"Ned Rossiter's remarkable contribution effectively inaugurates a new branch of media theory - a media theory of logistics which addresses the movement of bodies and things, labor and commodities underlying the flows of information. Grounded in empirical and collective research projects, it moves between China, India, Australia, Europe and South America to chart and diagram what runs beneath the smooth surfaces of digital networks. A brilliant piece of research, highly recommended." –Tiziana Terranova, University of Naples, 'L'Orientale'"Ned Rossiter is one of the finest analysts of the old, middle-aged, and newer media around. Software, Infrastructure, Labor brings together his central concerns in a bold and exciting way. Read on and feel the scales drop from your eyes!" –Toby Miller, Loughborough University London
