Law and Internet Cultures

Kathy Bowrey, of the University of New South Wales Law School, explores the relationship between law, culture and the global flow of information across the internet. According to the publishers:

This book raises the profile of socio-political questions about the global technology and information market. It is a close study of communication flows, networks, nodes, biopolitics and the fragmentations of power. It brings to life the role played by personalities, corporate interactions, industry compromises and the regulatory incompetencies, affecting the technological world we all live in.
