Some influential social theorists and some management gurus share the view that we now live in a digital information capitalism defined by networked and 'immaterial' politics. Digital Publics traces the historical roots of this thinking, demonstrates its flaws, and shows that it leads to a rather conformist political activism in the public sphere.
