“This is the book that forms the starting point for anyone wishing to engage in contemporary debates on planning in/outside of contemporary capitalism. It brings to life what might be imagined in terms of how we use new technologies to re-engage the question, and actuality, of what a planned alternative to capitalism might look like.” David J. Bailey, University of Birmingham
