  An original deep history of the internet that tells the story of the centuries-old utopian dreams behind it—and explains why they have died today 
   
  Many think of the internet as an unprecedented and overwhelmingly positive achievement of modern human technology. But is it? In The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is, Justin Smith offers an original deep history of the internet, from  
  the ancient to the modern world—uncovering its surprising origins in nature and centuries-old dreams of radically improving human life by outsourcing thinking to machines and communicating across vast distances. Yet, despite the internet’s  
  continuing potential, Smith argues, the utopian hopes behind it have finally died today, killed by the harsh realities of social media, the global information economy, and the attention-destroying nature of networked technology. 
   
  Ranging over centuries of the history and philosophy of science and technology, Smith shows how the “internet” has been with us much longer than we usually think. He draws fascinating connections between internet user experience,  
  artificial intelligence, the invention of the printing press, communication between trees, and the origins of computing in the machine-driven looms of the silk industry. At the same time, he reveals how the internet’s organic structure and  
  development root it in the natural world in unexpected ways that challenge efforts to draw an easy line between technology and nature. 
   
  Combining the sweep of intellectual history with the incisiveness of philosophy, The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is cuts through our daily digital lives to give a clear-sighted picture of what the internet is, where it came from, and where it might be taking us in the coming decades.

  The Glorious Revolution -...

  The Glorious Revolution of 1688 was not an event that occurred overnight; it was the culmination of years of political, religious, and social tensions in England. By the late 17th century, England was experiencing a period of instability and growing unrest, especially regarding the power of the monarchy versus the authority of Parliament. King James II, who ascended the throne in 1685, was a deeply polarizing figure. His reign would ignite the political crisis that eventually led to what would become known as the Glorious Revolution—a bloodless overthrow of the monarchy that profoundly reshaped English government and society. 
  James II, a devout Catholic, introduced policies that alarmed the predominantly Protestant English population. He sought to expand royal power at the expense of Parliament, leading to widespread fear of a return to Catholicism and absolute monarchy, similar to the reigns of his predecessors. His attempts to grant religious tolerance to Catholics and appoint them to high government and military positions created a rift between him and Parliament, which was largely controlled by Protestants. Moreover, his apparent disregard for the Protestant majority's concerns about his intentions deepened the divide between the monarchy and the English people. 
  At the same time, the political landscape of England was undergoing significant changes. The Whigs and Tories, the two major political factions of the time, were increasingly at odds over issues of religion and royal power. The Whigs, with their preference for constitutional monarchy and limited royal power, were particularly opposed to James II’s policies. They sought to preserve the Protestant faith and limit the king’s ability to impose his will without Parliament’s consent. On the other hand, the Tories, while still supportive of the monarchy, became increasingly wary of James's actions and the possibility of his dynastic line establishing a Catholic monarchy in England.
