This introductory textbook explores not only the idea of the "Information Society" but its practices. In doing so it examines the full range of implication of information-based activity on individuals, organisations, economies and societies, exploring the changing dimensions of power. A particular emphasis is placed on the access to and uses of information in our various economies and societies. Ewan Sutherland's approach encourages the reader to appreciate possible solutions to multidisciplinary problems.
