About the Book

`A rare overview of the IT phenomenon...What we need, in fact, are many more books like "High-Tech Society".' Hugo Cornwall, The Guardian `Quite simply, the best book I've read about computers. It is a rare bird indeed among the plethora of computer books; the author manages to straddle with seemingly no effort at all the world of both the computer-literate and illiterate.' David Hinley, The Mercury, Hobart ``High-Tech Society' is simply the best book ever written on computers and technology...All the others pale in comparison...It is that good. I cannot recommend it too highly.' Sydney Morning Herald, Australia `Forester translates computerese into everyday English. High-Tech Society succeeds well in its objective: it is an informed, comprehensive, readable treatise.' South West Book Review, Texas, USA `This book is an unusually comprehensive and readable discussion of the issues...it stands head and shoulders above the rest.' Ian Miles, Prometheus `Broad-ranging and engaging, written in amiable fluid prose.' Bob Kling, New York Times `Evenly-balanced, competent and well-documented.' Michael Marien, Future Survey `Business people, politicians and media types should all read this book.' Toronto Globe & Mail `It is difficult to think of a better alternative.' Financial Times `High-Tech Society' is the most definitive account available of the technology revolution that is transforming society and dramatically changing the way we live, work and maybe even think. `High-Tech Society' is written in popular, easy-flowing style, with none of the mystifying jargon that spoils other books on the subject. Every acronym or computer term is defined and explained in plain English. Steering a sensible course between wild enthusiasm and outright pessimism, Forester's approach is sane and balanced. He clearly shows that there are two sides to the high-tech story. By far the most up-to-date and comprehensive account of the state-of-the-art in high-tech, covering every aspect of the impact of IT on business and society as a whole, this book is essential reading for students, employees and entrepreneurs.
