Reviews
"One of the pleasures of Smith's philosophical tour is to note how frequently the implementation of ideas and their consequences jump domains. . . . One of the great achievements of Smith's book is to permit us to honor [Ada Lovelace's] legacy, ambition, and achievement. . . while buttressing a healthy and necessary skepticism toward the claims of tech transcendence and the uniqueness of our moment." ---Eric Banks, 4Columns, " The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is begins as a negative critique of online life. . . . But the book's second half progresses into deeper philosophical inquiries. . . . [Smith] ends by recognizing that the interface of the Internet, and the keyboard that gives him access to it, is less an external device than an extension of his questing mind." ---Kyle Chayka, The New Yorker, "Fascinating. . . .The book is an impressive and necessary reality check that situates the Internet in a historical context." ---David Lorimer, Paradigm Explorer, "If you're feeling a vague sense of disquiet at the omnipresent and invasive nature of the internet, reading this book may make clear exactly what it is you dread." ---Peter Neville-Hadley, South China Morning Post Magazine, Smith draws on centuries' worth of philosophy to examine the pervasive reach of the internet in this enlightening survey. . . . a capable guide to why what's online is there, and how it came to be., "Smith has given readers a fresh interpretation of the history of technology . . . and a keen sense that we don't always know what the internet is doing to us." ---Christine Rosen, Wall Street Journal, "Smith traces the early internet through the outlandish ideas of Renaissance inventors, ill-fated fraudsters and forgotten polymaths. It's a provocative reframing of the internet, a lament for what might have been, and a fresh way of thinking about what we're doing when we spend endless hours scrolling online. . . . Smith avoids offering easy solutions to the current crisis but suggests that we might be able to reach back into the past in order to reorient the internet towards a more meaningful end." ---Joshua Gabert-Doyon, Financial Times, "While Smith addresses what is wrong with the web - especially compelling is his exploration of how it affects our attention and how it encourages us to trade our sense of self for "an algorithmically plottable profile" - he is also offering a big picture vision of this machine-assisted communication as an extension of all forms of communication in nature.", Thoughtful . . . . A worthy critique of a technology in need of rethinking--and human control that seeks to free and not enchain., "Smith's prose is concise and straightforward, a breath of fresh air for works of this sort. . . .A tour de force." ---Erwin Warkentin, The European Legacy, "One of the pleasures of Smith's philosophical tour is to note how frequently the implementation of ideas and their consequences jump domains. . . .One of the great achievements of Smith's book is to permit us to honor [Ada Lovelace's] legacy, ambition, and achievement. . . while buttressing a healthy and necessary skepticism toward the claims of tech transcendence and the uniqueness of our moment." ---Eric Banks, 4Columns, "Smith wants to show that the internet is not new, it is just a refinement in the gossamer of perceptual probing that our species has woven into the world's fabric to make near the distant. This arresting thesis is aided by the excellent writing. . . . The book is mostly enchantment." ---Graham McAleer, Law & Liberty, " The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is begins as a negative critique of online life. . . . but the book's second half progresses into deeper philosophical inquiries. . . . [Smith] ends by recognizing that the interface of the Internet, and the keyboard that gives him access to it, is less an external device than an extension of his questing mind." ---Kyle Chayka, New Yorker, An accessible philosophy of the internet, taking stock along the way of the faults and dangers resulting from the internet's invasion into people's lives. Whatever one's preconceptions about the internet, Smith makes a convincing case that the internet is something more than what one might have thought. , "Smith examines the alarming problems of the Internet in its contemporary incarnation and insightfully explores some of the historical antecedents of this technology." ---Harvey Freedenberg, Shelf Awareness, "While Smith addresses what is wrong with the web--especially compelling is his exploration of how it affects our attention and how it encourages us to trade our sense of self for 'an algorithmically plottable profile'--he is also offering a big picture vision of this machine-assisted communication as an extension of all forms of communication in nature." ---Cameron Woodhead and Fiona Capp, Sydney Morning Herald, "This heady, unusual book sets out to view the internet--idealistic experiment, revolutionary communication tool, repository of amusing cat memes--through a longer conceptual history. Instead of the expected trips to research laboratories and US university campuses, there are detours via Buddhist thought and a 19th-century hoax involving a 'snail telegraph.' Idiosyncratic, fascinating stuff." ---Rhiannon Davies and Matt Elton, BBC History Magazine, "Justin E.H. Smith examines the alarming problems of the Internet in its contemporary incarnation and insightfully explores some of the historical antecedents of this technology." ---Harvey Freedenberg, Shelf Awareness, "Mr. Smith has given readers a fresh interpretation of the history of technology...and a keen sense that we don't always know what the internet is doing to us." ---Christine Rosen, Wall Street Journal, "In a book that meditates upon networks, webs, and connections, Smith's astounding range becomes something of a method for revealing the interconnectedness of everything between stars and modems." ---Trevor Quirk, Bookforum, Thoughtful. . . . A worthy critique of a technology in need of rethinking--and human control that seeks to free and not enchain., [Smith] draws on centuries' worth of philosophy to examine the pervasive reach of the internet in this enlightening survey. . . . A capable guide to why what's online is there, and how it came to be., "Smith wants to make us think differently about the internet and much of his book is spent explaining that many of the ideas behind its uses are, in fact, ancient, and he gives myriad fascinating examples." ---Peter Neville-Hadley, South China Morning Post

Synopsis
An original deep history of the internet that tells the story of the centuries-old utopian dreams behind it -- and explains why they have died today. Many think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology. But is it? In The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is , Justin Smith offers an original deep history of the internet, from the ancient to the modern world -- uncovering its surprising origins in nature and centuries-old dreams of radically improving human life by outsourcing thinking to machines and communicating across vast distances. Yet, despite the internet's continuing potential, Smith argues, the utopian hopes behind it have finally died today, killed by the harsh realities of social media, the global information economy, and the attention-destroying nature of networked technology. Ranging over centuries of the history and philosophy of science and technology, Smith shows how the 'internet' has been with us much longer than we usually think. He draws fascinating connections between internet user experience, artificial intelligence, the invention of the printing press, communication between trees, and the origins of computing in the machine-driven looms of the silk industry. At the same time, he reveals how the internet's organic structure and development root it in the natural world in unexpected ways that challenge efforts to draw an easy line between technology and nature. Combining the sweep of intellectual history with the incisiveness of philosophy, The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is cuts through our daily digital lives to give a clear-sighted picture of what the internet is, where it came from, and where it might be taking us in the coming decades., An original deep history of the internet that tells the story of the centuries-old utopian dreams behind it--and explains why they have died today Many think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology.

The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping.

Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
