a list of various privacy people that I came across when researching an article on this mob
should this be in my ratava online identity blog? probably. but if I'm going to look at this stuff for study, maybe I should merge them.

this semester's reading list:

Recommended Reading

Castells, M., The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture, 'The Rise of The Network Society, Vol 1, 'The Power of Identity', Vol 2, 'End Of Millenium, Vol 3 , Blackwells, 1996-8.
Hudson, H., Global Connections, Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, 1997.

Wilson, R., Dissanayake, W., (eds.) Global Local, Duke University Press, 1997.

I already have the first book, which is by the lecturer. but I balked at buying all the rest, even tax-deductibly. especially negroponte, who has always sounded fluffy to me.
so I hit the library and as it's six weeks before term goes back, got every single one for a month. I'll buy the ones that look good.
