Opis

This book provides a critical assessment of progress towards the Information Society. Drawing upon unique empirical data, this book lays the foundation for more useful theories of the process of change, and more effective strategies and policies for increasing the benefits from the Information Society. The authors provide insights into the social, economic, and political forces that are structuring the pathway to the Information Society-and its consequences for business and individuals in their everyday lives.

Recenzje

Offers a comprehensive assessment of the European Information Society programme ... provides an authoritative antidote to visions driven by technological determinism and technological utopianism ... of considerable interest to any serious analyst of the topic.
