Rennstich, Joachim K. (2008). The making of a digital world: the evolution of technological change and how it shaped our world. Evolutionary processes in world politics series. Palgrave Macmillan, New York.

Providing a unique, empirically based perspective on the past and future development of globalization as a long-term process emerging in different parts of the world, this book puts current changes in a historical context in a systematic fashion, unpacking the global political, economic, social, and cultural implications of this change. It traces the resemblance of past commercial networks with emerging digital networks and contrasts them with industrial production systems.
