| Description: |
This text presents ways to understand the emerging information age in its own terms, together with its implications for societies, organizations and individuals. One chapter uses the contemporary modernization of China as a study of the complex processes of work in the information space. |
| Synopsis: |
Starting from the physical and social circumstances under which information is produced and exchanged, the author shows how the speed with which knowledge is shared, depends on how it is codified and abstracted. Information space or the "I-Space" is the concept used to map out the landscape we now inhabit, in which knowledge, information, culture and institutions themselves are being rapidly transformed by technologies. In the penultimate chapter, the contemporary modernization of China is used as a case study of the complex processes of work in the I-Space. With three dimensional diagrams, this text presents ways to understand the emerging information age in its own terms, together with its implications for societies, organizations and individuals. |
