Reviews

| “This book is a welcome addition to the burgeoning literature on the
geography of the information society ... The parallels drawn to related
booms and busts of earlier eras demonstrate that the novelty of the ‘new’
economy is as mythical as the ‘end’ of geography in the information age.”
Eric Sheppard, University of Minnesota “…traces the Internet
industry from its beginnings … the best picture yet of the Internet boom of
the 1990s, its decline in 2000 and 2001, and its stability and slower growth
since.” Edward J. Malecki, The Ohio State University
“... an authoritative and engaging account of contemporary urban-regional
economic development in the information age, that has real explanatory power
much like Jean Gottmann’s Megalopolis had in the 1960s. The
Geography of the Internet Industry deserves a place on the reading lists
of anyone serious about understanding the recent past of the Internet.”
Martin Dodge, University College London |
