| Summary: | "This book provides the first complete study of Castells's theory of the network society. It is a critical examination of his account of "informational capitalism," of global social movements as the source of new values, and of networked governance. Felix Stalder also provides an original and in-depth account of the theory of the "space of flows" and of Castells's particular notion of the network." "The book serves as both an excellent introduction to Castells's wide-ranging theories and an innovative critique which contributes to ongoing debates in the field. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars in sociology, politics, geography and the social sciences generally."--BOOK JACKET. |
