About the Book and Topic:
Recent advances in computing technology have led to the development, among other things, of virtual reality. There is enormous interest in how these advances will impact on the wider social and organizational scheme of things.
Based on the success of his first book, Chris Barnatt continues the theme of the gathering momentum of cyber business. He looks at how future forms of organization may develop as the next millenium looms closer given the constantly changing nature of “reality”. His thinking is based on how the social and technological constraints placed upon organizations have evolved in irregular and often giant steps since the dawn of civilization, and how the late 20th century is not the only period in history to be leading its children into an almost unknowable future. This book will be an enlightening look at the past, present and future of our world and how change and turmoil have affected, affect and will affect social and organizational structures.
Makes predictions about how organizations and society at large will cope with the future. * Barnatt is the author of CyberBusiness.
