About “The Californian Ideology”
"The Californian Ideology" is a 1995 essay by Richard Barbrook and Andy Cameron, media theorists from the University of Westminster. The essay critiques dotcom neoliberalism and explores how networking technologies in Silicon Valley during the 1990s were connected to American neoliberalism. Barbrook and Cameron argue that this period saw a blending of left and right political beliefs, resulting in a form of technological determinism that was both hopeful and contradictory. The essay focuses on the intersection of media theory and Silicon Valley politics during the early days of the internet. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
