The Information Society cover

First Published in 1989. There is still much concern over social problems. Invasion of privacy, computer crime, control of information, information inequity, and unemployment due to automation continue to be studied as their existence is no longer a matter of speculation. The emphasis of this book is less on the consequences of information technology than on understanding the nature of information societies.

"...makes provocative reading for a wide audience and is sure to stimulate heated discussion and debate."
Science Books & Films

"...provides a valuable introduction to the emerging concepts and approaches for operationally defining an `information society.' The work's strength is its attention to social, structural and economic factors which are useful in identifying postindustrial societies....offers an exciting analysis of an emerging frontier that will continue to command the interests of social scientists in years to come."
