Krátky popis
What if everything we thought we knew about history was wrong? From
the global bestselling author of Empire, The Ascent of Money and
Civilization, this is a whole new way of looking at the world. Most
history is hierarchical: it's about popes, presidents, and prime
ministers. But what if that's simply because they create the
historical archives? What if we are missing equally powerful but
less visible networks-leaving them to the conspiracy theorists,
with their dreams of all-powerful Illuminati? The twenty-first
century has been hailed as the Networked Age. But in The Square and
the Tower Niall Ferguson argues that social networks are nothing
new. From the printers and preachers who made the Reformation to
the freemasons who led the American Revolution, it was the
networkers who disrupted the old order of popes and kings. Far from
being novel, our era is the Second Networked Age, with the computer
in the role of the printing press. Those looking forward to a
utopia of interconnected 'netizens' may therefore be disappointed.
For networks are prone to clustering, contagions, and even outages.
And the conflicts of the past already have unnerving parallels
today, in the time of Facebook, Islamic State and Trumpworld.
