- Summary:
- A lot of people in government, business, international development, and many other arenas want to understand how technology is changing, well, just about every aspect of human interaction, and, of course, what lies ahead. Costigan (MIT CogNet and The New School) and Perry, an independent scholar have brought together contributions from researchers, consultants, and academics involved with information technology from points of view including politics and political science, economics and finances, engineering, medicine, urban planning, conflict resolution, and media campaigns. Twenty-seven contributions--research chapters and "viewpoint" chapters--are arranged in thematic sections pertaining to security, defense, and threats to states (cyberwar and cyberterror); challenges confronting individuals and societies; and challenges created by the vast amount of available information and by the "digital divide."
