...a book well-worth reading. * JASIST (Journal of the American Society for Information Science & Technology) *
...the book is a strong, theoretical push, borrowing from a Marxist perspective, to draw a historical perspective on information technologies and their uses. The book's chapters, which actually act as stand alone essays, begin with a description of the perspective, lead into research from and with this perspective, and end with a discussion of the prominence this perspective could play in future developments....Warner's greatest contribution with this book is its attempt to rebuke the limited understanding of information technology in information science. * British Journal of Educational Technology *
