title: Becoming Digital: Toward a Post-Internet Society (SocietyNow)
author:  Vincent Mosco 
description: Mosco, (Professor Emeritus, Queen's University, Canada) offers the reader a view into the not-to-distant future of the internet. He delves into ideas such as the Cloud, Big Data, surveillance capitalism and personal technology. The well researched text looks at the ways the future of the internet can be used for exploitation, and, conversely, discusses ways it may be used to promote democracy and social justice. What does it mean to have a "smart" house? What are the dangers of having not only all your information online, but having the internet make day to day decisions for you? Mosco weighs the pros and cons of this brave new world in this readable, research driven text. --Annotation 2018 Ringgold Inc. Portland, OR (protoview.com)
