About the Book

Todo lo que no quieres pero necesitas saber sobre el poder, la economía, la sociedad y las telecomunicaciones en la era de la información.

La red no es libre, ni abierta ni democrática. Es un conjunto de servidores, conmutadores, satélites, antenas, routers y cables de fibra óptica controlados por un número cada vez más pequeño de empresas. Es un lenguaje y una burocracia de protocolos que hacen que las máquinas hablen, normas de circulación que conducen el tráfico, microdecisiones que definen su eficiencia. Si la consideramos un único proyecto llamado internet, podemos decir que es la infraestructura más grande jamás construida, y el sistema que define todos los aspectos de nuestra sociedad. Y sin embargo es secreta. Su tecnología está oculta, enterrada, sumergida o camuflada; sus algoritmos son opacos; sus microdecisiones son irrastreables. Los centros de datos que almacenan y procesan la información están ocultos y protegidos por armas, criptografía, propiedad intelectual y alambre de espino.

La infraestructura crítica de nuestro tiempo está fuera de nuestra vista. No podemos comprender la lógica, la intención y el objetivo de lo que no vemos. Todas las conversaciones que tenemos sobre esa infraestructura son en realidad conversaciones sobre su interfaz, un conjunto de metáforas que se interpone entre nosotros y el sistema.

Un lenguaje diseñado, no para facilitar nuestra comprensión de esa infraestructura, sino para ofuscarla. El enemigo conoce el sistema pero nosotros no.

Este libro te ayudará a conocerlo, y a comprender por qué la herramienta más democratizadora de la historia se ha convertido en una máquina de vigilancia y manipulación de masas al servicio de regímenes autoritarios. Solo así podremos convertirla en lo que más falta nos hace: una herramienta para gestionar la crisis que se avecina de la manera más humana posible. No tenemos un segundo que perder.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Everything you may not want to, but need to know about power, economics, society, and telecommunications in the information age.

The internet is not free and open, nor is it democratic. It is a combination of servers, switches, satellites, antennas, routers, and fiber optic cables controlled by a small number of companies which continues to become smaller. It is a specific language and a bureaucracy of protocols that make machines communicate, traffic rules that drive the flow of communication, and micro decisions that outline their efficiency. If we consider it one single project called the internet, we can say that it is the largest infrastructure ever built, and the system that defines all aspects of our society. And yet it is all a secret. Its technology is hidden, buried, submerged or camouflaged; its algorithms are blurred; its micro decisions have no rhyme or reason. It is a language designed, not to simplify our understanding of its infrastructure, but to disguise it.

This book will help you get to know the system, and to understand why the most democratizing tool in history has become a mechanism for mass surveillance and manipulation to benefit authoritarian regimes. Only by understanding it can we turn it into what we most need: a tool to manage the crisis that is approaching in the most human way possible. We must act now.
