«Digital Disconnect» is Robert W. McChesney's essay, published by The New Press in hardcover (299 pages, in English).
McChesney analyzes how economic power and policies favorable to large corporations have made the internet a space dominated by monopolies like Google and Microsoft, where surveillance grows and independent journalism collapses. Against this antidemocratic drift, he argues for recovering the internet's democratizing potential.
The work originally appeared in March 2013 and is situated within the critique of the political economy of the media and technology.
Intended for those who want to understand the debate about the power of large platforms and its effects on democracy and journalism.
