Title: Information politics on the Web
Description: "Does information available through the World Wide Web offer many alternative accounts of reality, or does it subtly align with an official version? In Information Politics on the Web Richard Rogers identifies the cultures, techniques, and devices that rank and recommend information on the Web, analyzing not only the political content of Web sites but the politics built into the Web's infrastructure. Addressing the larger question of what the Web is for, Rogers argues that the Web is still the best arena for unsettling the official and challenging the familiar."--Jacket.
