DESCRIPTION:
Updated, with a New PrefaceJohn Seely Brown and Paul Duguid show us how to look beyond mere information to the social context that creates and gives meaning to it. Arguing elegantly for the important role that human sociability plays, even - perhaps especially - in the digital world, The Social Life of Information gives us an optimistic look beyond the simplicities of information and individuals. With a new introduction by David Weinberger and reflections by the authors on developments since the book's first publication, this new edition is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the human place in a digital world.. It shows how a better understanding of the contribution that communities, organizations, and institutions make to learning, working, and innovating can lead to the richest possible use of technology in our work and everyday lives
