Forester, Tom.

High-Tech society: the story of the information technology revolution - Oxford Basil Black Well 1988 - 311p.

High-Tech Society is the most definitive account available of the technology revolution that is transforming society and dramatically changing the way we live and 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.
