NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "Succinct and readable.... If you suffer from digital anxiety ... here is a book that lays it all out for you." --Newsday

In lively, mordantly witty prose, Negroponte decodes the mysteries--and debunks the hype--surrounding bandwidth, multimedia, virtual reality, and the Internet, and explains why such touted innovations as the fax and the CD-ROM are likely to go the way of the BetaMax.
