b"We discuss Chapter 1, \\u201cWhy Cyberspace?\\u201d of Wendy H.K. Chun\\u2019s book and dive into the origins, politics, and ideology behind this weird metaphor for the Internet. In the process we trace an evolution of different phases in the Internet's political economy, from the Web 1.0 endless electronic frontier of freedom to the Web 2.0 archipelago of platforms and rentiers, and circling back to many ideological desires born anew in the Web 3.0 vision of a decentralized metaverse. All this and more as we talk through Chun\\u2019s richly detailed cultural / material analysis of the Internet.
