Synopsis

This text offers perspectives and insights on the interplay between technology and people. It is a compelling tour of our contemporary "technology immersion", and the author sets out to explain the new dynamics of our cultures, where each of us fits in, and how we can make the most of the extraordinary changes that are taking place in society today. The book explores everything from the views of doctors and scientists on genetic engineering to the problems that parents face contending with violent computer games. Its forecasts span science, war, religion, commerce, communications, art, manufacturing - and many other areas of our lives.
