Prospero's Wireless
This biography of Peter Eckersley traces the origins of a pioneer of the art of broadcasting. Born the youngest son of a successful railway engineer who died when Peter was four, his career starts at school in 1910, when he built an amateur wireless transmitting station. After training as an electrical engineer and serving in the war (R.R.C.) he joined the Marconi Company and, in 1921, began the first regular public broadcasting service in Britain. He became the fifth employee of the British Broadcasting Company. As Chief Engineer, he forged the BBC network. Eckersley's career as both an engineer and popular broadcaster ended when he was sacked by Sir John Reith for being involved in a divorce. He was then involved in the dangerous politics of the 1930's. He acted as a mercenary for European commercial radio, was a founder of wireless transmission by wire (now Cable) and, from 1937-39, helped MI6 to build up their secret propaganda broadcasts against Hitler from radio stations in Europe while being an anti-war supporter.

Digital Revolution
Digital Revolution addresses the structural transformation of our society, in the context of the dominant impact of technologies, and the consequent changes in the overall production and wealth appropriation system. This is much beyond ‘Industry 4.0’ or neoliberalism concepts: the digital revolution is as deep as the industrial revolution was, more than two centuries ago. It is not a new feature or phase of capitalism; it goes beyond it. New structures are being born. When manufacture surged in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was not feudalism being modernized, but a new system – capitalism - being born. Similarly, what is surging now is not just a new feature of capitalism, but a new ...
Net Neutrality and the Battle for the Open Internet
“Net neutrality,” a dry but crucial standard of openness in network access, began as a technical principle informing obscure policy debates but became the flashpoint for an all-out political battle for the future of communications and culture. Net Neutrality and the Battle for the Open Internet is a critical cultural history of net neutrality that reveals how this intentionally “boring” world of internet infrastructure and regulation hides a fascinating and pivotal sphere of power, with lessons for communication and media scholars, activists, and anyone interested in technology and politics. While previous studies and academic discussions of net neutrality have been dominated by legal, economic, and technical perspectives, Net Neutrality and the Battle for the Open Internet offers a humanities-based critical theoretical approach, telling the story of how activists and millions of everyday people, online and in the streets, were able to challenge the power of the phone and cable corporations that historically dominated communications policy-making to advance equality and justice in media and technology.
