Praise for this book

'Simakova has produced an absolutely excellent, theoretically sophisticated, empirically rich account of the production of emerging technologies. It is a fascinating read for those interested in organizational ethnography, marketing practice and critical marketing studies. I cannot recommend it highly enough.'
