Více o knize

Focusing on the impact of the Internet, this collection of essays delves into its effects on international security, civil society, and economic development. Contributors challenge conventional wisdom by examining unexpected developments, such as the risks posed by connecting Russia's nuclear scientists online and the potential failures of Internet-enabled development projects in places like Bangalore. The essays aim to provide a realistic perspective on the often overly optimistic predictions for global politics in the Information Age.
