This is a collection of published and original monologues by Peter Cochrane about the likely effects of new technology on business and society today and in the future. Together, they represent a penetrating and entertaining insight into cutting-edge technology. From the information superhighway to the Internet, office robots to virtual meetings, digital money to home banking, mobile communication to New Age nomads, technophobia to computer games, artificial life systems to sex, Cochrane tackles a wide range of subjects in an age when society is under siege from technology.
