Beschreibung

"his is the first book that explores the history of how the cat came to be the undisputed mascot of the internet. Internet cats can differ in dramatic ways, from the goth cats of Twitter to the glamourpusses of Instagram to the giddy, nonsensical silliness of Nyan Cat; but they share a common signification of internettiness. And as such, internet cats offer a useful-and playful-way to investigate the communities of practitioners that surround computing and, more generally, to understand how culture shapes, and is shaped by, technology"--
