If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!
Yes. Many.
Start with Lou Galambos' seminal piece, "The Emerging Organizational Synthesis in Modern American History" This article describes (among other things) a trend/change in historiography to see historical change as driven by organizations/institutions rather than individual actors. As you might imagine, this was a contentious topic. To many in the social historical 'school,' this was quite a shot across the bow. The article is one of the many roots of the 'agency wars' of the 80s and 90s, where historians argued ad nauseum about who/what drove historical change.
Then go to Tuomi's Networks of Innovation More-or-less foundational to the topic you describe.
Then go to Manuel Castell's The Rise of the Network Society It's a fantastic book. BOMK, still the best treatment.
Then start wandering through footnotes. There's a ton of stuff out there on networks and information as drivers for all sorts of things.
