"The way people think determines the fate of norms and values on which societies are constructed. While coercion and fear are critical sources for imposing the will of the dominants over the dominated, few institutional systems can last long if they are predominantly based on sheer repression."

“In the network society, the space of flows dissolves time by disordering the sequence of events and making them simultaneous in the communication networks, thus installing society in structural ephemerality: being cancels becoming.”

“Each ‘urban struggle’ must have its structural content specified, and be considered in terms of the role it plays vis-à-vis the various social classes involved. Then and only then will we know what we are talking about.”

“By social movements we mean a certain type of organisation of social practices, the logic of whose development contradicts the institutionally dominant social logic”

“Technological systems are socially produced. Social production is culturally informed. The Internet is no exception.”

“:1) It concerns an already structured social space, of which it changes the form, the social content and/or function.”

“the Internet is the technological basis for the organizational form of the Information Age: the network.”
