Publisher's Synopsis
While headlines today focus on great shifts of power at the global level, shifts of power are also taking place in the intimate, everyday world - the world of supermarkets and hospitals, banks and business offices, television and telephones. The result is a transformation of finance, politics and the media, together creating a radically different society.;Extending the ideas first set out in "Future Shock" and "The Third Wave", the author offers an assessment of the fast-arriving civilization of the 21st century.
