Charting the Global Information Economy in the 21st Century.
Second Edition.
Will the information revolution create a global village, populated by self-fulfilled infonauts, or a dreary treadmill? This book is an antidote to the overly optimistic picture which some futurologists have painted, describing a world of opportunity for some and a slide into deprivation for others. It includes a unique 'Infostructure Index' in which Michael Connors gives a snapshot of the world's information flow and availability. The book is a stark illustration of the gap between the information winners and potential losers.
