Media Reviews
Carr has produced an honest account of power in the information age. It is certainly worth a read for those contemplating the complex nascent field of IR in the era of cyberspace. People would likely enjoy it both at the start of their academic journey and further into it, as a way of seeking perspective. The book's qualities allow it to also lend itself to interesting debate around where the US power is headed and, indeed, its relevance altogether.
