Of course, none of that was part of the plan. In Antisocial Media, Siva Vaidhyanathan explains how Facebook devolved from an innocent social site hacked together by Harvard students into a force that, while it may make personal life just a little more pleasurable, makes democracy a lot more challenging. It's an account of the hubris of good intentions, a missionary spirit, and an ideology that sees computer code as the universal solvent for all human problems ... Both authoritative and trenchant, Antisocial Media shows how Facebook's mission went so wrong."--Book description, Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Social media $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Communication in politics $x Technological innovations $z United States. 650 0 $a Internet addiction $z United States. 650 0 $a Truthfulness and falsehood $z United States. 941 $a 5 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20191122025417.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20190711010237.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20190329010125.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190129010534.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20181103010448.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D174C9D6B26311E8BB1AE23C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
