The Leisure Commons (eBook, ePUB)

A Spatial History of Web 2.0

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book investigates Web 2.0 cyberleisure space by drawing parallels to another leisure space that shares its rhetoric of being open, democratic, and free for all: the urban park. It bridges the urban with the digital commons, revealing fresh insights on corporatization, privatization and democratization of new media spaces.
