Description
Communication in today’s world is characterised by a condition of persistent, semi-permanent connectivity, which seems to connect and also alienate. In The Death of Web 2.0, Greg Singh draws from a range of approaches, intellectual traditions and scholarly disciplines to engage key questions underpinning our communications media ecosystem.
"Remember Web 2.0? Its shiny promises of participation, creativity and empowerment seem a very long time ago, as social media curdle into narcissism, data mining and election fraud. Greg Singh surveys the rubble of the Web 2.0 moment, and builds a powerful argument about the ethics of connection, recognition, and twenty-first-century communication."— Graham Meikle, Professor of Communication and Digital Media, University of Westminster, UK
