Rezensionen

Reviews of the Second Edition:

(Anthony Giddens, The Times Higher Education Supplement)
"We live today in a period of intense and puzzling transformation, signalling perhaps a move beyond the industrial era altogether. Yet where are the great sociological works that chart this transition? Hence the importance of Manuel Castells' multivolume work, in which he seeks to chart the social and economic dynamics of the information age . . . [It] is bound to be a major reference source for years to come."

(Wall Street Journal)
"Adam Smith explained how capitalism worked, and Karl Marx explained why it didn't. Now the social and economic relations of the Information Age have been captured by Manuel Castells."

(The Economist)
"So far, the person who has straddled the world of social theory and Silicon Valley most successfully is Manuel Castells. Castells enjoys a growing reputation as the first significant philosopher of cyberspace."

(Wired)
"A must-read."

(Financial Times)
"This book goes a considerable way to helping us make sense of today's global information economy and our place in it."

"A brief review cannot do it justice. No other scholar has approached the subject of the information age in as engaging and innovative a way as this author. Strongly recommended for academic libraries."

-M. Perelman, California State University
