Music, Modernity, and the Global Imagination: South Africa and the West
Some of the information seems dated and stale, not surprising considering that it was published in 2004. My fault for not getting to it sooner. I didn't get the part about networked media being feminine and how it will help balance the yin and yang that has been out of kilter since the Middle Ages. Banister concludes his book with 11 predictions for the 5 year future of networked media, many of which have occurred. The one he missed was the role of social media in political revolution (okay, maybe that one took 7 years).
