{"product_id":"the-googlization-of-everything-and-why-we-should-worry-9780520272897","title":"The Googlization of Everything: (And Why We Should Worry)","description":"In the beginning, the World Wide Web was exciting and open to the point of anarchy, a vast and intimidating repository of unindexed confusion. Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission-\"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible\"-and its much-quoted 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Siva Vaidhyanathan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/13\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.97h x 6.06w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520272897\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSiva Vaidhyanathan\u003c\/b\u003e is the Robertson Family Professor of Media Studies and Law and Chair of the Department of Media Studies at the University of Virginia, and the author of \u003ci\u003eCopyrights and Copywrongs: The Rise of Intellectual Property and How It Threatens Creativity\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Anarchist in the Library: How the Clash between Freedom and Control Is Hacking the Real World and Crashing the System\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40973351583859,"sku":"9.78052E+12","price":24.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_bb1f99a7-ef91-4d07-9e63-894846cef87e.jpg?v=1695825988","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-googlization-of-everything-and-why-we-should-worry-9780520272897","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
