"A valuable contribution to scholarship, and one that I enjoyed reading, Digital Formations takes a unique approach to the subject of information technology. In seeking to build new conceptual frameworks and develop new perspectives, it provides a solid foundation for the elaboration of future empirical and theoretical work on IT and globalization."--Michel S. Laguerre, University of California, Berkeley, author of The Informal City and The Global Ethnopolis
"Comprehensive and insightful, Digital Formations will be greeted warmly in the fields that overlap its concerns. It addresses a most important set of questions concerning the relationship of information technologies to globalization. And this is an urgent topic for social science."--Mark Poster, University of California, Irvine, author of The Mode of Information and What's the Matter with the Internet?
