{"product_id":"the-googlization-of-everything-siva-vaidhyanathan-9780520258822","title":"The Googlization of Everything: (And Why We Should Worry)","description":"In the beginning, the World Wide Web was exciting and open to the point of anarchy, a vast and intimidating repository of unindexed confusion. Into this creative chaos came Google with its dazzling mission--\"To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible\"--and its much-quoted motto, \"Don't be evil.\" In this provocative book, Siva Vaidhyanathan examines the ways we have used and embraced Google--and the growing resistance to its expansion across the globe. He exposes the dark side of our Google fantasies, raising red flags about issues of intellectual property and the much-touted Google Book Search. He assesses Google's global impact, particularly in China, and explains the insidious effect of Googlization on the way we think. Finally, Vaidhyanathan proposes the construction of an Internet ecosystem designed to benefit the whole world and keep one brilliant and powerful company from falling into the \"evil\" it pledged to avoid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Siva Vaidhyanathan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520258827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520258822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.38w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2011 pg. 109\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/24\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/18\/2011 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/28\/2011","brand":"Siva Vaidhyanathan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946697785599,"sku":"9780520258822","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7f7163e0-65da-49c6-880b-8d85f4ad7cd1.jpg?v=1681514621","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-googlization-of-everything-siva-vaidhyanathan-9780520258822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
