Talk nowadays is of an `information technology' revolution, even of an `information society'. But just what does this mean? In Theories of the Information Society Frank Webster sets out to make sense of the information explosion. He examines and assesses a variety of `images of the information society', and takes a sceptical look at what thinkers mean when they do refer to an `information society'. He looks closely at different approaches to informational developments, and provides critical commentaries on all the major post-war theories.International library of sociology.CommunicationSocial aspectsCommunicationTechnological innovationsInformation societyInformation technologyInformation policyElectronic books.20LLNG08002CommunicationSocial aspects.CommunicationTechnological innovations.Information society.Information technology.Information policy.302.2303.4833Webster Professor Frank946992Webster FrankFlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910172218403321Theories of the Information Society2139565UNINA
