Richard Rogers presents a profoundly different way of thinking about information in cyberspace, one that supports the political efforts of democratic activists and NGOs and takes seriously the epistemological issues at the heart of networked communications. His approach is light-years ahead of other research: Not only are the four political instruments he has developed for analyzing the Web innovative, but the set of theoretical assumptions underlying them breaks new ground. He rejects the tired and banal focus on fandom, porn, and aliens that took cyber-theory into a cultural and political wasteland. His Web is instead a serious, dynamic site of political struggle.
