Manuel Castells is one of the world's leading thinkers on the new information age, hailed by The Economist as "the first significant philosopher of cyberspace, " and by Christian Science Monitor as "a pioneer who has hacked out a logical, well-documented, and coherent picture of early 21st century civilization, even as it rockets forward largely in a blur." Now, in The Internet Galaxy, this brilliant and insightful writer speculates on how the Internet will change our lives. Castells believes that we are "entering, full speed, the Internet Galaxy, in the midst of informed bewilderment." His aim in this profound work is to help us understand how the Internet came into being, and how it is affecting every area of human life. For instance, Castells reveals the Internet's capacity to liberate, but also discusses its ability to marginalize and exclude those without access. Eschewing glib explanations and solutions, he asks us all to take responsibility for the future of this new information age. [예스24 제공]

  • "If you don't care about the networks, the networks will take care about you." This sentence from the books motivates Castells' work. Internet Galaxy examines various aspects of the network society and should be required reading for anyone living in this new millennium.
