About This Item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1995. First edition. First edition stated. Presumed first printing. Hardcover. Good in good dust jacket. Slightly cocked.. viii, 243, [1] p. Index. In this title, the author examines the startling implications of the digital revolution and how it is transforming the way we live. His belief is that all forms of media--text, voice, and video--are changing the fundamental way in which we view information. In the future he predicts that the real gap in society will not be economic, but between those who are fluent with digital tools like personal computers and online communications, and those who are not. In an optimistic tone, he describes this road map of digital change as a natural force that will draw people together for greater world harmony.
