The primary thesis here is the authors' belief that the emergence
of computers as an elemental force in our society must be viewed
with a sceptical eye. Crandall and Levich, one a mathematician, the
other a philosopher, strive, however, to present a balanced
viewpoint, investigating and reflecting on the good and bad sides
of this revolution, and seek meaning in this "Information Age".
Their examination is stripped of journalistic hyperbole, the cries
of self-serving prophets, and the sales pitches of the soft- and
hardware industries. In separating the wheat from the chaff, the
authors provide readers with a much better understanding of the
limitations of these new technologies, along with propositions for
their better use and within the societal context.
