Book part: Computerization always promotes centralization even as it promotes decentralization

Abstract
David Golumbia presents four reasons why he considers
“hacker” groups such as Anonymous right-wing activism, states
that in the regime of computation today the mathematical
rationalism of Leibnitz has prevailed Voltaire’s critical
rationalism, and proposes a FDA for computer technology.
He doesn’t see the Internet as Habermasian “public sphere,”
considers Digital Humanities a ‘perfect cyberlibertarian
construct,’ bemoans the capitulation of universities to new
media corporations, and calls for a balance of both modes of
thinking, the hedgehog and the fox, in the digital age.
