In addition to its rich intellectual texture and mother-lode of information about computer hard- and software, it is a quick read because the author has a sharpe tongue and makes excellent points. -- Ted Becker * American Political Science Review *\u003cbr\u003eThe book presents an originality that is refreshing. Few authors have analysed information technology from the “meta-perspective” of Barney. While reading the book I spontaneously felt “this is a book that concerns everyone.” Ideally, the text should be recommended to all students involved in economic, technical and philosophical disciplines. \u003cem\u003ePrometheus Wired \u003c\/em\u003eis superbly written and thought provoking. -- Fabian von Schéele * Telecommunications Policy *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eFigures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 Prometheus Wired\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2 On Technology\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3 Networks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4 The Political Economy of Network Technology I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5 The Political Economy of Network Technology II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e6 A Standing Reserve of Bits\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e7 Government, Politics, and Democracy: Network Technology as Stand-in Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of British Columbia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404906438999,"sku":"9780774807968","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780774807968.jpg?v=1730488009","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/prometheus-wired-9780774807968","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
