> C & F Éditions,coordinated by Alain Ambrosi, Valérie Peugeot and Daniel Pimienta, November 2005, 39€

Collective work by some thirty authors from civil societies all over the world, deciphers the central concepts of the information society”.

Technology is never neutral: it carries social, economic and cultural consequences. New information and communication technologies are no exception.The words used in international negotiations or legislation are a poor reflection of such consequences; they propagate perceptions that are rarely subjected to democratic debate, the fundamental requirement for any political decision.

This book subjects the concepts of the information age to critical perspectives from different sensibilities and cultures, thus introducing alternative visions. Fully multilingual, this work is a reference for anyone who aspires to decode these key issues, and is an invitation to pursue the debate.
