Abstract

It forecasts technologies that will make your telephone as context-sensitive as an English butler and replace TV broadcasters with intelligent broadcatchers that assemble and deliver only the programming you want. And this book suggests what being digital will mean for our laws, education, politics, and amusements - in short, for the way we live.
