    摘要、提要註: This book explores the new terrain of network capitalism through thetransformations of the discourse on technology. Rather than viewing such discourse as either a true or false reflection of reality, Fisher evaluates the ideological role that technology discourse plays in the legitimation of a new form of capitalism. Based on an extensive empirical analysis, the book argues that contemporary technology discourse at oneand the same time promises more personal empowerment through network technology and legitimates a more privatized, flexible, and precarious economic constellations. Such discourse signals a new tradeoff in the political culture of capitalism, from a legitimation discourse which emphasizes the capacity of technology and technique to bring about social emancipation (through equality, stability, and security) to a legitimation discourse which focuses on the capacity of technology to bring aboutindividual emancipation (through individual empowerment, authenticity,creativity, and cooperation). Contrary to the prevailing assumption that sees network technology as liberating from the rigidity and pitfallsof a stifling, Fordist capitalism, the book offers a theoreticalframework which sees contemporary technology discourse as an ideology that legitimates the economic,social, and political arrangements of the new capitalism.
