Edited by Tom Forester, this authoritative anthology assembles leading thinkers, scientists, and industry analysts to map the seismic shifts driven by computing, telecommunications, and automation — chronicling how these interlocking technologies were dismantling old industrial orders and constructing an entirely new information economy in their place.\n\nForester presents a panoramic and rigorously researched survey that cuts across disciplines — from economics and sociology to engineering and policy — offering readers a complete guide to the forces rewriting the rules of work, commerce, and daily life. The collection argues that the information revolution is not merely a technical phenomenon but a profound social and cultural upheaval, one whose consequences would echo far beyond the laboratory or the factory floor. For anyone seeking to understand how the modern world was wired, this volume remains an indispensable — and surprisingly prescient — historical document that asks questions we are still, decades later, trying to answer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203185352923,"sku":"2026200015030-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/af5d1583-aa7c-4286-9e73-9e3625bcc490.png?v=1788145155","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015030-secondhand-the-information-technology-revolution","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
