Reviews

"This thought-provoking book achieves a rare balance between alarmism and hope in regard to the Internet, surveillance and big data in the current information order. Using rich examples of digital creativity in indigenous communities in different parts of the world, the authors open up new ways of imagining creativity, community and justice in the era of digital informatics."
Arjun Appadurai, New York University "Combining ethnographic sensibility with theory-driven critique and interventionist approaches, Srinivasan and Fish urge us to finally discard technospeak and platform centrism, and to rediscover the internet as an open network of people and places. A very timely and important book."
Patrick Vonderau, Stockholm University "In their engagingly written new book, Srinivasan and Fish boldly challenge the myths and dominant narratives, and offer a new way of seeing of the internet, "after the internet". The book is a venturesome and inspiring statement of the need to bring people and their voices back in a new, better, more inclusive internet."
