The utopian promise of the internet, much talked about even a few years ago, has given way to the information highway's brutal realities: coltan mines in the Congo, electronics factories in China, devastated neighbourhoods in Detroit. In 'Cyber-Proletariat', Nick Dyer-Witheford shows the dark side of the information revolution through an unsparing analysis of class power and computerization.
