Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission-"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible"-and its much-"ed motto, "Don't be evil." In this provocative book, Siva Vaidhyanathan examines the ways we have used and embraced Google-and the growing resistance to its expansion across the globe. He exposes the dark side of our Google fantasies, raising red flags about issues of intellectual property and the much-touted Google Book Search. He assesses Google's global impact, particularly in China, and explains the insidious effect of Googlization on the way we think. Finally, Vaidhyanathan proposes the construction of an Internet ecosystem designed to benefit the whole world and keep one brilliant and powerful company from falling into the "evil" it pledged to avoid.Internet industrySocial aspectsInternetSocial aspectsalgorithms.china.critical thinking.cyber.data mining.data.digital archive.digital culture.digital information.digital sociology.digital world.digitization.google book search.google.information age.information technology.intellectual property.internet safety.internet.media.personal information.politics.popular culture.privacy.private marketing.science and ethics.science.social issues.social media.technology and society.technology ethics.technology.Internet industrySocial aspects.InternetSocial aspects.338.7/6102504Vaidhyanathan Siva1022369MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791560703321The Googlization of everything3695971UNINA
