| Abstract: | What if the Internet had developed in different ways and with different priorities? This question frames Benjamin Peters’ How Not to Network a Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet. Presented for the first time in any language in book form, it is a fascinating historical account of how this Communist superpower came close to establishing its own indigenous version of the Internet. Peters describes it as a story ‘of a particular path not taken into the modern network age’ (p. 191). [excerpt] |
