Summary: This major collection brings together contributions on post-industrial society and the ‘techno-economic’ realm from an impressive range of key thinkers, including Marx, Penty, Riesman, Bell, Castells, Touraine, Dahrendorf, Giddens, Gorz and Lyotard. The 80 papers collected in the volumes outline the emergence, development, and historical roots of post-industrialism; critically engage with the thesis and related themes; explore economic and political dimensions, as well as the related notions of information and knowledge society; draw attention to the military-industrial roots of information technology; and in addition give consideration to other ‘post-industrial’ matters involving architecture and design, urban spaces, and increasingly important issues associated with surveillance and the environment.
