Manuel Castells is one of the world's best-known social
scientists. His work is often compared, in scope and ambition, with
that of Marx or Weber. Renowned for his trilogy "The Information
Age," he has published widely on technology and innovation,
including the Internet, planning and urban issues, identity, social
movements and international business and politics.
Here Castells explains and expands his work in a series of
conversations with British journalist Martin Ince. He builds on his
earlier work, opening it to new audiences and taking it into new
areas in a highly accessible way.
These conversations include new thinking on social organizations
and identity, new areas of innovation, including education,
knowledge and culture, and his analysis of such areas of the world
as Africa, Russia, Europe, North and South America and Asia of
which Castells has specialist knowledge. The book also contains a
detailed biography of Castells and a bibliography of his voluminous
scholarly work.
