Dear Bob Hughes,

maybe my essay "Software Engineering and the Production of Surplus Value"
(In: Cultural Logic, Vol. 4 (2002), No. 3) is interesting for you:
http://eserver.org/clogic/2002/fuchs.html  In the list of references you can
find further books and articles on Marxist views about information society,
new media, new economy, etc. Especially interesting, although not mentioned
in my essaym are the works of Herbert Schiller.
Best,
Christian Fuchs
