I recommend Nick Dyer-Witherford, author of "Cyber-Marx" and Professor of Information and Media Studies at the University of Western Ontario. If you read his book (and you should have, seeing as he quoted your book ;), he presents an interesting vision of a "better world" and he is extremely knowledgeable of the current state of the new technologies and "productive forces" and their potentials .

As one of his book's reviewers says, "Those interested in understanding the vast changes we are undergoing and how we can use technologies to create a better future should find Dyer-Witherford's work extremely useful".
