3.0 out of 5 stars Provoking statements - a bit political, but many fine points, 29 Oct 2000
By jakob@diness.dk (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews
I found the book interesting in some ways and very annoying in others. The first 4-5 chapters are in my view the most interesting even though I don't agree in some of the statistical surprises. For instance the electronic Happy Birthday card contains more computer power than existed on the planet in 1945 is undocumented and probably only right in some weird measurement. However, I find the overall picture very well written.

The weakness is that many of the last chapters contain more politics and "lets-get-rid-of - government" talks than I expected, and that is not very interesting nor does a lot of it have relevance to the weightless world. Although there are some good points such as the discussion of big cities concentration vs rural development.

Aside from the occasionally political standpoints it is a good and thorough book of the consequenses of the so-called "new economy" on society.
