Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. An eye-opening exploration of the Chinese internet that reveals the intricate dance between freedom and control in contemporary ChinaThe Wall Dancers is history told in a gripping, novelistic style. It is at once a crash course in contemporary Chinese politics and culture and an epic story about human drive, desperation, and ingenuity against inordinate odds. Yi-Ling Liu has written a masterwork.Jonathan Blitzer, New York Times bestselling author of Everyone Who Is Gone Is HereIn the late 1990s, as the world was waking up to the power and emancipatory promise of the internet, Chinese authorities began constructing a system of online surveillance and censorship now known as the Great Firewall. But far from being a barren landscape, the digital world that sprouted up behind the firewall brimmed with new subcultures and tech innovations, offering many Chinese citizens previously unimaginable connection and opportunity.Today, as the countrys leadership intensifies its control of public discourse and Western headlines reduce the Chinese public to a faceless monolith, journalist Yi-Ling Liu presents an intimate portrait of Chinas online ecosystemand a crucial lens into the on-the-ground reality of life there. Tracing the last three decades of the Chinese internets evolutionfrom its lexicon to its memes to the precise nature of its censorshipshe equips readers with a critical tool to assess the past, present, and future of a global power.Drawing on years of firsthand reporting, The Wall Dancers weaves together the stories of individuals navigating Chinas transformation into both the worlds largest online user base and one of its most populous authoritarian states. As these entrepreneurs, activists, artists, and dreamers experience the internets power as a tool for both control and liberation, they grapple with universal questions of success and authenticity, love and solidarity, faith and resilience.The Wall Dancers is at once an unforgettable work of human storytelling and a vital exploration of what it means to live with dignity and hope within the technological systems that now shape all our lives.
