Em 1969, num projeto tocado por acadêmicos e financiado pelo Pentágono, entrava no ar a Arpanet. Uma rede de comunicações entre computadores que não podia ser desligada e à qual qualquer um podia ter acesso.

Ao longo das décadas, essa tecnologia foi sendo modificada para se tornar cada vez mais eficiente e abrangente. Hoje, ela incorpora inúmeras redes, espalha-se por todo o planeta e é conhecida como internet.

Atualmente a internet se tornou tão onipresente que até esquecemos de como era nossa vida sem ela. Diante disso, o mergulho nesse tema vai ser duplo.

Neste primeiro episódio, falamos sobre as origens da rede mundial de computadores, e sobre os fóruns anônimos de discussão que impulsionaram uma cultura digital de agressividade, humor politicamente incorreto, racismo, machismo e misoginia.

Daqui a quinze dias, voltaremos ao tema para falar sobre como a internet ajudou na ascensão da nova direita no Brasil.

Geoff Dyer on why Larry McMurtry’s novel Lonesome Dove was one of the most memorable reading experiences of his life (a taster from his essay: “There was no book and no reader. There was just this world, this huge landscape and its magnificently peopled emptiness”); In April 1939, the black contralto Marian Anderson stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial and performed to a crowd of 75,000 people. Carol J. Oja sheds light on the twists and turns behind a moment when the history of Civil Rights intersected with that of classical music. Read more at the-tls.co.uk

When, last year the writer and activist Bernardine Evaristo, won the Booker Prize for fiction – becoming in fact, the first black British person to do so – we at the TLS were not surprised. Evaristo has written for us for some years now, and ‘Girl, Woman, Other’, the novel for which the prize was awarded, was only the latest in a run of novels full of life and questions and challenges. And the recognition keeps coming. This week brought two more prizes at the British Book Awards; 'Girl, Woman, Other' won in the Fiction category and Evaristo was named Author of the Year. In this reissued episode of the TLS podcast, recorded just after winning the Booker Prize, the author speaks to our fiction editor Toby Lichtig
