| Abstract
|
:
|
Deals with questions about how power and resistance operate in contemporary society. This title argues that critique must take place from within information flows, rather than from the safety of 'academic detachment' and that information is power. It presents the prospects of intellectual life in an age dominated by global flows of information.
