Communication Power

I would oppose to a previous reviewer here and encourage communication professionals or just interested people to read it. Instead of usual aimless wandering in the realm of social studies or fancy stories about how internet changes your life, this book aims at grabbing together concepts of network society, discoveries in neurophysiology and other fields and then tries to make meaningful conclusions. It is all based upon extensive base of references.

Castells is a thinker for new type of society, called network society and in this he is very current. Of course, at some point, the book may be difficult to follow, since he tries to walk the reader through long and winding path to many disciplines.

Considering this is a book about communication it is the most badly written book I have ever read. There are some good (and interesting) points made but a very difficult book 'to get into'.
