"The network perspective is proving to be the most important contemporary frame with which to understand the forces shaping technology, economics and society in the 21st century. Howard provides a clear, comprehensive and critical explanation of the work of the world′s pre–eminent network theorist, Manuel Castells. Using accessible language the reader is introduced to Castells′ ideas about media, globalization, digitalization, and, most importantly, power. Castells and the Media shows just how important and central Castells is for anyone who wishes to understand contemporary society and media."
Steve Jones, University of Illinois at Chicago
