Introduction. A new civilizing process? -- Digital divides and the emerging digital literacy -- Blogging the city -- Software tolerance in the land of dissidence -- Archiving the future -- Conclusion. Pierre Ménard's heirs.
In a world largely divided between giddy celebrants and dire detractors of digital culture, the author is one of the very few who speak with informed and measured authority about what the rise of the digital means. Doueihi argues that digital culture is or will be kin to religion in the scope of its influence and power, and that because of its omnipresence it requires special analysis. This book is the culmination of his deep and far-reaching attempts to meet this need.
