Crooked Timber
Henry Farrell reviewed Digital Phoenix on Crooked Timber. He wrote:
Bruce Abramson’s’ Digital Phoenix is a smart read – it combines an excellent overview of the recent developments of the digital economy, with some important insights into how it works. The writing style is pacey, the stories (the Microsoft-Netscape battles, the MP3 wars, the birth of open source) are well told, and the quite substantial intellectual content is delivered in a user-friendly format. It’s the best non-technical account I’ve read of how network economies do and do not work in the information age. I’ll be assigning it to my students – as far as I can see, it’s the best and most complete account available.
He also wrote a good deal more. Read it all here.
