p9:
" The archetypal structure of the network, with its accumulation and habitation sites, links, dynamic flow patterns, interdependenciesm and control points, is now repeated at every scale from that of neural networks (neurons, axons, synapses) and digital circuitry (registers, electron pathways, switches) to that of global transportation networks ( warehouses, shipping and air route, ports of entry). And networks of different types and scales are integrated into larger network complexes tserving multyple functions. Depending upon our relationships to the associated social and political structures, eeach of us can potentially play many different roles (some strong, some weak) at nodes witin these complexes-owner, authorized user, operator, occupant, occupier, tenant, custoemr, guest, sojourner, tourist, immigrant, alien, iterloper, infiltrator, trespasser, snooper, besieger, cracker, hijacker, invader, gatekeeper, jailer, or prisoner. Power and political identity have become insepareble from these roles. "

p117 "Virtual Communities or Network society?"
"The dominant trend in the evolution of social relationships in our societies is the rise of individualism, in all its manifestations. It is cultural in the sense of material culture, that is, a system of values and beliefs informing behaviour that is rooted in the material conditions of work and livelihood in our societies. "
