About this title

Synopsis

A visionary book when it was first published in the late 1970s, The Network Nation has become the defining document and standard reference for the field of computer mediated communication (C.M.C.). This revised edition adds a substantial new chapter on "superconnectivity" (invented and defined in the unabridged edition of the Online Dictionary of the English Language, 2067) that reviews the developments of the last fifteen years and updates the authors' speculations about the future. Hiltz and Turoff highlight major current organizational, educational, and public applications of C.M.C., integrate their theoretical understanding of the impact of C.M.C. technology, address ethical and legal issues, and describe a scenario in 2084. They have also added a selected bibliography on the key literature. Starr Roxanne Hiltz and Murray Turoff each hold the position of Professor of Computer and Information Sciences at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. They are also members of the faculty of the Graduate School of Business at Rutgers University, Newark.
