Description
The Medieval Internet explores the intersection of digital technology, power structures, and political participation in the modern world. Author Jakob Linaa Jensen argues that contemporary digital platforms mirror medieval organizational patterns in unexpected ways, challenging our understanding of progress and connectivity.
The book investigates how the internet has fundamentally altered power distribution, creating new forms of hierarchy alongside democratized access to information. Jensen examines participation patterns across digital platforms, analyzing how users engage with technology and institutions. By drawing historical parallels between medieval and digital societies, the work provides fresh insights into contemporary challenges including digital inequality, political polarization, and institutional adaptation.
Ideal for scholars, policymakers, and technology professionals seeking to understand how digital transformation intersects with traditional power structures and social organization.
