Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Argues that the technology of the information age cannot replace the social resources and networks that make learning, working, and innovating possible.


Review:

"[This book] Dumpster-dives into the muck of failed predictions to show why the future isn't so likely to just let go of the past. In a measured series of eight essays, authors John Seely Brown, Xerox's chief scientist and director of the company's legendary research facility Xerox PARC, and Paul Duguid, a historical and social theorist at the University of California at Berkeley, gently deflate the most extreme claims of 'the blinkered euphoria of the infoenthusiasts,' as they term technology boosters....[I]t manages to puncture much of the hype around where technology is taking us, without making any bold pronouncements about the death of punditry."

Katharine Mieszkowski, Salon, 03/09/2000

Review:

"THE SOCIAL LIFE OF INFORMATION is a timely, well-informed and very interesting attempt to explain how ICT and the infosphere should develop....It is a circumstantial and constructive reminder of the importance of all the semantic and social constraints that we need to respect in order to build a better infosphere. It should be read by anyone interested in understanding the future."

Luciano Floridi, Times Literary Supplement, 05/26/2000
