Conflict over information has become a central part of twenty-first century politics and culture. The politics of information is seen in struggles around social media in the Arab Spring, total surveillance revealed by the Snowden leaks, Anonymous and digital resistance, the ongoing issue of privacy, Facebook and social media and many other conflicts. This book identifies all these, and more, issues in relation to a general understanding of the nature of an information politics that emerged with the rise to mass use of digital cultures and the internet. Information Politics identifies information and locates it as part of a field of rebellion and liberation that is populated by many inter-acting social and political conflicts including gender, ecology, class and more. The exploitations being both put in place and contested through increases in information flows, the embedding of information technologies in daily life and the intersection of network and control protocols are examined in relation to platforms, including social networks and clouds and to particular examples of digital conflict, such as the iPhone, the moment an avatar dies in online gaming and resistance in hacktivism.
