Society of the Query Reader : reflections on web search

Internet search engines, academic resource on new media

Searching for something online is one of the most common uses of the internet. Whether with a laptop or smartphone, we search anytime we want anywhere want to. 'Googling' has become so entwined in our daily routines that we dont even really think about it. Ssearch engines such as Google or Bing, shape our knowledge and perceptions of the world. But there is a world beyond Google - geographically, culturally, and technologically. The Society of the Query network was founded in 2009 to delve into the larger societal and cultural consequences that are triggered by search technology. In this Reader twenty authors - new media scholars, historians, computer scientists, and artists - try to answer a number of pressing questions about online search.
