The Digital Sublime : Myth , Power
نویسنده
چکیده
Myth, Power, and Cyberspace: When faced with these three words, what image comes to mind? Could the world conceived in the popular science-fiction movie ‘The Matrix’ be a likely illustration? The enormous potential of the Internet is, to some extent, predicted in this movie by its subtle integration of Myth, Power, and Cyberspace. Such potential can also be seen from the all-around penetration of the Internet into our daily lives. People are especially enthusiastic nowadays about Information Technology – as reflected by the sustained zeal in investing in dotcom companies even after the Internet crash of 2000. Within this background, Vincent Mosco’s new book ‘The Digital Sublime: Myth, Power, and Cyberspace’ attempts to offer a different approach by interpreting these three elements in light of the background of the digital era.
