在第二次世界大戰之前，”禮義之邦”不接受中西婚姻，不論是在英國還是中國。Kong確實於1881年與倫敦的Alice Walkden結婚。有人認為這是有史以來第一次英中婚姻。儘管已經有一些關黑人嫁給白人的消息，而白人與巴基斯坦結婚等等，幾乎沒有關於西方人嫁給中國人的文章。由丹·沃特斯（Dan Waters）博士研究和撰寫，他以自身經歷過半個世紀這樣的婚姻，《One Couple Two Cultur

如何突破被科技巨獸掌控的社群平台？知名媒體評論家從心理到技術創意的分析和陪伴，帶你重新奪回你的網際網路！唐鳳 推薦林穎資（烏特列支大學地理系、INC客座研究員）黃豆泥（分散自治與數位主權探求者，前數發部工程師） 黃祥昀（哲學與社會學背景的策展人與創作者）專文推薦社群平台衍生各式難解的困境，大至結構制度失衡的雲端封建主義，小至個人層次的doomscrolling（像殭屍一樣，盲目地滑動捲動，不再意識到自己在做什麼）。在資訊超載的失序狀態下，我們越來越自戀，越來越習慣公開談論自我的內心，也越來越憂鬱。不僅如此，我們還越來越容易受到陰謀論和假新聞的影響，也容易被引戰。我們都意識到這個現象，卻奮不顧身、持續被社群平台綁架，不論是心甘情願或放棄抵抗。這一切不是我們自恃不足，更多是平台本身Sad by Design （你的悲傷是被設計出來的）。曾經，網際網路許諾了一個光明的未來，是人類追求平等解放的道路。結果卻在歷史洪流的發展中，轉變成問題的一部分，無法扭轉從自身蘊生的破壞力。在當今生態、經濟、金融危機相互交織、彼此影響的「危機的堆疊」裡，網際網路的失敗更加深了危機的不可解。設計，不然就等著被設計（program or be programmed）！作者是歐陸知名媒體理論家，也是網絡文化研究所（Institute of Network Cultures）的創始人。他從哲學和媒體理論的觀察出發，綜論各種變革的可能間隙，實驗各種可能的替代平台，他認為我們得放棄一體適用的解決方案，轉而尋求一系列多樣化、因地制宜的網路工具，來協助完成特定的工作。任何天馬行空的想像力都是起點。在本書裡，作者探討網際網路的困境，診斷我們目前所處的停滯階段，同時也探問如何「解困」，把平台變得不那麼平台。作者認為社群平台已經凌駕原先網際網路的角色，我們必須等待時機，將這兩者適當區分開來，以修復破碎的網路，建立「會面點」。社群平台的目的是進行經濟交流和搾取數據，「會面點」的目的則是創造共通性。「會面點」可以有千千萬萬個跳躍連結，然而在扁平而缺乏深度的社群平台裡，可能性非常有限。在這個故事裡，終極解決之道並不是替代平台的崛起，而是群眾奪回鄉民的能動性與對網際網路的想像力。集體退散卡住眾生的平台，轉而建立自主協作，創造連結動能的網絡。行動的第一步，始自對於數位衰退的深刻理解。【推薦語】本書金句不斷，將許多我們日常中
