Review
"" The Network Nation ... "contained a fascinating vision. In it home computers are as common as the telephone. They link person to person, shrinking, as the authors put it, 'time and distance barriers among people, and between people and information, to near zero.' In its simplest form, the Network Nation is a place where thoughts are exchanged easily and democratically and intellect affords one more personal power than a pleasing appearance does. Minorities and women compete on equal terms with white males, and the elderly and handicapped are released from the confines of their infirmities to skim the electronic terrain as swiftly as anyone else. -- Teresa Carpenter, Village Voice
