I prefer working through the book which is an infinitely superior
data/information transmission method. It is after all a 470++ page book....

The foucault ref equiv in the book is chapter 1.2 pp 22 onwards. The conflation
of the foucault argument on discipline, frankfurt school, and deleuze and
gauttari on 'control society' is excellent. The drawing out of the
interconnections is important given the tendency to draw out differences that
predominates in these discussions...
