Review
"An exciting, major contribution to the field of history, for it establishes very convincingly that the growth of... power networks is as intrinsic to and characteristic of modern society as the growth of manorialism was to medieval society." -- American Historical Review
"How the West was wired." -- Times Literary Supplement
