Hi all:

I'm curious: what are recommended sources for social and cultural theories of 
computer networks?: specifically, social theories having to do with the 
technology's expansion across space.  I'm need to make a fairly explicit analogy 
between the social implications of the historical development/organization and 
colonization of space of computer networks and another, older communication 
technology.  I don't need to make analogies to other older communication 
technologies (writing, print, telegraph, telephone, radio, TV, etc. ? or 
phonograph, on which I've written.  I pretty familiar with that literature).  
For purposes of this project, I just need sources on computer networks.  I 
probably need to re-read Castells, because it's been a while.  Anything else?

Thanks!

Holly
