Castells believes that 'The openness of the Internet's architecture was the source of its main strength'. Then he states that the 'Internet Culture' is structured by four kinds of culture including: 'the techno-meritocratic culture', 'the culture', 'the virtual communication culture', and 'the entrepreneurial culture'. Next, Castells analyses the vital status of Internet in the business and economy fields, and he refers to the impact of virtual communication which is based on the Internet communication to the reality in the following chapter. In terms of the Politics of the Internet, Castells points that 'social movement' and 'the political process' use Internet as a new communication medium to 'acting' and 'informing'.

Opening: The Network is the Message [ ] The title used for the preface or introductory text is called 'Opening' and the name given to this Opening is 'The Network is the Message'. It is a mimicry of 's famous slogan '. By substituting network for medium, Castells reinforces McLuhan's message that, in this case, it is the network which is important not the content. The opening may then be seen to be an invitation to explore the meaning of network via the content of the book.

The word network itself is of ambiguous interpretation: infrastructure or society? Both interpretations are at play in the book.

Since Castells is by profession a sociologist, then one expects a focus on network as society. Lessons from the History of the Internet [ ] Castells introduces the label to characterize all those who participated with 'big science' and 'military research' in bringing the Internet into being. The history of the Internet is diverse and well documented. Castells makes considerable use of John Naughton's text, 'A Brief History of the Future', who noted for example that the Request for Comment Feature (RFC), introduced by Steve Crocker in 1969-04-07, not only gave rise to a de facto documenting of the research ideas at the time of their fermenting but also to the Open Source movement. Castells gives his own take on the subject. Ultimately, for him, the Internet is a cultural creation. The Culture of the Internet [ ] 'The culture of the Internet is a culture made up of a technocratic belief in the progress of humans through technology, enacted by thriving on free and open technological creativity, embedded in aimed at reinventing society, and materialized by money-driven entrepreneurs into the workings of the new economy.'
