by Michael L. Dertouzos

Published 26 June 1997
This is a guide to the Information Revolution, which gives a preview of the inventions that will usher in a Third Revolution to rival the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. It provides detailed analysis of the changes we will experience in everyday life, in the pursuit of pleasure, health, learning, office work, commerce, manufacturing and governance. It also reveals how the new century's global information marketplace will affect half of the world's industrial economies, and uncovers what is wrong with technology, and how it can be put right.
