Reviews

'Christian Fuchs provides a much-needed account of authoritarianism under communicative capitalism. This thorough, empirically-rich study is essential reading for anyone concerned with the intensification of far-right power in a digital age'
*Jodi Dean, author of Crowds and Party (Verso, 2016)*

'Trump. Modi. Erdogan. Duterte. Le Pen. Farage. The list of authoritarian rulers and their henchmen goes on and on. For an excellent guide to understanding Trump and the dangerous worldwide movement he leads, you need go no further than this conceptually rich and empirically detailed book'
*Vincent Mosco, author of Becoming Digital: Toward a Post-Internet Society (Emerald Publishing, 2017)*
