Includes bibliographical references and indexes."The history of the internet is often overfocused on the grandfathers who created its architecture and protocol. But the internet is more than a network of cables, servers, and computers--it is an environment that shapes and is shaped by its inhabitants and their use. In Cyberfeminism Index, a variety of hackers, scholars, artists, and activists consider how humans might reconstruct themselves by way of technology through more than 700 short entries of radical techno-critical activism. Both a vital introduction for laypeople and a robust resource guide for educators, Cyberfeminism Index--an anti-canon, of sorts--celebrates the multiplicity of practices that fall under this imperfect categorization and makes visible cyberfeminism's long-ignored origins and its expansive legacy."--Provided by publisher

Life after Google : the fall of big data and the rise of the blockchain economy / by Gilder, George F.,1939-author.(CARDINAL)155044;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 285-312) and index.Prologue: Back to the future-- the ride -- Don't steal this book -- Google's system of the world -- Google's roots and religions -- End of the free world -- Ten laws of the cryptocosm -- Google's datacenter coup -- Dally's parallel paradigm -- Markov and Midas -- Life 3.0 -- 1517 -- The heist -- Finding Satoshi -- Battle of the blockchains -- Blockstack -- Taking back the net -- Brave return of Brendan Eich -- Yuanfen -- The rise of sky computing -- A global insurrection -- Neutering the network -- The empire strikes back -- The Bitcoin flaw -- The great unbundling -- Epilogue: The new system of the world.Google's ability to "search and sort" attracts the entire world to its search engine and countless other goodies-- videos, maps, email, calendars. Everything it offers is free ... or so it seems. Instead of paying directly, users submit to advertising. The Internet firewalls supposedly protecting all our passwords and personal information have proved hopelessly permeable. The future lies with the "cryptocosm": the new architecture of the blockchain and its derivatives. Gilder explains why Silicon Valley is suffering a nervous breakdown and what to expect as the post-Google age dawns. -- adapted from jacket.

Schnapp -- "One, Two: A Hundred, a Thousand Global Tools": An Interview with Franco Raggi/Andrew Blauvelt -- Etc. -- Exhibition Checklist -- Reproduction Credits -- Catalogue Contributors -- Index.Includes bibliographical references (pages 439-440) and index.Hippie Modernism: The Struggle for Utopia accompanies an exhibition of the same title examining the art, architecture and design of the counter-culture of the 1960s and early 1970s. The catalogue surveys the radical experiments that challenged societal and professional norms while proposing new kinds of technological, ecological and political utopia. It includes the counter design proposals of Victor Papanek and the anti-design polemics of Global Tools; the radical architectural visions of Archigram, Superstudio, Haus Rucker Co and ONYX; the media-based installations of Ken Isaacs, Joan Hills and Mark Boyle and Helio Oiticica and Neville DAlmeida; the experimental films of Jordan Belson, Bruce Conner and John Whitney; posters and prints by Emory Douglas, Corita Kent and Victor Moscoso; documentation of performances staged by the Diggers and the Cockettes; publications such as Oz Magazine and The Whole Earth Catalog and books by Marshall McLuhan and Buckminster Fuller; and much, much more. While the turbulent social history of the 1960s is well known, its cultural production remains comparatively under-examined. In this substantial volume, scholars explore a range of practices such as radical architectural and anti-design movements emerging in Europe and North America; the print revolution in the experimental graphic design of books, posters and magazines; and new forms of cultural practice that merged street theater and radical politics. Through a profusion of illustrations, interviews with figures including Gerd Stern and Michael Callahan of USCO, Gunther Zamp Kelp of Haus Rucker Co, Ken Isaacs, Ron Williams and Woody Rainey of ONYX, Franco Raggi of Global Tools, Tony Martin, Clark Richert and Richard Kallweit of Drop City, and new scholarly writings, this book explores the hybrid conjunction of the countercultural ethos and the modernist desire to fuse art and life.
