Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Release 2.0 launched a worldwide discussion about the impact of the Internet on our lives. Now, in the "upgraded", paperback edition, high-tech industry leader Esther Dyson expands on her remarkable exploration of our digital society, integrating commentary generated by the hardback's publication and discussions on the Release 2.0 Web site.

A Baedeker for navigating--and influencing--the social, political, ethical and business implications of the Internet, Release 2.1 outlines the choices and conflicts we face: our desire for privacy vs society's interest in openness; flourishing creativity vs the protection of intellectual property; government oversight vs personal autonomy. Dyson deftly negotiates the schism between security and freedom and propels us to consider and help shape the world in which we want to live.



Product Description

This text takes a look beyond technology to the people who live and work in a technological world, and recognizes the changes technology will make to society and its structures. It explores the conflicts arising between personal privacy and society's interest in openess.
