Along the way he discovered a good deal...

Dice Margarita Martínez: "Cada uno de los capítulos de este libro es un fogonazo. La escena iluminada pertenece a la historia de la comunicación, la figuración pública o la política. Y al mostrarnos un estado de cosas en la polis digital, Patricio Erb nos revela qué tipo de pactos se nos invita a sostener, cuáles son sus puntos ciegos o sus derrames en ganancias.
Así, La villa miseria digital narra la administración interesada de la palabra...
