Release 2.1 (Electronic book text)


A provocative and visionary look at our new digital society, from "the most powerful woman in the Net-erati" (The New York Times Magazine).

Welcome to "Release 2.1," Esther Dyson's fascinating exploration of life in our new digital society. In this provocative and timely book, Dyson -- an entrepreneur, high-tech industry analyst, government adviser, and Net expert -- examines the impact and implications of cyberspace, challenging us to think intelligently about its effect on every aspect of our private and public lives, from businesses to government to education. Written with an insider's knowledge and ready wit, and filled with anecdotes about the movers and shakers behind the products and politics of the computer industry, "Release" "2.1" presents us with a hard-hitting message: With the advent of the Internet, we all have both the opportunity and the obligation to shape the new rules we want to live by.

"Dyson uses her wide knowledge of the expanding digital environment to create a provocative portrait of the social, economic, and cultural changes being wrought by computers and the Internet."
NEW YORK TIMES

"An important, ambitious book, written in an engaging, conversational tone, that aims to lay a foundation for people coming to grips with the Internet in their live."
SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

"Part intellectual diary of early days of the PC revolution, part 'design for living in the digital age, ' her book is an outsider's inside view of how computers and the Internet have changed -- and will yet change -- our lives."
