'A must read for those seeking to understand the impact of digital culture and their attendant communication technologies on our quest for liberty and equality' -- Hector Postigo, Associate Professor of Media Studies and Production, Temple University 'A determined philosophical inquiry into the nature of information politics, from the abstraction of the cloud to the battlegrounds of hactivists, to identify the forms of exploitation and liberation endemic to the recursive movement of information. This book offers rich philosophical grounding for current and future studies of new media' -- Tarleton Gillespie, Associate Professor, Department of Communication, Cornell University 'A compelling and incisive account of fundamental developments in our increasingly digital world. His sophisticated theoretical analysis is clearly articulated and is based on a thorough grasp of both the technical and the social. He brilliantly avoids both cultural pessimism and techno-utopianism in his presentation of 'political antagonisms'' -- Sally Wyatt, Professor of Digital Cultures in Development, Maastricht University 'This is an academic book of the highest quality that tackles what is sure to be the defining struggle of the 21st century: the struggle for control over access to information' -- Nathalie Maréchal, International Journal of Communication
