Cyber espionnage, ou, Comment tout le monde épie tout le monde!
By Gérard Desmaretz. 2007

By Serge Tisseron. 2008
"Qui n'a un jour rêvé de profiter des avantages de la solitude tout en disposant à tout moment d'un important…
réseau d'amis ? Aujourd'hui, avec Internet, ce rêve est devenu réalité, et des sites comme MySpace ou Facebook bouleversent les codes relationnels et les manières d'être ensemble. Beaucoup de nos contemporains se séduisent et se séparent dans des univers aux noms paradisiaques tels que Meetic ou Second life. Quant à la famille, elle compte désormais moins pour certains adolescents que leur réseau d'amis virtuels. Serge Tisseron, psychiatre et psychanalyste, analyse les bouleversements qui en résultent : le désir, le rapport à soi et aux autres, la perception du réel ne sont plus les mêmes, et la rencontre concrète cesse de plus en plus d'être la référence de la relation. Mais le recours grandissant au virtuel comme remède contre le stress, la dépression ou la solitude n'est pas sans danger. Afin de lutter contre les mirages des écrans, de nouveaux repères sont à inventer, centrés sur la revalorisation du corps et des sens et sur le goût du jeu". -- 4e de couv.Les dix plaies d'Internet: les dangers d'un outil fabuleux

est simple : passer au crible la façon dont nous utilisons le Web. Réveillez votre esprit critique ! Avez-vous déjà réfléchi aux questions suivantes : Lorsque vous consultez un moteur de recherche, savez-vous comment se "calculent" les résultats ? Lorsque vous téléchargez illégalement une oeuvre protégée par le droit d'auteur, savez-vous qu'il s'agit d'un vol ? Peut-on faire confiance à Wikipedia ? Nos enfants collégiens ou lycéens recourent-ils massivement au copier-coller ? Est-ce ainsi que nous leur apprendrons à penser par eux-mêmes ? Avez-vous vraiment envie d'une société où tout le monde peut s'exprimer tout le temps sur tous les sujets ? À vous de réfléchir..." -- 4e de couv.The Canadian style: a guide to writing and editing

By Astra Taylor. 2014
The Internet has been hailed as a place where all can be heard and everyone can participate equally. But how…
true is this claim? In a seminal dismantling of techno-utopian visions, the author argues that for all that we "tweet" and "like" and "share," the Internet in fact reflects and amplifies real-world inequities at least as much as it ameliorates them. Online, just as off-line, attention and influence largely accrue to those who already have plenty of both. What we have seen in the virtual world so far has been not a revolution but merely a rearrangement. Although Silicon Valley tycoons have eclipsed Hollywood moguls, a handful of giants like Amazon, Apple, Google and Facebook still dominate our lives. The new world order looks suspiciously just like the old one. 2014.The joy of writing: a guide for writers, disguised as a literary memoir
