An introduction to the various perspectives on the information society.
Hassan brings both positive and negative appraisals of the impact of computing in our lives into a coherent and student-friendly narrative.
The book both highlights contemporary examples but also gives a strong historical account of the development from an industrial to an information society.
Will work as a textbook on a range of courses, including media studies and sociology.
