It argues that there is no longer an ′outside′ to the global flows of communication and that the critique of information must take place within the information itself.

The operative unit of the information society is the idea.

It is these ideas that make the critique of information possible. This book is a major testament to the prospects of culture, politics and theory in the global information society.
