Abstract

With level of internet use at record highs and the instability of internet services recently effecting millions across the globe, including scholarly publishers, Jean-Christophe Plantin discusses how much we actually know about the communication infrastructure on which many of us rely heavily in our daily lives. He suggests that moments of failure and outage, provide opportunities both to develop infrastructure literacy and to consider how and for whom our current infrastructures function.
