Description:
In the present digital revolution we often seem trapped in a
Kafkaesque world of technological advances, some desired, some
disliked or even feared, which we cannot influence but must
accept. This book discusses the urgent need to redress this
situation. The authors argue that technologies succeed or fail
according to their relevance and value to people, who need to be
actively engaged in order to create shared visions and influence
their implementation.
