EPIC FAIL (NEW TITLE: THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER)

Book ID/图书代码： 13B64468

English Summary/英文概要： In this sharp and witty book, long-time Silicon Valley observer and author Andrew Keen argues that, on balance, the Internet has had a disastrous impact on all our lives.

By tracing the history of the Internet, from its founding in the 1960s to the creation of the World Wide Web in 1989, through the waves of start-ups and the rise of the big data companies to the increasing attempts to monetize almost every human activity, Keen shows how the Web has had a deeply negative effect on our culture, economy and society.

Informed by Keen’s own research and interviews, as well as the work of other writers, reporters and academics, The Internet is Not the Answer is an urgent investigation into the tech world - from the threat to privacy posed by social media and online surveillance by government agencies, to the impact of the Internet on unemployment and economic inequality.

Keen concludes by outlining the changes that he believes must be made, before it’s too late. If we do nothing, he warns, this new technology and the companies that control it will continue to impoverish us all.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这部文风犀利而又充满睿智的书中，长期观察硅谷发展状态的作家安德鲁基恩认为，互联网大体上对我们的生活产生了近乎于灾难性的影响。

通过追溯互联网的历史足迹，从上世纪60年代确立，到1989年创建的万维网，从初创企业的迅猛发展浪潮，和大数据公司的崛起，到更多地趋向将人类社会(通过网络访客)活动来赚钱的商业目的，基恩展示了网络如何对我们的文化，经济和社会产生了深刻的负面影响。

根据作者自己的研究和采访记录，以及其他作家，记者和学者所发表的著作，《科技的狂欢》是针对科技界的一次当务之急的调研报告，从社交媒体和政府机构在线监控对个人隐私构成的威胁，以及互联网经济体系对失业率和经济不平衡等所造成的影响。

基恩在文中最后概述了他认为在为时未晚之前，必须要作出的改变。他还警示，若我们还袖手旁观，这项新技术和其背后的网络公司，将会继续不断地从民众这里剥取钱财。(Sandy)
