Reviews for The Soft Edge: Natural History and Future of the Information Revolution

1. For those craving a MACRO/GLOBAL VIEW of today & Tomorrow.

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, March 12th, 1999

   An enormously insightful panorama and investigation into the past, present and future evolution of information technology. The author looks at the impact of IT on society and the history of media of all types, from the introduction of the alphabet over hieroglyphics, to the photo-electronic revolution, to the age of computers and creation of the Web. The book concludes with ideas for the future, including ways to protect intellectual property, ethics, and ultimate possibilities for artificial intelligence. This is a work of both depth and breadth. For those who crave the macro/global perspective of the world, this book will be a fascinating find. Bibliography. HIGHLY recommended.
