Of course, none of that was part of the plan. In this fully updated paperback edition of 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.

Antisocial Media is not negative or defeatist. But it does not sugarcoat the facts. We can only remake technology to conform to new social values if we do the hard work of committing to what they are. That's a problem that Facebook can't solve. This is history, philosophy, and a call to action.\" -Sherry Turkle, Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology, MIT, and author of Reclaiming Conversation and Alone Together\u003cbr\u003eHello, reader. Do you use Facebook? Do you see it more times in a given day than you, say, drink a glass of water? If so, I suggest you find out from Siva Vaidhyanathan to what it is that you've given not only yourself, but also your crucial little portion of our world. He's the one who can tell you.\" -Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn and Fortress of Solitude\u003cbr\u003eAs a San Franciscan, I've had a front-row seat for the rise of Silicon Valley as a global power, and what the glossy new oligarchs have brought us terrifies me, as has the widespread obliviousness to the consequences of their new systems of information control. It's made me enormously grateful for Siva Vaidhyanathan, who set out after the election to dissect exactly how Facebook had helped corrupt our minds, our culture, our elections, and our governments. His scathing conclusions here should both chill you and equip you to face the perils the new information megacorporations pose to each and all of us.\" -Rebecca Solnit, author of Hope in the Dark\u003cbr\u003eAn eye -opening and provocative examination of the unintended consequences that this tech giant inflicted on the global community it created. * Kathleen Hall Jamieson, Elizabeth Ware Packard Professor of Communication, Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Cyberwar   *\u003cbr\u003eFacebook's plan to connect the world has backfired. Democratic societies are unraveling everywhere. Conflict is trumping community, suspicion is undermining trust. Antisocial Media is the best account of how and why the world's leading tech firms have contributed to this crisis, here and across the globe. Vaidhyanathan's message is not merely necessary; it's urgent. * Eric Klinenberg, Professor of Sociology at NYU and author of Palaces for the People: How Social Infrastructure Can Help Fight Inequality, Polarization, and the Decline of Civic Life   *\u003cbr\u003eVaidhyanathan does have some solutions in mind, but they are not the simple tweaks Facebook proposes. There's no way at this point to reengineer a platform that rewards hasty, emotional, shallow engagement or moderates content to ensure two billion people behave themselves. We need to work across borders to make these steps multinational if not global. And we need to do it soon. The lamps are going out all over Europe again, and far beyond. * Barbara Fister, Inside HigherEd   *\u003cbr\u003eIn \"Antisocial Media,\" University of Virginia professor Siva Vaidhyanathan gives a full and rigorous accounting of Facebook's sins. Much of the criticism will be familiar to anyone who has been following the news about the company. What distinguishes the book is Vaidhyanathan's skill in putting the social media phenomenon into a broader context - legal, historical and political. * Nicholas Carr, The Washington Post *\u003cbr\u003eIn a post-Cambridge Analytica, post-Donald Trump election world, Vaidhyanathan's book [Antisocial Media] is a critique of the \"Facebook machine\" and the ways it operates on users in terms of \"pleasure, surveillance, attention, protest, politics, and disinformation.\" - Express Newspaper Service, The Indian Express\u003cbr\u003eVaidhyanathan has written a structured response to the behemoth that is Facebook. He acknowledges all the rhetorically valid ways in which Facebook might offer emotionally fulfilling interactions (the author himself is a user), but he buttresses these emotive motivations with close readings of the filter bubble, monetization of all transactions on the platform, and even the inherent vice of \"good\" business... Verdict: Ideal for readers who live in the world of social media who want to put these platforms into context. * Jesse A. Lambertson, Library Journal *\u003cbr\u003eAn excellent critique of the social media giant underlines the threat it poses to us all - and suggests how it can be tamed. * John Naughton, The Guardian   *\u003cbr\u003eWith 30 per cent of the world's population on Facebook, Vaidhyanathan contends that the platform could become the operating system of our lives. And while it's fun to catch up with old school friends, its \"mediated cacophony\" is a powerful tool for the vocal minority to quickly subvert silent majorities. Zuckerberg himself is curiously complacent. Facebook, he says, \"is just too big to govern. We are victims of its success. * Nick Smith, Engineering \u0026amp; Technology   *\u003cbr\u003eThis thoroughly researched and persuasively argued account of social media's noxious effects on the very fabric of society is the first study of its kind: a trenchant analysis of Facebook's unwholesome side effects. It needed saying, and it's supremely well said.\" - Juanita Coulson, The Lady\u003cbr\u003eFrom propagating fake news to violating our privacy, from empowering authoritarian regimes to enabling anti-Semitic advertising, Facebook has become the social network everyone loves to hate. Vaidhyanathan, whose previous books include \"The Googlization of Everything\" - and \"Why We Should Worry\", has produced a valuable guide, written in clear, non-academic prose, to the monstrous force Facebook has become. And if his overview of what's gone wrong with Facebook will seem familiar to those of us who obsess about these things, it nevertheless serves as a worthwhile introduction to the Zuckerborg and all that it has wrought. If only Vaidhyanathan had some compelling ideas on what to do about it. If only any of us did.\" - Dan Kennedy, The Arts Fuse\u003cbr\u003eVaidhyanathan has been a strenuous critic of the technology industry, and the book is best described by his own pithy summary: \"The problem with Facebook is Facebook.\" He's spent the past several years reading and thinking with scholarly depth about not just how Facebook works, but why it was built the way that it was.\" - Alexis C. Madrigal, The Atlantic\u003cbr\u003eVaidhyanathan writes with conviction and a deep sense of history. His research is sharp and diverse and his long association with media studies and readings on the philosophy of modern technology is vividly reflected in his writing. Personally, it was a pleasure to know that Vaidhyanathan had worked with the New York University where legendary social commentator and a critic of technology, Neil Postman, taught, and his anecdotes on Postman's ideas are a social media student's delight.\" - Jinoy Jose P, The Hindu\u003cbr\u003eI think your book has to be, in my mind, one of the most important nonfiction books of this year, if not in the last decade...

The 'Weibo' feminism that has spread in China since the time of #MeToo is an unprecedented development in the history of East Asia and the world. This book brings its history, politics, real-world activities, online art and rhetoric, and culture, as well as details of its repression, to English-speaking readers. It conveys the radical spirit of Weibo Feminism in the movement's rejection of marriage, surrogacy, and the male literary world, as well as its heroic actions during the Corona pandemic, funny internet memes, and resistance to both Chinese Confucian patriarchy and Western liberalism. The Megalia feminism of South Korea described in a number of books complements this important account of uprising in contemporary China, and both literatures alert the world to East Asia's central place in feminism today. Authors Aviva Xue and Kate Rose document Weibo Feminism from the inside, and describe its theoretical principles, political tactics, and aims for the liberation of Chinese women with vivid clarity and in astounding detail. * Caroline Norma, RMIT University, author of The Japanese Comfort Women (Bloomsbury, 2015) *\u003cbr\u003eAt a time of China’s rise to global superpower, what do we know about Chinese women’s aspirations, hopes and dreams? Weibo Feminism begins to fill this gap. In thousands of Blogs on Weibo, feminists promote an autonomous Chinese vision of the world by drawing on the past (history, language and forgotten women) as much as the present (literature, violence against women, prostitution, pornography and surrogacy).   This brilliant book by Kate Rose and Aviva Wei Xue should be mandatory reading for people in the West as it opens our eyes to the strong, authentic and resilient voices of Chinese feminists who have much to teach us. * Dr Renate Klein, feminist health activist *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Scattered Revolutions Spark the Masses 1.
