Features: Structural game theory is the logical framework for social resource allocation proposed by the author. Using this theoretical model, the author conducts a sociological and economic analysis of the vibrant internet movement in China from 2000 to 2001. This book reveals the fascinating nature of online interactions while offering an in-depth social analysis of the perplexing phenomena in China's internet development. Can the internet make society more equal? If not, in what ways does it play a role? Based on the realities of Chinese society, the book explains and addresses these questions. The author firmly believes that the social power of technology can only be realized to a limited extent, because the impact of technology on society cannot bypass the filtering mechanism of structural game theory between individuals—a success-breeds-success, winner-takes-all social logic.
