SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Evolving out of a research project on information technology and society, the book explores the digitization of the American city. Laguerre examines the impact of changes to various sectors of society, brought about by the advent of information technology and the Internet upon daily life in the contemporary American metropolis. The book focuses on actual information technology practices in the Silicon Valley/San Francisco metropolitan area, documenting and explaining how those practices are remoulding social relations, global interaction and workplace environments."--Jacket.
