“I understand that I'm probably not the intended audience for this book, and I was assigned to read it when I was in college, so perhaps my one-star rating is biased. But putting that possibility aside, normally I'm pretty easy to please with nonfiction books even if I'm not knowledgeable about or interested in the subject . . . that is, if the author is good at drawing the audience in. I just really had to struggle to get through the book, and don't remember it well, so I don't think the author's presentation was effective.”

“this is such a wonderful book. old but still valid. great thing is that it explains some very complex ideas in the simplest manner. must read and buy.”

“I read this book just before Christmas again after good few years Nicholas Negroponte is brilliant in is area but re-mapping his vision today would raise lots of questions. Not being critical but he his vision is lot better than Mr. Gates’s Digital DNA.I would still recommend this for those technocrats who fancy realistic version of Douglas Adams.”

“Nicholas Negroponte spends the whole book whining about how we aren't a fully digital culture (or weren't, as the book it quite dated now). All the while I'm think that he's one of the few people who are in a prime place to help make the changes he wanted.”
