Cultural Infrastructure
For the full introduction to the concept of cultural infrastructure, visit “Cultural Infrastructure” in the Appendix on page 734. This section highlights some problems that may result from how a culture is constructed (which are mostly common sense, hence its relegation to the Appendix) and warns against tying a culture too closely to the state. It also briefly touches on the concept of “the tyranny of the unemployed,” a phenomenon in which cultures controlled by things like online message boards or conventions end up being dominated by those with the fewest demands on their time.
