Telecosm: How Infinite Bandwidth Will Revolutionize Our World
by George Gilder
The Free Press, 2000
ISBN 0-684-80930-3George Gilder is an internationally recognized futurist in high technology who, because of his deep understanding of the underlying science, is capable of foreseeing the future of these powerful new tools. His work is taken seriously by corporate as well as governmental leaders as his track record of predictions has been amazingly accurate.
In his new book, Gilder suggests that the computer age has given birth to the age of the telecosm technology in the form of bandwidth. He believes that bandwidth offers some of the most important social and economic opportunities of our time, and suggests that "communication is the way we weave together a personality, a family, a business, a nation, and a world. The telecosm will make human communication universal, instantaneous, unlimited in capacity, and at the margins, free."
In Telecosm, Gilder introduces some of the key innovators in technology and describes the impact of low-orbit satellites, wireless technologies, the future of TV and other media, and what this means for the whole interconnected and interdependent world. For anyone who wonders where hi-tech is heading, this book is for you!
