Hi~,

I will open an graduate course on "Network and Society". Through this course I would like to discuss about information society from those treaditional scholars as Baniel Bell and Fritz Matchl upto the latest ones who argued for information capitalism and congnitive capitalism. I will also introduce those scholars who give us deeper understanding as Manuel Castells, Jan van Dijk, and Frank Webster.

I wonder if there is some textbook which can be usesd as a reference book in this class. I am looking for the one that can serve us with more balanced guideline between critical and positive approaches.

Many thanks in advance.

James
