论文部分内容阅读
不久前,我收到一份来自加州大学圣地亚哥分校的电子邮件,说在大洋彼岸看完《起来——挑战微软霸权》,对书中的思考和观点深感意外。他特别推荐一本由麻省理工学院(MIT)出版的新作《数字资本主义》(Digital Capitalism),该书作者Dan Schiller就是他的同事,是目前国际上颇为有名的互联网和IT评论家。 初读该书简介,我也大为触动,《数字资本主义》给我们提供了与《数字化生存》截然不同的观点:“互联网绝不是一个脱离真实世界之外而构建的全新王国,相反,互联网空间与现实世界是不可分割的部分。互联网实质上是政治、经济全球化的最美妙的工具。互联网的发展完全是由强大的政治和经济力量所驱动,而不是人类新建的一个更自由、更美好、更民主的另类天地。”
Not long ago, I received an e-mail from the University of California, San Diego, saying that after reading “Get Up - Challenging Microsoft’s Hegemony” across the Atlantic, I was deeply surprised by the thoughts and opinions in the book. In particular, he recommends Digital Workbook, a new book by MIT, whose colleague Dan Schiller is his colleague and is currently a well-known Internet and IT critic in the world. The first reading of the book, I am also greatly touched, “digital capitalism” gives us a very different view of “digital survival”: “The Internet is by no means a new kingdom built out of the real world, on the contrary, the Internet Space and the real world are inseparable parts of the Internet is essentially political, economic globalization, the most wonderful tool for the development of the Internet is entirely driven by strong political and economic forces, rather than a new human being more freedoms, more A better, more democratic alternative world. ”
