Sommario/riassunto

Through the lens of culture, The Internet of Elsewhere looks at the role  of the Internet as a catalyst in transforming communications, politics,  and economics. Cyrus Farivar explores the Internet's history and  effects in four distinct and, to some, surprising societies-Iran,  Estonia, South Korea, and Senegal. He profiles Web pioneers and surveys  the environments in which they each work. Farivar contends that despite  California's great success in creating the Internet and spawning  companies like Apple and Google, in some areas the United States is  still years behind other nations.<
