Through an investigation of informationalism, defined as a contemporary form of capitalism, it describes the social processes producing informational disorder. While most social theory sees disorder as secondary, pathological or uninteresting, this book takes disordering processes as central to social life. The book engages with theories of information society which privilege information order, offering a strong counterpoint centred on \"disinformation.\" \u003ci\u003eDisorder and the Disinformation Society\u003c\/i\u003e offers a practical agenda, arguing that difficulties in producing software are both inherent to the process of developing software and in the social dynamics of informationalism. It outlines the dynamics of software failure as they impinge on of information workers and on daily life, explores why computerized finance has become inherently self-disruptive, asks how digital enclosure and intellectual property create conflicts over cultural creativity and disrupt informational accuracy and scholarship, and reveals how social media can extend, but also distort, the development of social movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Paul Marshall,James Goodman,Didar Zowghi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415540003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415540001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Jonathan Paul Marshall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064931299583,"sku":"9780415540001","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e82679a7-1a86-47d8-aa48-f5c1636da2fc.jpg?v=1768671999","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disorder-and-the-disinformation-society-jonathan-paul-marshall-9780415540001","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
