This work maps how the economic world has been turned upside down by technology, globalism and the death of job security. It takes up the thread of thought established in Negroponte's "Being Digital", in terms of asking how our lives will change in a world where technology is the major currency.

Review

"This is a wonderfully refreshing read. You've heard the standardstories--the gee-whiz optimism of the technophiles, the pessimism of theneo-luddites. Coyle offers something completely different. Each chapteroffers a novel, often unsettling perspective about the future. For sure shewill turn out to be wrong about some things--but no matter. This is one ofthose rare books that force your thoughts out of their usual grooves." Paul Krugman, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, authorof Pop Internationalism and The Age of Diminished Expectations
