Sydneyin the 1970s and 1980s was a world of limited choice, one where we all watchedthe same television programs and the household phone was at the heart of allnetworks people belonged to: family, school, church and the neighbourhood. Thearrival of the internet promised a utopian, creative and democratic future thatwould break down traditional institutions and replace them with excitingcollaborative networks. So how did we end up here?In Webtopia, Peter Lewis draws from his ownpre- and post-tech experience and conversations with entrepreneurs,politicians, pastors, parents, teachers and journalists to show us that technologyis not the problem. We are. If we fix our relationship with technology, it willbe easier to fix our relationships with each other in a fragmenting world.Riveting, engaging and wise, Webtopia traces our digital journey tothis point and, fearlessly, marks out the best route from here.
