Summary

Provides a field manual to the technologies that are so rapidly changing our lives. Greenfield forces us to reconsider our relationship with the networked objects, services and spaces that define us. How do these technologies reshape the economy, subvert the fundamental terms of our politics, and even redefine what it means to be human? In answering these questions, Greenfield's guide clarifies the scale and nature of the crisis we now confront--and offers ways to reclaim our stake in the future. --Adapted from publisher description
