This article from Harvard Business Review traces the shift in the economics of information. Over the past decade, managers had to adapt their operating processes to new information technologies - but now, they must rethink the strategic fundamentals of their business, say authors Philip B.

He'll examine how technology comes to redefine our perceptions of everything from religion to politics to truth - and how alternative way of living become invisible and irrelevant. While tools and technologies are indispensable to any culture, he argues, we must understand and control them and place them in the context of our larger human goals, our social values, and our national intentions.
