Opis

Drawing from law, science and technology studies, cultural studies, and information studies to develop a complex theory of information power and institutional change, Between Truth and Power is a tour de force of ambitious interdisciplinary scholarship that has the potential to transform the entire field of scholarship on the Internet and society.

Recenzje

Julie Cohen, a legal scholar, is the latest to undertake the challenge of charting that process for an information-driven culture. While her book follows on other ambitious, synthesizing work such as Shoshana Zuboff's The Age of Surveillance Capitalism and Nicolas Suzor's Lawless, it uniquely offers a detailed look at how the rise of powerful information intermediaries operates within and with the active assistance of legal, regulatory and political systems.
