Dear Iman -

These are old books, about Africa rather than
Indonesia, but Jules-Rossette does an excellent job
from a marxist perspective on ownerships of
technology, particularly from a developing world
perspective (she may have written something recently).

For a marxist understanding of IT and its meaning to
political economies generally, you can look to Steve
Fuller, perhaps this is the best one I can refer you
to.

Fuller, S. 2001. Knowledgement management foundations.
Boston: Butterworth-Heinemann.

Open Source will be the next problem . . . but these
will give you some basics.

Cheers, Denise
