In summary, William Mitchell, Dean of the school of architecture and planning at MIT and head of media arts and sciences at the MIT Media Lab, believes that networks should become a crucial part of our lives and influence critical policy and design debates during times of rapid technological and social change. He aims to achieve this through books that may seem strange but make sense upon closer examination, sparking interest and possibly fear in readers.
