Some websites would not be missed at all if they were permanently removed from the internet. Just think of the countless personal homepages that, in the style of "My house, my car, my yacht," do not shy away from floor plan sketches of their homes or photos of family celebrations. However, when it comes to the website of a civil rights activist, deleting it feels like a capitulation. This was the case with leftist activist Angela Davis, who felt compelled to take down her America-critical online presence after the events of September 11th. Although the person of Angela Davis serves merely as a hook and is not discussed further, the title of Andreas Neumeister's new book points to a general sense of resignation. The critical public is equally failing in the face of dominance and power.
