520 # # |a Information has come to be regarded as a symbol of the age in which we live. 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 looks closely at different approaches to informational developments, and provides critical commentaries on all the major post-war theories.
