the Univeriste Laval, Quebec, presents this discussion of the broader implications of ubiquitous digital culture. The work examines the differences and similarities between digital and print cultures, the use of digital mediums for the transmission and stifling of dissent and the effects of universal authorship on the construction of knowledge. The work would be of interest to students of intellectual history and the philosophy of the digital age as well as interdisciplinary technologists.
