[Air-l] recs for books/essays on new media political economies

[jeremy hunsinger]

my class isn't really new media, but there is some cross over between 
the political economy of the internet/information society, i suppose, 
so my class uses:
Manuel Castells The Network Society
Michael Perelman Class Warfare in the Information Age
Lawrence Lessig  The Future of Ideas
Virtuality CHeck  Francois Fourtier

other works:
Dyer-Witherford, Nick  Cybermarx
Stephen Kline, et. al. Digital Play: the Interaction of Technology, 
Culture and Marketing
Lawrence Lessig, Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace
Mueller, Milton. Ruling the Root: Internet Governance and the Taming of 
Cyberspace
Negri, Antonia, and Hart  Empire
