About the book

Presents a wide-ranging analysis of the role of the state in the promotion and exploitation of the communications industry and the ways that it has used the information machines of contemporary American society to support imperial ventures abroad. The book's central theme is that the pillar of the US economy - the ever-expanding communication sector - is also the most crucial element in keeping capitalism alive, providing as it does a source of entertainment that plays a major role in diverting the population.
