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 aspectsInternet industrySocial aspects.InternetSocial aspects.338.7/6102504COM021030COM051300bisacshVaidhyanathan Siva1022369MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911092190703321The Googlization of everything4767380UNINA05935oam 2200817I 450 991114354420332120251117092538.01-135-65035-71-283-84144-41-135-65028-40-203-71520-9978020371520810.4324/9780203715208(CKB)2670000000277172(EBL)1075210(OCoLC)823380434(SSID)ssj0000811640(PQKBManifestationID)11495129(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000811640(PQKBWorkID)10851012(PQKB)11185646(OCoLC)823252176(MiAaPQ)EBC1075210(Au-PeEL)EBL1075210(CaPaEBR)ebr10628885(CaONFJC)MIL415394(FINmELB)ELB133012(FlBoTFG)9780203715208(EXLCZ)99267000000027717220180331e20111965 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrPolitical systems and the distribution of power /edited by Michael Banton1st ed.Abingdon, Oxon ;New York, N.Y. :Routledge,2011.1 online resource (184 p.)Routledge library editions.

The focus was on government and the presence or absence of state institutions. Recently, interest has shifted to the study of power, to examining the manipulation of political relations, and to the task of elaborating a classification of governmental systems that will throw light on the important problems for research.
