Network Culture: Politics for the Information Age

THIS IS NOT AN IT BOOK.

This is a book about (among other things) information and entropy, cybernetics and thermodynamics, mailing lists and talk
shows, the electronic Ummah and chaos theory, web rings and web logs, mobile robots, cellular automata and the New Economy,
open-source programming and reality TV, masses and multitudes, communication management and information warfare, networked
political movements, open architecture, image flows and the interplay of affects and meanings in the constitution of the common.

It is a book, that is, about a cultural formation, a network culture, that seems to be characterized by an unprecedented abundance of informational output and by an acceleration of informational dynamics.
