Summary

Supported by high speed connections and a proliferating range of digital devices, from notebook computers to mobile phones, the second generation of the internet (Web 2.0) is providing a platform for an ever expanding range of services and an explosion of user-generated contentùblogs, file sharing, wikis, and social networking. Many commentators see these developments marking the wholesale digital transformation of social life, forgetting that the history of the internet has coincided with a concerted extension of market dynamics, the erosion of public provision, and deepening income inequalities. Taking concrete examples drawn from original research on a range of areasùfrom personal health and home trading in shares to the battle over copyright in the music and film industriesùthe essays collected here explore how digital engagements are shaped by wider social and cultural dynamics and structures of power and how these forces also generate disconnections and exclusions.
