`This is an important book. It adopts an unconventional stance as it seeks to explore the mystique of science and science parks ... it carries powerful messages for policy-makers and industrialists alike.' - Service Industries Journal `Provides a much-needed antidote to the mythology that has been built up around the science park phenomena.' - Environmental Planning `High Tech Fantasies is worthwhile reading as social commentary, if not for its methodology. It covers a wide range of interesting and important topics. And, it raises some critical questions about the advisability of science parks as public policy.' - Tijdschrift voor Econ. en Soc. Geografie `There is a great deal to appreciate and think about in this clearly written and exceptionally well-researched book. The blend between theory and empirical work is exemplary and the authors' demystifications can only assist those regions and societies considering their own versions of the science park.' - International Journal of Urban and Regional Research `This book makes a valuable contribution to the debate which views science parks as being valuable instruments of public policy to promote economic development.' - New Technology, Work and Employment
