NATIONAL BESTSELLER • “Succinct and readable…. If you suffer from digital anxiety … here is a book that lays it all out for you.” –NewsdayIn lively, mordantly witty prose, Negroponte decodes the mysteries–and debunks the hype–surrounding bandwidth, multimedia, virtual reality, and the Internet, and explains why such touted innovations as the fax and the CD-ROM are likely to go the way of the BetaMax.
