From: Manuel Castells, The Rise of the Networked Society, Blackwell Publishing, 1996, p. 469

Networks constitute the new social morphology of our society and the diffusion of networking logic substantially modifies the operation and outcomes in the processes of production, experience, power and culture. While the networking form of social organization has existed in other times and spaces, the new information technology paradigm provides the basis for its pervasive expansion throughout the entire social structure.”
