[continued from previous message]

Internet age. In short, we are living in a "crisis moment" -- one
ironically experienced by many of us while stuck at home.

Many have diagnosed these symptoms and proposed policy solutions, but few
have done the hard work of rummaging around in the Internet's history to
find the roots of the problems -- and almost none have taken a truly long
view. In "The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is", Justin E. H. Smith, a
philosopher and historian of science, argues that we've been much too
narrow-minded in our understanding of the Internet. In presenting a longue
durée history, he challenges our assumptions about what the Internet is
and what we're doing when we're on it. Only by understanding the
Internet's long history -- by understanding the circumstances in which the
Internet's many parts were conceived -- can we, he claims, take back
control of our lives and shape the Internet in a way more conducive to
human flourishing.
