Product Description

Review

"I think that is is a relief to read a young academic who refers to Marx and Engels...I really recommend this book and hope that also some politicians are going to read it, so we can have a more cooperative and less competitive future."

Jesper Toekke, Cybernetics & Human Knowing, Vol. 15, No. 2, 2008

"Fuchs's approach to social theory is reminiscent of Jürgen Habermas's in more than one way. ... Fuchs provides a thoughtful analysis that not only engages the most prominent literature but also produces a clear voice which cuts through many of the clichés regarding the information society."

Eran Fisher, Journal of Communication 59 (4) 

"Without building critical tools described in this book, the moment for positive social and political change may indeed turn dystopian, as the opportunity evaporates to conceptualize society as cooperative systems of interactions."

Marcus Breen, International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics 5 (3)

Book Reviews:

Eran Fisher, Journal of Communication 59 (4):
"Fuchs's approach to social theory is reminiscent of Jürgen Habermas's in more than one way."
"Fuchs provides a thoughtful analysis that not only engages the most prominent literature but also produces a clear voice which cuts through many of the clichés regarding the information society."
"Fuchs is able to achieve an extraordinary accomplishment of interweaving a sophisticated theoretical and philosophical discussion with a close analysis of empirical evidence."
"He moves to a fro the two poles of empiricism and minutes technical details on the one hand and a wide-angle, all-encompassing theoretical framework on the other hand to give us a coherent picture of our time."

Marcus Breen, International Journal of Media and Cultural Politics 5 (3):
"Without building critical tools described in this book, the moment for positive social and political change may indeed turn dystopian, as the opportunity evaporates to conceptualize society as cooperative systems of interactions. Internet and Societyis accessible to upper level undergraduates and most certainly graduate students, while the general academic reader will find a wealth of ideas informed by short case studies that suggest how disciplines might be drawn together."

Jesper Taekke: Cybernetics & Human Knowing 15 (2):
"I really recommend this book and hope that also some politicians are going to read it, so we can have a more cooperative and less competitive future."

Eveline Lubbers, American Philosophical Association Newsletter on Philosophy and Computers 8 (2):
"The merits of Fuchs's work lie in bringing together an enormous amount of recent research, current discussions, and a broad diversity of definitions about the issues at stake here."
