- Summary:
- People Count! rests on a single but important premise: as the world shrinks and becomes ever more complex, people as "networked individuals" become ever more central to the course of events. This book seeks to depict a new era by analyzing the basic roles people occupy in their family, community, and society, including the wider world.
