protocols: "a technology that regulates flow, directs netspace, codes relationships, and connects lifeforms" (30)
3 kinds of networks: centralized (pyramidal, hierarchical), decentralized (backbone with radiating peripheries), distributed (no backbone or center) (32-3)
disciplinary societies (Foucault) vs. control societies (Deleuze) (35)
- "Control is not simply manipulation, but rather modulation." (35)
- "Networks are, in this sense, the horizon of control." (36)
individuation and networks (37-8) -- "really a problem of establishing the very conditions in which a network can exist at all" (38) -- i.e. a problem of sovereignty
