This book adopts an explicitly postmodernist perspective of the digital revolution. While exploring issues relating to the re-creation of social life in the digital world, its main focus is on the political economy and in particular the extent to which the paradigms of capitalism and socialism can be mapped as postcapitalism onto this new world.
"Raphael Sassower provides the reader with a bracing tour of the digital world that we all increasingly inhabit but which few others are in a better position to guide us through." - Steve Fuller, Auguste Comte Chair in Social Epistemology, University of Warwick, UK
