Networks Without a Cause
A Critique of Social Media
Geert Lovink

http://politybooks.com/book.asp?ref=9780745649672

"This book proposes a new kind of memory for the computer:
counter-memory, revisiting recent pasts, deep presents and near-miss
futures, always challenging us to ask of, and to invent, the nature of
networks."

Matthew Fuller, Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths, University of
London

"Geert Lovink is our Tin Tin. Like that canny adventurer, he travels
the world discovering new frontiers of both folly and invention. In
place of Tin Tin's trusty dog Snowy, he takes with him a quick wit and
independent mind. He has a detective's eye for the real story behind
the bright assurances of twenty-first-century networked culture."

McKenzie Wark, professor of culture and media, The New School, and
author of Gamer Theory

Publishing February 2012 - 240 pages
