| Abstract
|
:
|
Does the information on the Web offer many alternative accounts of reality, or does it subtly align with an official version? Richard Rogers identifies the cultures, techniques, and devices that rank and recommend information, analysing both the political content of the Web and the politics built into the infrastructure.
