«Internet no és la resposta» is the essay by journalist Andrew Keen, published by Catedral in hardback (384 pages).
Andrew Keen questions the internet as a utopia: its economy is based on surveillance and on the free labour of users, who give their data to Google, Facebook or Instagram. Keen describes a narcissistic and unequal society, where image and avatar weigh more than reflection, and concludes that this digital future is neither desirable nor inevitable.
Translation by Jordi Marrugat. First edition published by Catedral in May 2016. Recommended reading age: 18 and up.
For readers interested in technology, sociology and current debates on privacy and the power of digital platforms.
Andrew Keen is a British-American entrepreneur and author. He is particularly known for his view that the current Internet culture and the Web 2.0 trend may be debasing culture, an opinion he shares with Jaron Lanier and Nicholas G. Carr among others. Keen is especially concerned about the way that the current Internet culture undermines the authority of learned experts and the work of professionals.
