Publisher's Summary

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.
©1996 Nicholas Negroponte (P)2009 Random House

Critic Reviews

" Being Digital flows from the pen (or cursor) of a wizard who is himself helping to create the new cosmos into which we are hurtling....To read Being Digital is to enter the future it describes." ( The New York Times Book Review)

Future of tomorrow was presented yesterday

As a young graduate reading this book opened my mind to an all new high of possibilities. Amazing thought leadership and future vision.
