pathbreaking contribution to the understanding of the history of
computing and networking. Based on detailed empirical research in
Russian archives, it extends the reach of these histories into new,
non-Anglo-American domains. In describing the complex institutional and
political reasons for the ultimate failure of the All-State Automated
Systems (OGAS), How Not to Network a Nation challenges common
assumptions about the relationships between decentralization, free
markets, and electronic networking. Peters’s treatment of Soviet
networking brings into sharper view the infrastructures, power
relations, successes, and shortcomings of our own electronic networks.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best regards,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Andy</div></div></blockquote></div></div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><span class="">______________________________<wbr class="">_________________</span><br class=""><span class="">This email is relayed from members at <a href="http://sigcis.org/" target="_blank" class="">sigcis.org</a>, the email discussion list of SHOT SIGCIS.
