Revue de presse

Beautifully produced by the Oxford University Press, carefully edited, and its 22 short chapters feature essays by a larger number of the most prominent researchers in the Information and Communication Technology areas ... It is the sort of book that will appeal to anyone seriously interested in ICTs and their pervasive influence in all advanced societies. Who can resist the considered views of leading researchers in such an appealing form in such an attractive-looking book? (European Journal of Communication)

This book provides an interesting and rich synthesis of some of the main results of the impressive amount of research activities promoted in the United Kingdom by PICT ... the book aims at helping the understanding of the critical options facing individuals and societies so as to make possible better informed judgements on the implications for policy and practice. (Journal of Research Policy)

...Bill Dutton, the last Director of PICT has done a most excellent job in his editing of this volume. Technovation, 19 (1999). S MacDonald
