Book Synopsis
This genealogy maps the many means by which humans interact - from cataloguing others, to asserting power over them, to working together with them to build new forms of community.

Table of Contents
Part I The society of flows: the paths of reason; the economy of circulation; the crossroads of evolution. Part II Utopias of the universal bond: the cult of the network; the temple of industry; the communitarian city. Part III The hierachization of the world; symbolic propagation; strategic thought. Part IV The measure of the individual: the protrayal of crowds; the pace of the human motor; the market of target groups. Epilogue: new organic totalities?
