Description:
Abstract The information age has been marked by complex advancements in the technologies of social management. Many of these advancements have been discussed in recent political theory.

My research substantiates a number of claims made in recent political theory regarding control societies, and indicates that only a politics of positive feedback is adequate to the mechanism of such societies.
