Talking Back to the Machine: Computers and Human Aspiration (1999)

From the editors of the wildly successful Beyond Calculation, acclaimed by the New York Times for its "astonishing intellectual reach," comes a new collection of equal brilliance. Focusing on the human impact of computers, Talking to the Machine features such outstanding thinkers as Nobel laureate Murray Gell-Mann, bestselling author James Burke, Defense Secretary William Perry and others, as they describe the many ways, both good and bad, in which our lives will be altered by information technology, and what we can do to influence these changes.
