Big Data in the International System: Indian, American, and Other Perspectives

The paper engages the reader with the objective of elaborating upon the nature, content and the attendant debates and situations related to the cyber world. The paper attempts a phantasmagorical striving for elucidating upon the Simulacra impact of Jean Baudrillard, the French Philosopher. The realism-ordained nature of the legal, political and the technological nature of the larger cyber world is pithily brought out for the understanding of the ground zero scenario of the matrix of simulations and social Media taken together. The constitutional aspects of the American situation are brought out tersely which attempts to balance out between the liberty and individual argument of the American dissent riders along with the argument of the establishment in order to strengthen the national security standpoint of the American establishment. The paper develops as a backgrounder, the phantasmagorical approach of the matrix like cyber world and the social media space. However it does not offer solutions, but attempts a delineation of the various themes such as anti-trolling legislations in the USA, the Cinema narrative which emboldens the narrative of the Big Data along with a simple enumeration and elaboration of the idea and fact of Big Data.
